The Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) is the premier industrial research and development (R&D) organization in India. The phrase research and development (also R and D or more often R&D) according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, refers India, officially the Republic of India (भारत गणराज्य inc-Latn Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages) is a country It was founded on 26 September 1942, by a resolution of the then Central Legislative Assembly. Events 46 BC - Julius Caesar dedicates a Year 1942 ( MCMXLII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (the link will display the full 1942 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. It is funded mainly by the India Ministry of Science and Technology. ^[1][2] and it is one of the world’s largest publicly funded (R&D) organisations, having linkages to academia, other R&D organisations and industry. The phrase research and development (also R and D or more often R&D) according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, refers ^[3]

Although CSIR is mainly funded by Science and Technology Ministry, it operates as an autonomous body registered under the Registration of Societies Act of 1860. ^[3]

The R & D activities of CSIR includes various fields such as aerospace engineering, Structural engineering, ocean sciences, molecular biology, metallurgy, chemicals, mining, food, petroleum, leather, and environment. Aerospace engineering is the branch of Engineering behind the design construction and science of Aircraft and Spacecraft. Structural engineering is a field of Engineering dealing with the analysis and design of Structures that support or resist loads Structural engineering is Oceanography (from the greek words Ωκεανός meaning Ocean and γράφω meaning to write also called oceanology or Molecular biology is the study of Biology at a molecular level Metallurgy is a domain of Materials science that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their intermetallic compounds, and their A chemical substance is a Material with a definite chemical composition. Mining is the extraction of valuable Minerals or other geological materials from the earth usually (but not always from an Ore body Food science is a discipline concerned with all technical aspects of Food, beginning with Harvesting or slaughtering, and ending with its Cooking Petroleum ( L petroleum, from Greek πετρέλαιον, lit Leather is a material created through the Tanning of hides and Skins of Animals primarily Cattlehide The Tanning process Environmental science is the study of interactions among physical chemical and biological components of the environment. ^[3] The Director General of CSIR Dr. Raghunath A.
