DESCRIPTION :

Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST)¸ Mohali (Punjab)¸ an autonomous institution of Department of Science and Technology (DST)¸ Government of India¸ has been established under the umbrella of NANO MISSION¸ initiated by DST to boost research and development in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in India. INST started its activities on 3rd January 2013¸ the date on which its first Director was appointed. The institute is currently operating from its transit campus at Habitat Centre¸ Sector-64¸ Phase-X¸ Mohali¸ Punjab. The new campus of INST would be set up on 35 acers of land in the Knowledge City at Sector-81 (Mohali¸ Punjab)¸ next to IISER Mohali campus¸ which is very near to new Chandigarh International Airport. INST¸ amongst other scientific institutions of Chandigarh and its nearby area is also part of Chandigarh Region Innovation and Knowledge Cluster (CRIKC)¸ an initiative of Punjab Government to foster and sustain close academic alliances between institutions of higher education and research in the Chandigarh region.

INST brings together biologists¸ chemists¸ physicists¸ materials scientists and engineers having interest in nanoscience and technology. INST scientists¸ having strengths in basic science together with more application oriented mind from different backgrounds¸ work together by joining hands as a cohesive unit¸ under a congenial work environment¸ on a common platform apart from carrying out their individual research. The aim is to generate processes¸ technologies and devices directed towards national priorities especially in sectors like Agriculture¸ defence¸ healthcare¸ energy¸ environment and water. INST encourages outstanding research resulting in publications in the best internationally acclaimed journals ¸ develop processes for strategic materials for indigenous production (import substitution)¸ generate devices and advanced technology for defence and for commercialisation and also develop low-cost affordable devices especially in healthcare for the socially deprived section of our society.
