Awards for Young Scientists

To encourage young scientists, ‘Buti Young Scientist Award’ has been instituted. The award consists of a CITATION and a CASH AMOUNT of RS.5000. On behalf of Buti Foundation, Plasma Science Society of India (PSSI) at its Annual National Conference will present this award to the selected young researcher for the best presentation.

The first award was given at PLASMA 2004 (PSSI Conference) held at Bundelkhand University at Jhansi in December 2004. Looking at the great enthusiasm of the young participants for competing for this award, President, Buti Foundation had decided to have two such awards from 2005 onwards. One award will be exclusively for scientists from Universities and Colleges and the second one will be open to all young scientists. This had been done keeping in mind that the scientists at Universities and Colleges do not have facilities comparable to the ones at Research Institutes. However there will be no compromise on the quality of the presentation. In case, the presentations are not to the mark, no award will be given that year.
