India is fortunate to possess a reasonably well-developed infrastructure for science education and research, despite being less developed economically compared to the Western world. The tradition of modern science received significant boost in the early years of the twentieth century with the foundation of centres of learning like Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru, Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and many others in different parts of the country. The planning for scientific research in various fields had begun in decades preceding the political freedom in August 1947.
