The Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) is an institution of basic research and training in physical and biophysical sciences located in Bidhannagar, Kolkata, India. The institute is named after the famous Indian physicist Meghnad Saha. This institute is well known to have many amazing equipments related to physics including a Van De Graff’s generator. The Institute grew out of the Palit Research Laboratory in Physics of the University of Calcutta. After Professor Meghnad Saha returned from Allahabad in 1938 to succeed Sir C. V. Raman in the Palit Chair of Physics, he reorganized the post graduate physics curriculum of University of Calcutta to include nuclear physics by 1940 after realising immense potential of the subject for betterment of the country. Soon the necessity of a small-scale cyclotron was felt for gaining a first-hand knowledge in this virgin field which was procured from the fund raised by the help of Jawaharlal Nehru and patronage of J. R. D. Tata.
