A Concise History of Science in India c2.4

c2.4

After a period of initial deliberations and discussions among its Fellows, the Academy set up a History of Science Board and, with the funds provided by the Government of India in the then Ministry of Scientific Research and Cultural Affairs, started research units for the collection and study of source materials for the eventual compilation, in several volumes, of the History of Sciences in India. During 1964–65, the Board was replaced by a National Commission composed of a number of scientists and historians in keeping with the recommendations of the 1950 Symposium.
