About Us
From NCL to the World, United as One
CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), Pune, is a science based research, development and consulting organization and was established in 1950 as constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). NCL is internationally known for its excellence in scientific research in chemical sciences, life sciences and engineering. NCL has an outstanding track record of industrial research involving partnership with industry from concept to commercialization. While doing so, NCL has immensely contributed towards flourishing human resource development. Many of our NCL alumni (who were Scientists, Research Associates, Pool Officers, PhD students, Project Assistants), have emerged as eminent personalities in academia and industry, not only in India but also abroad.
This platform is created to bring NCL alumni together as well as to connect them to present NCL activities and scientific staff for:
- Creating repository of information about NCL alumni and present NCL scientific staff
- Strengthen interactions for betterment of science and technology
- Organize events together for mutual benefits
Ultimately, this will help in strengthening the motto of NCL: “The purpose of this laboratory is to advance knowledge and to apply chemical science for the good of the people”.
