  4. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai, Maharashtra (http://www.barc.gov.in/)
    Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha conceived the Nuclear Program in India. Dr. Bhabha established the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) for carrying our nuclear science research in 1945. To intensify the effort to exploit nuclear energy for the benefit of the nation, Dr. Bhabha established the Atomic Energy Established, Trombay (AEET) in January 1954 for multidisciplinary research program essential for the ambitious nuclear program of India. After the sad demise of Bhabha in 1966, AEET was renamed Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).
    Dr. Bhabha Established the BARC Training School to cater to the manpower needs of the expanding atomic energy research and development program. In Bhabha’s own words “When Nuclear Energy has been successfully applied for power production in, say a couple of decades from now, India will not have to look abroad fro its experts but will find them ready at Hand”. Dr. Bhabha emphasized on self reliance in all the fields of nuclear science and engineering.
