The article discusses the National Initiative on Undergraduate Science (NIUS) programme in chemistry conducted by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (TIFR), Mumbai, which was initiated in 2004. Being located in a science education research and development institution, the programme has made efforts to interact with chemistry teachers and first-year undergraduate students and, thus, is different when compared to similar programmes within the country. The article reviews the key ideas of the programme, its growth and evolution to date and likely directions for its expansion in the near future.
