Launched in the early sixties (1964) under the guidance of the Late National Professor Satyendra Nath Bose, the organization then known as the Young Scientist’s Society, registered on 5th May, 1971 as the School of Fundamental Research.  From its inception until today, this non-profit, tax exempt organization maintains a focus on non-formal scientific thinking to promote science and technical innovation at the grass-roots level, with the emphasis on assisting people living in environmentally degraded and economically backward areas.
