Annual General Meeting of INSA
The Indian National Science Academy (INSA) was originally established in 1935 and was known as the 'National Institute of Sciences of India' until the present name was adopted in 1970. The Government of India recognized it in 1945 as the premier scientific society representing all branches of science in India.
The objectives of the academy encompass promotion of science in India including its application to national welfare, safeguarding the interests of the scientists, establishing linkages with international bodies to foster collaboration and expressing considered opinion on national issues. It plays a role in promoting, recognizing and rewarding excellence in scientific research.
