  Making bright ideas happen
Another arm of the TIFR, the National Centre for Biological Sciences in Bangalore, is engaged in basic research in the frontier areas of biology, which include biochemistry, biophysics and bioinformatics; genetics and development; cellular organisation and signalling; and neurobiology.
One of the unique features of the TIFR is the presence of many disciplines under one roof, a testament to the eclectic interests and versatility of its founder, Homi J. Bhabha.
The Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), one of the TIFR's national centres, is devoted to curriculum development, to the promotion of excellence in science and mathematics education, and to the popularisation of science.

 A controversial choice
Shobo has been visiting TIFR regularly for the last five years, seems to have a lot of ideas, is keen to bring about a change and has a lot of idealism.
In the absence of a proper forum for regular interaction with the council, the inputs from the TIFR staff began to be fed in various fragmented forms — through e-mails to the committee members, and letters by small groups.

 About NCRA
TIFR, India's premier institution for research in Basic Sciences, was founded by late Dr. Homi Bhabha in 1945, with support from the Sir Dorabjee Tata Trust and the then Government of Bombay.
Although NCRA continues to be very much a part of the School of Physics of TIFR, it has a separate Faculty and Board of Management headed by the Director of TIFR.
In 1994, the Council of Management of TIFR decided to bring all activities and facilities of the Radio Astronomy Group of TIFR at Ooty, Pune, Narayangaon and Khodad under the overall control of NCRA with its headquarters in Pune.
