Awards

ISCA initiated giving awards to eminent Indian Scientists starting from 1965. This gives opportunities to the Association to honour scientists of repute. Until 1988 all the awards were funded by voluntary benevolent donations. From 1988 onwards, ISCA instituted some awards from its own fund.
