The need for pursuit of science arises from the innate curiosity of human beings, making them wonder, deliberate and learn. Natural sciences observe nature across different scales and the knowledge acquired is often used for the benefit of mankind through technological applications. Study of nature at extreme scales always pushes the existing limits of technology, and has made it necessary that governments across the world pool in their human and other resources through international collaborations. The wide participation of India in large international projects, mega-science projects, is highlighted in this article. The sociological and scientific need and implications for the participation of our country are also discussed.
