  1. Technology and Knowledge Management in and by the Department of Atomic Energy, India R B Grover Mumbai, India

  2. Attributes of Nuclear Technology • Nuclear technology is knowledge intensive. • Needs well trained human resource and strong industrial infrastructure for its exploitation. • Needs synergistic pursuit of basic research and technology development.

  3. Development in India • Tata Institute of Fundamental Research – December 1945. • Department of Atomic Energy – August 1954. • Research Centres, Industrial Units, Public Sector Units, Autonomous Research Institutes, Agencies for Extra-mural Funding.

  4. ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION DAE Science Research Council ATOMIC ENERGY REGULATORY BOARD DEPARTMENT OF ATOMIC ENERGY R&D ORGANISATIONS --------------------------------- Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam Centre for Advanced Technology, Indore Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration & Research, Hyderabad PUBLIC SECTOR UNDERTAKINGS Nuclear Power Corp. of India Ltd., Mumbai Uranium Corp. of India Ltd., Jaduguda Indian Rare Earths Ltd., Mumbai Electronics Corp. of India Ltd., Hyderabad Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Ltd., Kalpakkam INDUSTRIAL ORGANISATIONS ------------------------- Heavy Water Board, Mumbai Nuclear Fuel Complex, Hyderabad Board of Radiation & Isotope Technology, Mumbai SERVICE & SUPPORT ORGANISATIONS ------------------------- Directorate of Purchase & Stores, Mumbai Directorate of Construction, Services & Estate Management Group, Mumbai General Services Organisation, Kalpakkam Atomic Energy Education Society, Mumbai Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences, National Board of Higher Mathematics FULLY AIDED INSTITUTIONS Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata Institute of Physics, Bhubaneshwar Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai Institute for Plasma Research, Ahmedabad

  5. Recipe for Success • Organic linkage between industrial units and research centres. • Innovative technology management & transfer approach. • Integrated human resource development programme. • Composite nature of the institutions

  6. Human resource development • Training School – 1957 • Link between the user and the training programme - course content and numbers. • Hire and train approach. • Practising professionals as adjunct faculty - tacit & explicit knowledge • Over 6000 have graduated so far.

  7. Disciplines • Chemical, computer, electrical, electronics, metallurgy and mechanical engineering. • Physics, chemistry and biology. • Radiation protection and environment sciences.

  8. BARC CAT NFC NPCIL DGFS 120 20 25 150 50 Schools, programmes and intake

  9. DGFS - objectives • Human resource development • Projects under the guidance of two advisers, one from DAE and one from IIT • Resource persons for carrying out research in areas of interest to atomic energy

  10. Some details • Apex committee for policy formulation. • Common admission procedure – GATE or our own written test. • 450 lecture hours, lab work, assignments, visits to facilities. • Written test and viva voce. • Frequent revision of syllabus.

  11. Doctoral programmes • At autonomous research institutions. • At research centres – two models, - Off-campus programmes, - Research centres as institutes recognized for research leading to degrees by universities and scientists recognized as teachers. • Special programmes – Mumbai, Pune, Indore, research scholars funded by other agencies.

  12. Extra-mural Funding • Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences. • National Board for Higher Mathematics.

  13. Technology Management • In-house technology transfer • In-house technology deployment • Development of indigenous vendors • Technology transfer to outside agencies • Technology diffusion

  14. Basic Concepts • Composite character of the institutions • Setting up of linkage at the development stage • Transfer of personnel to transfer technology • Adjunct positions • Hand holding for implementation of the technology by the licensee • Linkages with other agencies

  15. Concluding remarks • Vibrant university system. • Parallel mechanisms in place to attract best available talent. • ‘Hire & train’ – no gap in demand and supply. • Strengthening the industry is more important than earning technology transfer fee

  16. Thank You
