About Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology in Engineering Science

Given for significant contributions to engineering and applied sciences, this prize recognizes innovations in technology development, systems design, and interdisciplinary engineering solutions. The recipients often bridge the gap between scientific research and industrial applications, promoting national technological growth.

History of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology in Engineering Science

The engineering sciences category of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize recognises an Indian engineer-researcher for original work with real technological or industrial impact, judged alongside six sister categories in the natural and life sciences. Instituted in 1958 by CSIR and named after its founding director, the prize is open to citizens under forty-five whose qualifying research was conducted in India within the preceding five years. Nominees are assessed by discipline-specific panels before final CSIR selection, with results traditionally announced on September 26th, the organisation's Foundation Day.
