About Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize (1961 - 1970)

The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology (SSB) was a science award in India given annually by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) for notable and outstanding research, applied or fundamental, in six categories. It was the highest, most prestigious and coveted prize given in the area of multidisciplinary science in India.

The award is named after the founder Director of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) India, the late Dr (Sir) Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar and is known as the ‘Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar (SSB) Prize for Science and Technology’. The Prize is given each year for outstanding contributions to science and technology.

History of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize (1961 - 1970)

Nominations for the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize are reviewed by CSIR's Human Resource Development Group, which routes each candidate through a discipline-specific advisory committee of senior scientists before a final decision by CSIR's governing council. The process weighs the originality and impact of a candidate's body of work rather than any single paper, typically spanning several months each year. Because the prize sits across seven distinct fields, each committee applies criteria suited to its own discipline while holding to the same overall standard of research excellence the award was created to reward.
