Our student strength has increased to 129. We are proud to say that more and more students are getting benefitted from the thriving outreach programmes that we have and the efforts of our faculty, both at an individual and institutional level. Our post-doctoral student strength has gone up to 53. Academic productivity of the members of Institute has remained high. There were several significant publications reported in national and international journals and our faculty have authored few books as well. Six students were awarded Ph.D., Four students have submitted their Ph.D. theses and two students were awarded M.Sc., by Research. Three students have submitted master’s theses under the supervision of our faculty. 19 conferences and workshops were organized at IMSc during 2013-2014. These include Discussion Meeting in Topology, Brainstorming Meeting on Econophysics: Science for the Economy, 13th Asian Quantum Information Science Conference (AQIS13), One Per Cent: Mathematics workshop for students of classes XI and XII, joint IMSc-ISI workshop on Subfactors, Games of Imperfect Information via Automata and Logic, Discussion meeting on statistical physics of fracture, 1st IMSc School on Quantum Information, Advanced school on Parameterized and Kernelization (ASPAK)to name but a few. There were 58 lectures/lecture series conducted at the Institute during the reporting period. In addition, 4 lecture courses were given at Chennai Mathematical Institute for their National Undergraduate Programme. The list of off-site conferences organized by IMSc faculty also continues to be impressive. This academic year 9 conferences were organized outside namely, ‘Satellite Meeting on Quantum Correlation and its application in communication and cryptography, International Workshop on Optical Quantum Information, Advanced Instructional School in Number Theory, Round Table on Complex Systems, India-France Technology Summit, Winter School on Measure Theory and Functional Analysis, National Strings Meeting, Recent Advances in High Energy Physics (Sponsored by National Science Academies), Conference on Operator and spectral theory, and Operator algebras and non-commutative geometry’. We are proud to note the awards and honors bestowed on our faculty at the individual level. Prof. Sanoli Gun was awarded SERB Women excellence award for 2013, by the Science and Engineering Research Board, DST. This report was compiled through the efforts of an Annual Report Committee comprising of Drs. Purusattam Ray, C. R. Subramanian, Pralay Chatterjee, Paul Pandian and Usha Devi. I owe my gratitude to all of them. June, 2014 R.

  • Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology
    SHANTI SWARUP BHATNAGAR PRIZE FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2005 Biological Sciences Dr Tapas Kumar Kundu The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Biological Sciences has been awarded to Dr Tapas Kumar Kundu of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore. Dr Kundu has done outstanding research in the area of chromatin transcription. He has identified PC4 as a functional component of chromatin and as a unique activator of P53. He has also established the role of acetylation in chromatin transcription and histone chaperone activity, besides using this process for identifying new drug candidates. & Dr Shekhar Chintamani Mande The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Biological Sciences has been awarded to Dr Shekhar Chintamani Mande of the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics, Hyderabad. Dr Mande has contributed very richly to the area of structural biology of proteins. His studies have thrown light on the unrecognized function of chaperonin-10 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis . His studies have provided unusual insights to the mechanism of action of heat shock proteins and those involved in oxidative stress from M. tuberculosis. Chemical Sciences Dr Samaresh Bhattacharya The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Chemical Sciences has been awarded to Dr Samaresh Bhattacharya of the Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Dr Bhattacharya has made outstanding contributions to the platinum group coordination compounds and their applications to activation of organic molecules. & Dr S Ramakrishnan The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Chemical Sciences has been awarded to Dr S.

Ltd. Acknowledgement Annual Report of the ‘Satyendra Nath Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences’ is a brief representation of its activities of a financial year. The report reflects research activities, administrative activities, academic progress and achievement of young research scholars, development of infrastructure and facilities, and establishment of network with advanced research groups around the world. It’s seventh time I have been assigned the job of compilation of Annual Report of the Centre. To prepare the Annual Report, all the faculty members and sections of the Centre spent their valuable time to provide respective data. It is a time bound work to be completed within a short span of time. This is the first time the Annual Report is translated and typed in Hindi within the Centre. The Hindi Officer, Sadhana Tiwari has given sincere fatigueless effort to translate the entire Annual Report in Hindi and library staff - Gurudas Ghosh and Ananya Sarkar typed the Annual Report in Hindi within a very limited time period. Words won’t be suffice to describe the painstaking labour of Hindi translation team. I would like to acknowledge the sincere efforts and labour of my Library staff - Gurudas Ghosh, Ananya Sarkar and Amit Roy without whom the work could not be completed within the stipulated time.

It is an autonomous institution fully funded by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. The Institute was founded as the Mehta Research Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (MRI). On 10th Oct 2000 the Institute was renamed as Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI) after the acclaimed mathematician, the late Prof Harish-Chandra. MRI started with the efforts of Dr. B. N. Prasad, a mathematician at the University of Allahabad, with initial support from the B. S. Mehta Trust, Kolkata. Dr. Prasad was succeeded in January 1966 by Dr. S. R. Sinha, also of Allahabad University. He was followed by Prof. P. L. Bhatnagar as the first formal Director. After an interim period, in January 1983 Prof. S. S. Shrikhande joined as the next Director of the Institute. During his tenure the dialogue with the DAE entered into decisive stage and a review committee was constituted by the DAE to examine the Institute’s future.

I am going to resist the temptation of evaluating myself as to what I have or have not accomplished as head of mathematics, although I do believe that it’s always fruitful to take stock, to become aware of one’s strengths, and perhaps even more so of one’s weaknesses, especially when the goal we have set for ourselves is to become a strong force in the international world of Mathematics.

As usual, 2003-2004 was an academically productive year in terms of scientific publications and scientific meetings. The Institute conducted the “Fifth SERC School on the Physics of Disordered Systems”; a two day meeting on “Operator Algebras” and the “third IMSc Update Meeting: Automata and Verification”. The Institute co-sponsored the conference on “Geometry Inspired by Physics”; the “Confer- ence in Analytic Number Theory”; the fifth “International Conference on General Relativity and Cosmology” held at Cochin and the discussion meeting on “Field-theoretic aspects of gravity-IV” held at Pelling, Sikkim. The Institute faculty participated in full strength in the AMS conference in Bangalore. The NBHM Nurture Programme, The Subhashis Nag Memorial Lecture and The Institute Seminar Week have become an annual feature. This year’s Nag Memorial Lecture was delivered by Prof. Ashoke Sen from the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad. The Institute has also participated in several national and international collaborative projects: the project on “Automata and concurrency: Syntactic methods for verification”, the joint project of IMSc, C-DAC and DST to bring out CD-ROMS on “The life and works of Srini- vasa Ramanujan”, the Xth plan project “Indian Lattice Gauge Theory Initiative (ILGTI)”, the “India-based neutrino observatory” project, the DRDO project on “Novel materials for applications in molecular electronics and energy storage devices” the DFG-INSA project on “The spectral theory of Schr¨odinger operators”, and the Indo-US project on “Studies in quantum statistics”.
