At @CSIR_IND's 85th Foundation Day, Hon’ble Union Minister @DrJitendraSingh said national missions like the National Quantum Mission #NQM are not merely technology exercises. They are cross-ministerial, generational endeavours that go beyond a Whole-of-Government approach to become a Whole-of-Nation movement. @waghmare16 @DrNKalaiselvi @DBTIndia @moesgoi

Speaking at @CSIR_IND 's 85th #FoundationDay, Hon’ble Union Minister @DrJitendraSingh said that having begun its journey in 1942, @CSIR_IND must not only carry its legacy into 2047, but progress beyond it. A journey that began before Independence, shaping the India of tomorrow. @waghmare16 @DrNKalaiselvi @DBTIndia @moesgoi

85th Foundation Day Celebrations of #CSIR: The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is celebrating over eight decades of scientific excellence and innovation. Established in 1942, CSIR today operates through a network of 37 national laboratories and has contributed significantly to the growth of various industrial sectors. The notable innovations include the National Aroma Mission, Swaraj Tractor, indelible election ink, Saheli contraceptive pill, and indigenous Paracetamol technology, among others. It has also pioneered sustainable solutions such as bio-jet fuel and steel slag roads. In recent times, some of the notable achievements include the HANSA-NG aircraft, sickle cell anaemia test kit, hydrogen fuel-cell catamaran, and RO Bus. To mark its remarkable journey and this special milestone, launched the Special CSIR@85 Postal Stamp, the Tech Connect Special Issue, CSIR Technology Compendium, Industry Connect Special Short Film, and the special mascot named CIRA.

My Address at the 85th Foundation Day celebrations of the "Council of Scientific and Industrial Research" #CSIR at C. R. Subramaniam Hall, NASC Complex, Pusa, New Delhi. Key Takeaways: "CSIR is among the few institutions that have led India’s post-independence journey, having come into existence in 1942, before the country became independent. The organisation represents a rich scientific legacy built over more than eight decades and has developed capabilities across a wide range of domains. And therefore, the challenge before CSIR is to live up to this legacy by continuously renewing its scientific and technological work according to the current and futuristic requirements of the country. The success stories emanating from different CSIR institutes have increasingly become associated with the identity of the State or UT where they exist. CSIR’s contributions range from leather technologies and jewellery to healthcare, agriculture, road technologies, Aroma Mission, food technology and aerospace. Last one decade, led by CSIR President Sh @narendramodi , witnessed increased visibility of scientific achievements and their connect with citizens. The work in the CSIR labs was happening earlier also, but its success stories are now reaching the people for whom they are meant. For 2047, we aim at technological sovereignty, which is crucial to national sovereignty".

85th Foundation Day Celebrations of #CSIR: Inaugurated and did a walkaround of the Exhibition showcasing wide range of technologies developed by #CSIR institutes/labs across the country and the technology support provided to StartUps. Another important highlight of the Foundation Day celebrations was a special “SciArt” exhibition, whose unique feature was paintings by eminent scientists themselves, depicting various science related phenomena through creative illustrations.

▪️India’s journey towards building a new generation of indigenous and reusable space transportation systems has received a significant boost with the Technology Development Board (TDB), Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India, signing an agreement with M/s Agnikul Cosmos Private Limited, Chennai, Tamil Nadu for ₹200 crore financial support under the Research Development and Innovation (RDI) Fund ▪️The project focuses on the development of a reusable launch vehicle – Agnibaan RLV, with the objective of taking the technology from TRL-4 and above to TRL-8. The financial support will be provided through Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCD) ▪️The project seeks to move beyond the conventional approach of recovering only the first stage of a launch vehicle and work towards full-system reusability. The proposed architecture is designed to enable high-frequency and repeatable launches while reducing launch and manufacturing costs and limiting the generation of space debris Want to know more?

Prof. Satish Dhawan believed in building scientific institutions that could take India further, while ensuring that technology remained connected to people and national needs. His legacy lives on in the institutions, talent and capabilities that continue to shape India’s scientific journey. @DrJitendraSingh @waghmare16 @isro @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @moesgoi

Arrived at the 85th Foundation Day Celebrations of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (#CSIR). With DG, CSIR, Dr N. Kalaiselvi, along with Secretaries of the Science Ministries, Directors and Senior Scientists from different CSIR labs.

#OneDayOneResearch Scientists @jncasr, an autonomous institute of @IndiaDST, with collaborators from the University of Sydney and @iiscbangalore, have discovered a crystalline semiconductor that generates exceptionally high thermoelectric voltage from a temperature difference. The breakthrough challenges established limits in solid-state thermoelectrics and could enable ultrasensitive temperature sensors, heat detectors and quantum sensing technologies.

They saw imports. India saw potential. Make in India is reshaping India’s manufacturing story with stronger domestic production, record defence exports, Made-in-India mobiles reaching global markets, rising electronics output and growing investment in manufacturing. See the shift. Feel the Make in India momentum. #12YearsOfMakeInIndia

They said India could never. India said, "Watch us make it". Make in India is powering stronger capabilities in electronics, automobiles, defence, semiconductors, railways, space and advanced machinery, with Indian products reaching global markets. ▶️ Press play and see the Make in India effect. #12YearsOfMakeInIndia

#TOI - Before joining @NITIAayog in May 2026, Prof. @karandi65 served as Secretary @IndiaDST from October 2023 to May 2026. During his tenure, he was involved in initiatives including the @ANRFIndia and the Rs 1 lakh crore #RDI Fund for private-sector research and deep-tech startups. @DrJitendraSingh @waghmare16 @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @moesgoi Read more at: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

Formally launched the commercial use of bio-based biodegradable Plastic developed from Polylactic Acid (PLA), marking an important step in India’s transition towards next-generation sustainable manufacturing and replacement of single-use plastic. Also addressed the collaborating partners. "In today's world, there is no such thing as waste; materials described as waste often contain significant underlying value that can be unlocked through technology. India’s diverse experience with biological resources, recycling and biomass conversion gives the country an opportunity to develop solutions that can have wider global relevance. The project demonstrates how indigenous scientific capabilities can be connected with industrial production to create high-value materials while addressing environmental concerns. The initiative can contribute to India’s emergence as a global leader in bioeconomy and as a source of practical solutions for other countries. The initiative represents a significant milestone in India’s bioeconomy journey, where biotechnology is moving beyond laboratory research towards commercial products and employment generation, while India’s bioeconomy, which was around US$10 billion in 2014, has grown to nearly US$195 billion, reflecting the rapid expansion of biotechnology-led economic activity, particularly after PM Sh @narendramodi launched the BioE3 policy".
