These tend to concentrate on one level, and within that one aspect, the cerebral, intellectual working of a single thinker or artist’s mind. Yet if we are really to understand what the conditions are for a really creative and fulfilling life we need to understand the process at five levels. At the widest, there is the level of civilizations, some of which encourage personal creativity, while others dampen it. Then there are institutions such as a university, which encourage the individual or stifle him or her. Then there are personal networks; all thinkers work with others whether they acknowledge it or not. Then there is the level of the individual, his or her character and mind. Finally there is an element of chance or random variation. I have long been interested in these inter-acting levels and since 1982 I have been filming people talking about their life and work. In these interviews, characteristically lasting one to two hours, I have paid particular attention to the family life, childhood, education and friendships which influence us. -

O V E R V I E W
O V E R V I E W The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, a multilocational network of national laboratories/institutes, has the mandate to undertake research and development projects in diverse fields of science and technology, with emphasis on applied research and utilization of results thereof. There are at present 38 research establishments including five regional research laboratories. Some of the establishments have also set up experimental, survey field stations to further their research activities and 39 such stations attached to 16 laboratories are functioning at present. In general, all the laboratories are well equipped for undertaking basic and applied research, including development work. Many of them work on industrial raw materials and have research programmes on their beneficiation, testing and standardization. Many problems of industry, and even of pure science, being multi-disciplinary in character require for their solutions, the knowledge and techniques of more than one branch of science and call for team-work. CSIR laboratories have created facilities for such team-work; the 38 laboratories provide synergistic, discipline specific, research platforms. During the Tenth Five Year Plan, CSIR has conceptualized network projects involving various CSIR laboratories and other R&D establishments. The results of networking are very encouraging. The Annual Report 2005-06 presents CSIR’s S&T contributions in the sectors such as Aerospace Science & Technology, Biology & Biotechnology, Chemical Science & Technology, Earth Resources & Natural Hazards Assessment, Ecology & Environment, Energy, Food & Food Processing, Health Care, Drugs & Pharmaceuticals, Housing & Construction, Information Dissemination & Products, Leather, and Material, Minerals, Metals & Manufacturing. Various activities related to Central Management and Headquarters are also detailed in the Report. -
