The Young Scientist Awards are supported partly by Saraswathy Srinivasan Trust and partly by Dr. M. Anandakrishnan Endowment Fund. The award in each discipline will carry a cash prize of 20,000/- with a certificate of merit.

The purpose of the award is to spot out young talents and so only those who have shown innovative thinking and originality alone need apply or be nominated. A brief account of the original work done along with the publications and citation by others will be helpful to the selection committee.

Those young scientists who have already submitted their applications/nominations in the previous years will also be considered along with the fresh applications received this year, provided they are within the prescribed age limit of 40 years. They need only send their updated resume.
