Bhabha Atomic Research Centre was created in 1954.
1954 after the name of Homi J. Bhabha
The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) is situated in Trombay, Mumbai, India. It is India's premier nuclear research facility and is involved in various nuclear and atomic research activities.
It is Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC)
Dr. Homi Bhabha was a prominent Indian nuclear physicist known for his pioneering work in the field of nuclear physics. His scientific contributions include research on cosmic rays, nuclear reactions, and the development of the nuclear program in India. Bhabha also played a crucial role in establishing scientific research institutions such as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and the Atomic Energy Commission.
Homi J. Bhabha is considered the father of the Indian nuclear program. He played a significant role in establishing the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Mumbai which became the cornerstone for nuclear research in India. Bhabha is also credited with setting up the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay (AEET), which later became the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).
Homi J. Bhabha was an Indian nuclear physicist and is known as the "father of the Indian nuclear program." He played a key role in the establishment of India's first nuclear research facility, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, and the Atomic Energy Commission of India, which spearheaded the development of nuclear power plants in the country.
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has a division in Hyderabad. It is called National Centre for Compositional Characterisation of Materials (CCCM). It carries out R&D in the areas of Physics, Chemistry and also provides analytical services to the Industries. CCCM also provides opportunities to carry out doctoral (Ph.D.) work and student projects.
There are numerous Atomic Research Centers around the world.

In 1935, Indian nuclear physicist Homi J. Bhabha published a paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Series A, in which he performed the first calculation to determine the cross section of electron-positron scattering.Electron-positron scattering was later named Bhabha scattering, in honor of his contributions in the field.
