Mathematical Sciences Office (MSO)

Mathematical Sciences Office (MSO) was created in the year 1994 as a separate unit in DST not only to promote R&D in all areas of mathematical sciences (Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research and Theoretical Computer Science) but also to follow up recommendations of the National Committee on Mathematics Education, Research and Training (under the Chairmanship of Late Prof. P.K Bose), National Committee on Mathematical Sciences (under the Chairmanship of Late Prof. J.N Kapur) and the Central Planning Commission's Task Group on Mathematical Sciences (1996). Ever since, the MSO has been functioning very actively and has been responsible to support R&D projects in specially identified thrust areas www.serc-dst.org as also promote new initiatives such as establishment of the National Centre for Advanced Research in Discrete Mathematics (CARDMATH) , setup "DST Srinivasa Ramanujan National Chairs in Mathematical Science", mathematical modelling in behavioural /cognitive / social sciences etc. Broad objectives of the programme include the following :

• Specialized manpower training in general R&D
• Group Discussion on specialized research topics
• Advanced Training to talented students in College/ Universities / Research Institutions
• Interaction meets between mathematicians and prospective users
• Exhibitions and other awareness programmes in mathematical sciences
