CSIR Young Scientist Awards
Submitted by admin on
CSIR Young Scientist Awards were introduced in 1987, seeking to promote in-house excellence in various fields of science and technology. These awards are for promoting excellence and recognising outstanding contributions made by the young CSIR scientists for their work done primarily in India during the last 5 yrs preceding the year of the Award.
Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar (SSB) Prize for Science and Technology
Submitted by admin on
Named after the founder Director of CSIR, the late Dr (Sir) Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar, this prestigious award was instituted in the year 1957. SSB award is given each year in recognition of outstanding Indian work in science and technology. SSB Prize of Rs 5 Lakh each are awarded annually for notable and outstanding research, fundamental or applied in the concerned discipline.
