Director’s Message

The humanity is undergoing a rapid transformation in the domain of culture, technology and business to arrive at a best fit system for the 21st century conditions. It produces exceedingly complex challenges in the domain of energy, health, environment, food security and self-balancing socio-economic-business systems for sustaining the human life with equal opportunity on this small globe, the earth. There are incredible challenges spread across these domains of the knowledge, which need to be met through scientific pursuit and technological revolution. The fields of Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information technology, Energy management etc. have to go a long way to achieve the goals of humanity. I am sure the Research and Industry Centre with its dedicated professionals, who are in pursuit of some of these goals, will make excellent contributions in the field of Science and Technology.
