Description
DescriptionThe thirty-five chapters in the volume, contributed by eminent scholars, discuss in a simple, lucid manner the historical background of the establishment of science institutes that were established in pre-Independence India, and still exist, their functions and their present status. This volume is divided into six parts, each discussing Indian science institutes that specialize in a particular field. Part I is about the initial developments in the field of modern science in India and deals with umbrella institutions for the cultivation of science. In Part II, institutes related with agricultural and botanical sciences are discussed; and astronomical and meteorological sciences, and the institutes dedicated to these fields, are the topics of discussion in Part III. Part IV delves into the area of engineering sciences; while Part V discusses medical science institutes. Part VI focuses on the institutions for teaching basic science in colleges, universities and institutes of research. The volume is an exciting read not only for scholars and students in this field, but also for general readers interested in institutional history.
