==History==
The Indian [[Department of Atomic Energy]] (DAE) was set up in 1954 and its mandate includes research including fundamental research in matters connected with atomic energy and the development of its uses in power generation, research, agriculture, industry and health care and advancement of higher mathematics. In pursuit of its mandate DAE has established several research and development centres, grant-in-aid institutions and has taken in its fold several existing grant-in-aid institutions. All research institutions under the umbrella of the DAE have been pursuing academic programme right from their inception. Considering continued expansion of atomic energy programme and considering the fact that the DAE institutions are engaged in human resource development programmes, the DAE Science Research Council recommended in 2003 that the DAE should establish a university level institution. After completing all formalities, Prime minister of India, [[Manmohan Singh]], announced<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.barc.gov.in/publications/nl/2005/200506.pdf |title=Dr Manmohan Singh announced the approval|publisher=BARC|access-date = 2005-06-04 }}</ref> the approval of the government of India for setting up of HBNI on 4 June 2005. It is named after the late Indian physicist [[Homi J. Bhabha]]. The HRD Ministry of the [[government of India]] declared Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI) a deemed to be University along with ten Constituent Institutions (CIs).
