Abstract
IN pursuance of the recognition of the need for the organisation of scientific and technical research on an extensive scale for the larger objective of economic and industrial development of the country, it has been proposed to establish a National Chemical Laboratory in India. A tentative scheme for the Laboratory was drawn up in 1943 and circulated to a large number of scientific organisations and individuals in India and abroad. A final plan has now been formulated after a careful consideration of the suggestions received, the lines along which similar laboratories in other countries have been established, and taking into consideration also the special needs of India. This plan, therefore, incorporates the views and recommendations of a large number of leading men of science and scientific organisations all over the world.
