S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences (SNBNCBS) is an autonomous research institute dedicated to basic research in mathematics sciences under the Department of Science and Technology of Government of India. It is located in West Bengal, Salt Lake, Kolkata. This institute was named after the Indian scientist Satyendra Nath Bose and established in 1986. Chanchal Kumar Majumdar was the founder director of this institute.[2]

As this is a research institute, mainly Ph.D. program is done here. From 2001 Integrated Ph.D. (M.Sc.+Ph.D.) program was started. After completion of two years of study, a M.Sc. degree is given by University of Calcutta. Formerly, this degree was given by West Bengal University of Technology. Students of this institute can submit their Ph.D. thesis to Jadavpur University, the University of Calcutta, West Bengal University of Technology or any other university which allows students to do so.[3]

History

[edit]

In June 1982 Union Government having decided to setup an institution for research to be dedicated to the hollowed memory of Styendra nath Bose and appointed B. D. Pande lead committee.[4]

The commissioning of the PARAM Rudra Supercomputer at SNBNCBS in Kolkata on September 26, 2024, represents a pivotal advancement in the city’s computing landscape. This survey note provides a comprehensive examination of its specifications, impact, and broader implications.[5]

S.N. Bose Astronomical Observatory

[edit]

The inauguration of the Panchet Hill Observatory in January 2025 marked a pivotal moment for astronomical research in eastern India, establishing the region as a new hub for observational astronomy. Located atop Panchet Hill in the Garpanchakot area of Purulia district, West Bengal. The decision to establish the observatory was made by SNBNCBS in 2014, with land acquisition formalized in 2018.[6] The observatory is strategically located at an elevation of 600 meters above ground level and at a longitude of approximately 86° E, a position that fills a critical gap in global observation networks. Along this longitude, stretching from the Arctic Ocean to Antarctica, observatories are sparse, making Panchet Hill Observatory a major facility.[7]
