The university will offer global participative innovative courses — like abrasion engineering, fabrionics — that have never been offered in India, he said during the diamond jubilee celebrations of National Chemical Laboratory.
“The power of the board of members of this university will be all inclusive and they will not have to approach the government for every clearance. We will also ensure that more younger people will get to be the decision makers at the university,” Brahmachari said. The university will be spread across CSIR’s 30 laboratories in the country.
In another announcement, Brahmachari said that a CSIR innovations complex is underway at the NCL campus which will bring all the science innovations together to create knowledgable wealth and affordable health care — the two major challenges faced by CSIR. Similar centres are planned at Chennai and Delhi, he said.
Some of the other challenges faced by CSIR are catalysing industrial growth, nurturing human resource in science and technology, creating technology for the masses and pioneering India’s intellectual property movement.
Brahmachari gave away various awards to NCL scientists on this occasion. The function was attended by Dr Raghunath Mashelkar, NCL director S Sivaram among others.
