SECTION B2 Criteria-Wise Inputs
SECTION B2 Criteria-wise Inputs CRITERION I : CURRICULAR ASPECTS Criteria-wise inputs (B2-Curriculum) B2-I-1 Curricular Aspects 1.1 Curriculum Design and Development 1.1.1 How is the institutional vision and mission reflected in the academic programmes of the university? Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) was established by the visionary scientist Dr. Homi J. Bhabha in 1945, and is one of the premier research institutions in India. It has been declared a National Centre of the Government of India for Nuclear Science and Mathematics. It carries out fundamental research in diverse areas: physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer science and science education. It has doctoral programs in all these above disciplines, leading to Ph.D. degrees. TIFR aspires to be among the best scientific institutions in the world, and aims to train its students to become excellent researchers, comparable to the products of the best international universities. To achieve this aim, the structure of our curricula, our syllabi, examinations and research programmes have been so made that the students are exposed to the frontiers of knowledge in their respective disciplines, and are given hands-on exposure to advanced research. The TIFR graduate school has the advantage of being embedded in a vibrant research atmosphere, with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. The academic programmes of TIFR fully utilises the research facilities, and expertise of the faculty members, most of whom are world experts in their respective subjects. The coursework in TIFR is therefore built around the unique expertise of its faculty. Many of the advanced courses have a research / project component. -

Activity Report (2010-2012)
ICTS REPORT 2010-12 International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) TIFR Centre Building, IISc Campus Subedarpalya, Malleshwaram Bengaluru 560 012, India ICTS Report (Oct 2009- Oct 2012) Editors: Prof. Gautam Mandal (TIFR, Mumbai) Ms. Rachna Shah (Consultant - Publications) Design: www.thefool.in “The pursuit of science and its practical application are no longer subsidiary social activities today. Science forms the basis of our whole social structure without which life as we know it would be inconceivable. As Marx said, ‘Man’s power over nature lies at the root of history.’...Science has last opened up the possibility of freedom for all from long hours of manual drudgery and today we stand at the beginning of an age when every person will have the opportunity to develop himself spiritually to his fullest stature.” - Homi Bhabha CONTENTS 01 Director’s Note 6 02 Vision 11 03 ICTS Organization 15 04 People 23 05 Campus 56 06 Inaugural Event 63 07 Activity Report (Oct 2009 - Oct 2012) 69 > SC Lectures 71 > SR Lectures 77 > Public Lectures 80 > New Initiatives 88 > Completed Programmes 90 > Recent Activity 171 > Feedback 174 DIRECTOR’S NOTE 01 5 The last five years have seen ICTS grow from a fledgling institution to a global centre of activity in various areas of science. The theme of the Centre, as conceived in its inception, was epitomized by the title of its formal inaugural event “Science without boundaries”. This conference, which marked the unveiling of the foundation 'stone' was held on December 28, 2009, discussed science as a mélange of creative ideas from classical and modern disciplines, while emphasizing the need to remain strong in each of these areas. -
