	Tata Institute of Fundamental Research - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was established in 1945 under the direction of Homi J. Bhabha and was given the status of deemed university in June 2003.
		The institute does fundamental research in the fields of chemistry, mathematics, computer science, public health, biology, physics and science education.
		The institute does work in many core fields like algebra, algebraic geometry, lie groups, representation theory and quantum groups, number theory, combinatorics, differential geometry, topology, mathematical physics, astronomy and astrophysics, structural biology, molecular biophysics, molecular biology, nuclear and atomic physics, and theoretical physics, alongside many others.

		The choice of a research area by a scholar is dependent on several factors: his/her interest in the subject, its acceptability to a research supervisor or group, and the overall needs of the institute, among other factors.
		Research into matter and its properties is exciting because it offers a window to the fundamental laws of nature, through which advanced technologies can be developed which influence the way we live.
		Research in Computer Science at TIFR seeks to address basic issues, which can be expected to influence the development of computers in the future.

	tata.com : JRD Tata — A retrospective
		Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata, JRD to the world, remains the undisputed doyen of Indian industry, widely respected for his contribution to the development of Indian industry and aviation in particular.
		As one of his executives, Darbari Seth, once said,"Mr Tata was able to harness a team of individualistic executive, capitalising upon their strengths, downplaying their differences and deficiencies; all by the sheer weight of his leadership".
		He was also a vital bridge between the scientific establishment and the Government through his founding of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and as the longest serving member of the Atomic Energy Commission.

		The year 2004 is significant for the Tata Group, as it marks the 100th birth anniversary of JRD Tata and Naval Tata and the death centenary of Jmsetji Tata.
		Tata's personal interest in technology, combined with India's isolation in the 1950s and 1960s, spurred several group companies, particularly Tata Steel and Tata Chemicals, to innovate in their fields.
		Before JRD took over, the labour situation at key Tata plants was frequently tense despite the fact that management had poured millions into subsidised housing for workers, offered free medical and hospital treatment, as well as free education and was miles ahead of government legislation in terms of labour practices.

	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.
		Additional research is planned in the current areas, in plant biology, and in emerging areas at the interface of biology and the physical sciences.
		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.

		Tata executives would always be complaining - in private, undoubtedly - that their chairman spent more time worrying about the airline than he did running all of the Tata Group.
		JRD and the Tata Group were certainly stymied by the political tenets and orthodoxy of the period.
		The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, the Tata Memorial Hospital, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, the National Institute of Advanced Studies and the National Centre for the Performing Arts, each an exemplar of excellence in its field, were projects that would not have come to fruition without JRD's steadfast support.

		The institute's current director, K. VijayRaghavan, is generous to a fault, and accommodates the most outrageous of whims of his colleagues in the interest of furthering science.
		Most laboratories at the institute are engaged in research on different biological scales — from understanding the structure of molecules to the evolution of behaviour.
		Although the graduate-student pool generates a group of committed researchers, the lack of a vibrant postdoctoral research culture is the sign of an unsophisticated research community.

	Homi Jehangir Bhabha (1909-1966)
		This Institute, which was named as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), became the nursery for ‘growing’ the Atomic Energy Programme in the early years, and for building a team of experts.
		The family, both on his father’s and his mother’s side was close to the house of Tatas, who had pioneered projects in the fields of metallurgy, power generation, and science and engineering education, in the early part of the Twentieth century.
		The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research was formally inaugurated in December 1945 in ‘Kenilworth’ building, which was Bhabha’s ancestral home.

		The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) was established in 1945 at the initiative of Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha.
		The research activities of the department at present are focussed on understanding interactions between small molecules at the most fundamental level on one hand and investigating the structure, function and dynamics of macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids etc. on the other.
		Fundamental research at the highest energy with the smallest particles is possible by accelerating, crashing particles into each other and then recording what happens.
