Centre for Liquid Crystal Research CLCR
The Centre for Liquid Crystal Research (CLCR) was accepted over in 1995 by the Govt. of India and became an autonomous institution under the administrative control of the Department of Information Technology. Traditionally the stress in the subject was on thermo tropic liquid crystals in which physics, chemistry and engineering each played a major role.
DST has been furnishing core affirm to the Centre in the form of a grant-in-aid for conducting basic and applied research in liquid crystals and associated fields.
The Centre made a abase beginning with ad-hoc grants from the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, in the form of project grants of SERC and a small allow given by the Raman Research Institute Trust.The Centre for Liquid Crystal Research (CLCR) is an independent research institute of the Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India.
CLCR then moved to its present location with the land and building provided by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Bangalore. The Centre for Liquid Crystal Research (CLCR) is an autonomous research institute of the Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India.
