About the Institute:
The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research is a National Centre of the Government of India, under the umbrella of the Department of Atomic Energy, as well as a deemed University awarding degrees for masters and doctoral programs. At TIFR, we carry out basic research in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer science and science education. Our main campus is located in Mumbai, but we have additional campuses in Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad. The work of the Institute is now carried out in three Schools: the School of Mathematics, the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Technology and Computer Sciences. The Institute was granted the status of a deemed university in 2003.
Vision:
It is the duty of people like us to stay in our own country and build up outstanding schools of research such as some other countries are fortunate to possess.' This was the vision that guided the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research which Homi Bhabha founded.
Mission:
To promote advanced scientific research in the country.
To promote flexible funding of new initiatives at the Institute in research activities at the forefront of Science, Technology and Mathematics, there is a pressing need to create a substantial corpus. The TIFR Council of Management has approved the establishment of a general purpose Endowment Fund for this purpose. Such a Fund could serve to promote extended visits of young and distinguished scientists from different institutions in the country and abroad for collaborative research. The Endowment fund collected will also be able to strengthen the other activities of promoting academic excellence at the Institute which includes financial support in the form of augmented research scholarships and additional funding to exceptionally talented and highly motivated young students and scientists who would wish to join the Institute for their doctoral and post doctoral research.
