The Indian Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) was set up in 1954 and its mandate includes research including fundamental research in matters connected with atomic energy and the development of its uses in power generation, research, agriculture, industry and health care and advancement of higher mathematics. In pursuit of its mandate DAE has established several research and development centres, grant-in-aid institutions and has taken in its fold several existing grant-in-aid institutions. All research institutions under the umbrella of the DAE have been pursuing academic programme right from their inception. Considering continued expansion of atomic energy programme and considering the fact that the DAE institutions are engaged in human resource development programmes, the DAE Science Research Council recommended in 2003 that the DAE should establish a university-level institution. After completing all formalities, Prime minister of India, Manmohan Singh, announced[7] the approval of the government of India for setting up of HBNI on 4 June 2005. It is named after the late Indian physicist Homi J. Bhabha. The HRD Ministry of the government of India declared Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI) a deemed to be university along with ten Constituent Institutions (CIs).
The first director/vice-chancellor, Ravi Grover has written a brief history of the institute in an article published by him on the website of the Indian National Academy of Engineering.[8] He has also written an article in Current Science (10 October 2019) explaining the rationale for setting up the institute.[9]
Academic programmesedit
For developing a well trained central government engineers in the area of nuclear science and engineering, DAE established the "Training School" in 1957 at Trombay, Mumbai.[10] Courses are conducted at all CIs and at BARC Training schools[11]
The Nature Index has ranked HBNI 10th in the world under the ranking of "Nine universities under 50 in the fast lane", published in 2019.[14]
