the first industrial research organization in india was created as an industrial intelligence and research bureau, which came into operation in april 1935 under the indian stores department. with its limited budget of rs. 1.2 lakh per year, the bureau was virtually inactive. in 1939 there was a strong movement to abolish the bureau, and to replace it with a board of scientific and industrial research, similar to the british bsir. under the persuasive pressure of arcot ramaswamy mudaliar, the board of scientific and industrial research (bsir) was formed on 1 april 1940 for a period of two years. bhatnagar, as a leading scientist of the time, was appointed as the director, and mudaliar became the chairman. the bsir had an annual budget of rs. 5 lakhs, which was placed under the department of commerce. bhatnagar persuaded the government to set up an industrial research utilisation committee (iruc) in early 1941 for further investment into industrial research. mudaliar also won the demand for an establishment of industrial research fund, and that it should have an annual grant of rs 1 million for a period of five years, at the central assembly in delhi at its session on 14 november 1941. these finally led to the constitution of the council of scientific and industrial research (csir) as an autonomous body, which came into operation on 28 september 1942. the bsir and iruc became the advisory bodies to the governing body of the csir. in 1943 the governing body approved the proposal mooted by bhatnagar to establish five national laboratories — the national chemical laboratory, the national physical laboratory, the fuel research station, and the glass and ceramics research institute. this was the beginning of scientific laboratories in india.
