An institute under the Department of Atomic Energy, IPR is involved in research in various aspects of plasma science including basic plasma physics, research on magnetically confined hot plasmas and plasma technologies for industrial applications. Apart from research, post doctoral fellowships and summer school programmes are also conducted at IPR. The first indigenously designed and built tokamak reactor of the country was commissioned here in 1989. Another steady state superconducting tokamak SST-1 is under fabrication. IPR is the nodal institute for India's participation.in ITER.

Established in 1989 by the Department of Science and Technology, JNCASR pursues scientific research and training in six major areas of frontier science and technology. The centre also offers a wide spectrum of training courses and has acquired the status of a “Deemed University”.

Established in 1947, NPL is one of the oldest laboratories of CSIR. The main activities of NPL include research and development, consultancy, sponsored and contract research, calibration and testing.
