From the Atomic Energy Training School to the Homi Bhabha National Institute

The Training School was established to build research and development personnel for the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) in a manner that does not drain away senior persons from the universities, but on the contrary, gives training, employment and opportunities to young graduates passing out of universities. Graduates of the Training School have made India fully competent in all aspects of nuclear science, technology and their applications, and have also contributed to several major scientific and technological efforts outside the ambit of atomic energy. Several educational programmes have been nurtured by the institutions set up by DAE and this has enabled the Department to set up the Homi Bhabha National Institute, a Deemed to be Uni­versity, and further expand the educational progra­mmes and intensify research and innovation through the medium of research students
