Indian Institute of Science will soon be 100 and enter its second century. Its founders wanted it to be the John Hopkins of India.There are three commitments of IISc. The first is to carry out research in frontier areas of science (includes technology) in the pursuit of excellence. The second is to help the country find solutions to its problems through the application of science and technology. The third is to provide human resource of the best kind to the nation through imparting training at the highest level, in various branches of science. The vision of big science is embedded in the first two. IIS's vision of big science can help the country in tackling its well-nigh insatiable energy needs.
