Development and Nurturing Young Talent SERC Fast Track
Scheme For Young Scientists (FAST) FAST track Young Scientists
programme, Initiated in the year 2000, is aimed at providing quick research support
to young scientists to purse their bright ideas in newly emerging and front line
areas of research in science and engineering. This is also to encourage S&T
institutions, professional bodies and other agencies including State S&T Councils
to develop S&T programmes involving young scientist. The Department implemented
a policy change and opened up submission of proposals under the FAST Track Scheme
for Young Scientists. Now, Young Scientists can submit proposals anytime of the
year, subject to eligibility. Under this scheme, the upper
limit for duration of the project is 3 years with total cost limited to Rs.17.00
lakhs(excluding Overheads). The Young Scientist not drawing any fellowship/salary
are eligible for a lump sum fellowship of Rs. 20,000 per month apart from grants
under travel, contingency, consumables and minor equipments. The institute that
hosts the project on approval gets a grant of 20% of project cost as overheads. So
far, 600 young scientists have been awarded Fast Track Projects in various disciplines
of Science and Engineering. For Guideline / Format

Better Opportunities
for Young Scientists in Chosen Areas of Science and Technology (BOYSCAST)
The scheme provides opportunities to Young Indian Scientists and
Technologies (up to the age of 35 years), to interact with international scientist
community and institutions and to participate in research and training activities
in frontline areas of science and technology. The duration of the Fellowship is
3-12 months. Annually, on an average, about 40 young scientists are awarded this
fellowship in various areas, such as plant-microbe interactions; plant genetic
resources; agricultural ecology; biodiversity and conservation biology; transplant
biology; industrial microbiology; semiconductor physics; mathematical science;
electronic material and processing; earth and atmospheric science; palaeoclimatology;
organometallics; supramolecular chemistry; manufacturing engineering; computer
and information science, earthquake engineering and structural dynamics. The selected
young scientist are also encouraged to attend scientific conferences and visit
other institutions in the host country. Candidates selected under this scheme
are expected to further generate and spread their expertise at the S&T laboratories/
Institutes across the nation. Click
