About the organization:
India is one of the top-ranking countries in the field of basic research. Indian Science has come to be regarded as one of the most powerful instruments of growth and development, especially in the emerging scenario and competitive economy. In the wake of the recent developments and the new demands that are being placed on the S&ampT system, it is necessary for us to embark on some major science projects which have relevance to national needs and which will also be relevant for tomorrow’s technology. The Department of Science & Technology plays a pivotal role in promotion of science & technology in the country. The department has wide ranging activities ranging from promoting high end basic research and development of cutting edge technologies on one hand to service the technological requirements of the common man through development of appropriate skills and technologies on the other. The Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) was established in 1974 and is an apex body through which the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India promotes R&D programmes in newly emerging and challenging areas of science and engineering. SERC is composed of eminent scientists, technologists drawn from various universities/national laboratories and Industry. This Council is assisted by Programme Advisory Committees (PACs) in various disciplines of Science & Engineering The mandate of research supported by the SERC includes increased and expanded knowledge in basic research, excellence in science & engineering, innovation and promotion of selected areas, encouragement for industrial partnership in projects under engineering and technology, training of manpower for future requirement and encouragement to young scientists and students ,SERC has the broad mission of promoting and challenging new areas of science & engineering with focus on basic research in all disciplines. It also encourages involvement of academic and research institutions to undertake research in identified areas. It also acts as a mechanism for inter agency coordination with other S&T agencies for better management of R&D funding through joint/ complimentary funding in major projects. This is so since other S&T agencies fund R&D in their specialised areas such as agriculture (ICAR), health (ICMR), defence (DRDO), space (DoS), atomic energy (DAE), non-conventional energy (MNES) etc. SERC Schools is to encourage Young Scientists to take up challenging research and development activities. Program Advisory Committee is promoting the program in disciplines like Life, Chemical, Physical and Engineering Sciences. The Universities/ Institutions, located in remote places, can send specific request on Orientation on SERC & DST funding to enable the DST staff members to visit the concerned institutions.
