Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose, the doyen of modern science in India, if not all of Asia, left a large number of scientific legacies for posterity, the most important among which is Bose Institute. Founded in 1917, Bose Institute is the oldest institution in India, dedicated to full-time scientific research in all aspects of natural sciences. Throughout the 90 years of its existence, Bose Institute has endeavoured to uphold and take further ahead the objectives as laid down by the founder himself. In its illustrious history, this year, 2008, constitutes a watershed event, when we are celebrating the 150th Birth Anniversary of our beloved founder. This is the time to re-evaluate the legacies of Sir Jagadis Chandra, better and more aptly known as Acharya Jagadis Chandra in India, so that they can serve as a beacon of hope for the present and future generations of scientists and students.
