The Darjeeling campus of Bose Institute, comprising the Mayapuri and Haimavati
buildings and the adjoining land, enjoys a special place in the history of Bose
Institute. The premises were built with great love and care by the founder,
Acharya J.C. Bose himself in 1920, with aesthetic advice from Rabindra Nath
Tagore, Nandalal Bose and many others. It had played host to many illustrious
personalities over the years and was also the seat of many fundamental scientific
works by J. C. Bose, D. M. Bose and their students. It commands great respect
among the residents of the area. The historical importance apart, the site also
provides unique research opportunities in the realm of high altitude science,
identified to be a very important endeavour. Bose Institute has recently drawn
up a detailed programme of intensive research, in collaboration with several
other national institutions, in the area of Astroparticle Physics & Space Science,
which will be centred at the Darjeeling site. The Department of Science & Technology,
Government of India has sanctioned the formation of a National Facility for such
work at the Darjeeling campus of Bose Institute under its IRHPA (Intensification
of Research in High Priority Area) scheme.
