The Director General of CSIR is the principal executive of CSIR. The current Director General of CSIR is Dr. Shekhar C. Mande. The Director General of CSIR is also the Chairman of the CSIR Governing Body. Presently CSIR is dedicated to the service of the nation through 38 National Research Laboratories/Institutes spread across the country including its Headquarters at New Delhi. CSIR-CEERI is also the National Laboratory of CSIR located at Pilani town in Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan. Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute (CEERI), Pilani, a constituent laboratory of CSIR, incepted in the year 1950 when Dr. Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar, the pioneer of CSIR, approached to the the country’s famous industrialist Shri GD Birla for financial assistance for the establishment of the R&D institute dedicated to electronics research. With the farsightedness of Shri GD Birla and the efforts of the then Prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, the foundation stone for the establishment of CSIR-CEERI National Laboratory of CSIR was laid on 21st September 1953 by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru at Pilani. Thereafter, the Electronics Committee constituted under the chairmanship of Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha, keeping in mind the industrial requirements of the country, started developing CEERI as a premier research institute for research and development in the field of electronics. This National Research Laboratory was established to give impetus to research and development of electronics in the country and to make the country self-reliant by providing support to the industries of the country. Presently Dr. P.C. Panchariya is the Director of CSIR-CEERI with effect from 14th July 2020. CSIR-CEERI has played a very important role in developing and promoting research and development in the field of Cyber Physical Systems, Microwave Devices and Smart Sensors. The Institute has excellent and state-of-the-art R&D facilities and dedicated scientific and technical manpower for state-of-the-art research work in all three research areas of Electronics. Established with the objective of making India self-reliant in the field of electronics, this National Research Institute is a major source of knowledge, science and technologies in the country for social interests and is constantly striving to be at the forefront in this direction. The institute is situated in an area of more than 72 hectares which includes laboratory and residential complex. There are project staffs and research students in the institute apart from the regular employees. The Institute campus is full and well equipped with all human facilities. This institute is making significant contribution not only through high quality research programs but also through its academic activities. The Institute is conducting M Tech and PhD research courses in the field of Advanced Semiconductor Electronics, Advanced Electronic Systems and High Power Microwave Systems Engineering under the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR). Since the last six decades, the institute is dedicated to the research in the field of electronics in the country, has made many achievements for which the institute has been encouraged and rewarded from time to time. In the changing times, keeping in the view of priority and industrial policy of the country, CSIR-CEERI, through its tireless efforts, has not only started research on new technologies in the field of electronics, but also It has made invaluable contribution towards reducing the dependence of industry and public of the country on foreign technology imports. The institute has established many records in the past and it is determined to raise its flag in future also in the field of research. ...view more
