'''Indian Institute of Science (IISc)''' is a [[public university]] for [[Research#Scientific research|scientific research]]. It is located in [[Bangalore]], [[India]]. [[Jamshetji Tata]] gave active support to establish this [[Institution|institute]]. He is one of the earliest [[wikt:industrialist|industrialists]] of India. IISc is well known as India's finest research [[university]].<ref>Ramachandra Guha, ''India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy'' (London: Pan Books; Macmillan Distribution (MDL), 2008), p. 697</ref>

==History==
In 1893, [[Jamshetji Tata]] had a chance meeting with [[Swami Vivekananda]] on a ship from [[Japan]] to [[Chicago]]. Then, Jamshetji Tata discussed his plan with Vivekananda to bring [[Iron]] and [[Steel]] [[industry]] to India. Five years later, Tata wrote a letter to Vivekananda about his desire to establish a research institution. He also asked Vivekananda for guidance in this matter. Vivekananda softly declined this proposal.

The [[government]] of [[Mysore]] donated (371 acres or 1.50 sq km) to build the institute.<ref name=Wright206>''Southern India: Its History, People, Commerce, and Industrial Resources'', ed. Arnold Wright (New Delhi: Asian Educational Services, 2004), p. 206</ref> They also agreed to [[Donation|donate]] 50,000 [[rupee]]s every year.<ref name=Wright206/> The institute was established in 1909.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iisc.ernet.in/about-iisc/generalinformation.php |title=About Us |author= |date= |work= |publisher=Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India |accessdate= }}</ref> It had two departments - Department of General and Applied Chemistry and Electro Technology. [[Morris Travers]] became the first director of IISc.

==Campus==
IISc [[campus]] is in [[Malleswaram]], {{convert|4|km}} north of [[Bangalore City railway station]]. A number of other research institutes are nearby. These are [[Raman Research Institute]], [[Central Power Research Institute]] and the [[Institute of Wood Science and Technology]]. There are regular [[Bus|bus services]] between them and IISc.

The campus is home to over 40 [[Academic department|departments]] and centers of sciences.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mhrd.gov.in/technical-education-0 |title=Indian Institute Of Science (IISc), Bangalore |author= |date=20 January 2015 |website= |publisher=Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India |accessdate=20 January 2015 }}</ref> It has more than 3,000 [[student]]s who are pursuing their [[Undergraduate education|undergraduate]] and [[Postgraduate education|postgraduate]] studies.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.energy.gov/ia/articles/deputy-secretary-poneman-attends-us-india-strategic-dialogue |title=Deputy Secretary Poneman Attends U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue |author= |date=27 August 2014 |website= |publisher=U.S. Department of Energy |accessdate=20 January 2015}}</ref> The facilities on the campus include a [[library]],[[wikt:gymnasium|gymnasium]], [[Cafeteria|dining halls]] and [[restaurant]]s. There are [[Dormitory|dormitories]] for men and women and [[wikt:accommodation|accommodation]] for staff members. A [[visitor]]'s [[hostel]] was built in 1990.<ref>Jon T. Lang, ''A Concise History of Modern Architecture in India'' (New Delhi: Permanent Black: Distributed by Orient Longman Ltd., 2002), p. 109</ref> The campus is full of greenery. It has over 110 species of trees and rare and native plant species. The roads connecting the departments are named after [[species]] of [[tree]]s. For [[example]] ''Arjun Marg'' (''Marg'' means path in [[Hindi]]), ''Tala Marg'' and Silver Oak Marg.
