The Department of Chemical Engineering, as an integral part of the Indian Institute of Science, is funded well by the Government of India for the salaries of its employees and students, and for conducting its core academic and scientific activities. In addition, our faculty receive competitive research grants for conducting our research from a variety of agencies.
The support from alumni, well-wishers, and philanthropists brings manifold benefits to our department. Financial contributions can expedite the funding of initiatives that might otherwise face prolonged delays. They can enable our students to attend conferences, thereby enriching their academic experience. Such support can also facilitate the invitation of distinguished researchers from other institutions to collaborate and share their expertise with us. Additionally, these contributions can significantly enhance our department’s infrastructure. Your generosity is pivotal in fostering the growth of our department and its students, propelling us towards our goal of establishing the Chemical Engineering department at IISc as one of the world’s finest. Whether your gifts are designated for specific purposes or for the overall advancement of the department, they are invaluable to our mission.
