The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) was designed as a "Research Institute" or "research university" by Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, in the twilight of the 19th century. A long period of nearly thirteen years must elapse from the initial design in 1896 with the birth of the Institute on May 27, 1909. The early history of the Institute is a fascinating chapter in the history of higher education and scientific research in India. The cast of characters in the drama that led to the creation of the Institute includes, in addition to its charismatic founder and generous JN Tata, figures from the pages of Indian history. It is Swami Vivekananda, JN Tata who befriends on his famous voyage to the United States, the Maharaja of Mysore, Shri Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV and his mother, then acting on its behalf, and Lord Curzon the Viceroy of India, whose first task upon arrival on 31 December 1898 was to receive a project proposal prepared by the interim committee established to plan the creation of the Institute.
The plane was flown through many difficult years by Burjorji Padshah, a close associate of JN Tata. Unfortunately, JN Tata died in 1904 without knowing that his vision would indeed made some years later. When the British government has finally issued the order for devolution in 1909, an unparalleled experience in higher education and research has been launched in India.
