About Us
The Council of Scientific & industrial Research (CSIR) the premier industrial R&D organization of India was constituted in 1942 by a resolution of the then Central Legislative Assembly. It is an autonomous body registered under the registration of Societies Act of 1860.
Science and Technology has always been a major driver of a nation's socio-economic development and CSIR has had a long history of developing technologies for the masses. Many of these technologies are in practice even today. The Scientists who developed these technologies have remained nameless; many have even been forgotten. However, the legacy of discovery/invention has never been abandoned at CSIR.
CSIR, the premier Science & Technology organization of the country, draws inspiration from the words of our first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, "It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty" and remains committed to translating the might of science for the benefits of the masses, since inception.
CSIR feels that today more than ever before Science & Technology interventions need to be deployed for meeting the aspirations of the huge population of the country. Considering greater expectations of the country, CSIR has geared up itself afresh, to support Government efforts in enhancing the livelihood security of the country.

We at CSIR-4PI believe that synergy and well developed scientific collaboration is a key to progress in science and technology. CSIR-4PI is eager to develop such a collaboration with a sustained effort in a resource sharing environment. CSIR-4PI also encourages bright and young students to pursue training and research through a number of academic programmes.
To synergize the Transdisciplinary Pan-CSIR expertise and build a unified platform that embodies a rich set of big data enabling technologies and services with optimized performance to facilitate data intensive scientific discovery in the country.
To develop cutting edge data science products as a horizontal across the CSIR Themes and position as an Institute of Excellence in Bigdata and Artificial Intelligence.
CSIR Fourth paradigm Institute (CSIR-4PI) is a young and vibrant organization committed to promoting mathematical modelling and data driven research culture across CSIR and accelerate the pace of discovery in the areas of interest to CSIR. CSIR-4PI played a pivotal role in shaping up the computational research capability in CSIR and has the same potential to impact the emerging data science research to solve problems of societal and strategic importance.
Our mission is to Pioneer data driven interdisciplinary research in diverse fields through state-of-the-art data science ecosystem and impactful industrial partnerships for the betterment of Society.
Structurally CSIR-4PI is divided into two distinct scientific divisions with the scope of interdisciplinary research.
