NIO's Newly Acquired RV Sindhu Sankalp ISSN 0409-7467 VOL 59 NO 2 30 JANUARY 2009 NIO's newly acquired RV Sindhu Sankalp irector of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa, along with his staff welcomed Dthe newly acquired Research Vessel Sindhu Sankalp, which arrived at the Captain of Ports Jetty, Panaji. She sailed on 14 November 2008 from the port of Dunedin, New Zealand. Besides the regular officers and crew, three members of NIO and Mr Malcolm A Macleod, previous owner, accompanied the vessel. The 56 m long and 9 m wide vessel with a gross tonnage of 709 tonnes, would be used to study the seas around India. 30 JANUARY 2009 17 R&D Highlights Speaking on this occasion, NIO New Processes released by CFTRI Director Dr Satish Shetye observed that the seas around India (the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and Mini Versatile Dhal Mill for Rural Areas the equatorial North Indian Ocean) he Central Food Technological the operation.

Bengaluru 562 123. Dedicated to the people of India Foreword It is with pride and satisfaction that I write this foreword to the book on the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs). The idea of having a national institution or a uni- versity dedicated to science was not completely new. Some years ago, in the National Committee for Science and Technology chaired by Shri C. Subramaniam, I had brought up the idea of establishing such institutions for science which would be equivalent to the IITs in engineering. For some reason, it could not happen. I kept repeating this in many places, and the idea was even included in a Planning Commission document during 1989–90. It took the right set of people and circumstances eventually to make this happen. When I was the Chairman of the Science Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, I described the idea of IISERs to the Prime Minister. He thought that it was a very good idea and gladly endorsed establishing them. When I talked to the Education Minister, Shri Arjun Singh, he expressed complete support.

The Institute started with efforts of Dr. B. N. Prasad, a mathematician at the University of Allahabad with initial support from the B. S. Mehta Trust, Kol- kata. Dr. Prasad was succeeded in January 1966 by Dr. S. R. Sinha, also of Alla- habad University. He was followed by Prof. P. L. Bhatnagar as the first formal Director. On Prof. Bhatnagar’s demise in October 1976, reponsibilities were again taken up by Dr. Sinha. In January 1983, Prof. S. S.
