The Academy published Mathematics and related research articles initially in the Proceedings of INSA, but considering the large increase in the influx of mathematical articles, need to bring out a separate journal in this field was felt, as a result of which the Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IJPAM) came into being in January 1970. The Journal was quarterly in the beginning but had to be later changed over to a bi-monthly one. As the publishing of the Journal could not be kept abreast with the tremendous growth in the number of articles, its periodicity had to be revised further by changing it to a monthly publication from 1973. At a later stage in the recent years the procedure of the refereeing was reviewed introducing double refereeing process in order to further improve the quality of the Journal. The frequency of the Journal was changed to a bi-monthly from the year 2006. The IJPAM publishes carefully selected papers dealing with original research in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Statistics and related Mathematical Sciences such as Operations Research, Game Theory, Mathematical Economics, Computer Science, Stochastic Modelling, Numerical Analysis, Pattern Recognition, Mathematical Systems etc. involving new developments and/or applications of Mathematics or Statistics. A paper will be considered for publication in the journal if it is not submitted for publication elsewhere and includes results which are new, nontrivial and significant. Further, it must be well written and of interest to a wide section of mathematicians or statisticians. Piecemeal results such as an inconclusive step toward an unproved result or a minor variation on a known result are in general not acceptable for publication. Formal novelty and mathematical correctness alone are not sufficient for publication. Editors might invite papers on specials topic which are currently of interest. However, all papers will be refereed whether invited or contributed.
The Journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index; Current Contents (Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences); Mathematical Reviews; INSPEC Science Abstracts (Part A), Zentralblatt fiir Mathematik as well as other major international abstracting services.
The authors are encouraged to contribute and prepare their manuscript as per INSA guidelines. The size of the Journal has been changed to Demi Quarto A4 International since January 1998. | | .

Towards the end of 1930, the then Government of India wrote to various state (then provincial) Governments, Scientific Departments, Learned Societies, Universities and the Indian Science Congress Association seeking their opinion on the desirability of forming a National Research Council which would adhere to and cooperate with the International Research Council and its affiliated Unions. This period witnessed the visit of Sir Richard Gregor, the Editor of Nature for discussions with the Editor of Current Science for the promotion of an Indian Academy of Sciences. The proposal was considered by various eminent scientists whose views regarding the composition and functioning of such a National Council were put up in the form of a resolution to the ISCA during its Pune Session. A special meeting of ISCA was held in Mumbai in January 1934 to consider the scheme. In response to the plea made by the President of the ISCA, Professor M N Saha in support of an Indian Academy of Sciences on the model of the Royal Society, London, the General Committee of the ISCA unanimously accepted the proposal for the formation of a national scientific society. The Committee formed an 'Academy Committee', which was requested to submit a detailed report for consideration at the next session of the ISCA.
The Committee submitted the report in January 1935 incorporating (i) the aims and objects of the national scientific society to be formed; (ii) draft constitution; (iii) names of 125 Foundation Fellows selected by a special committee of specialists; and (iv) names of 25 scientists as members of the provisional Council of Academy. The report of the Academy Committee was placed by Dr LL Fermor (President, 22nd Session, ISCA) before the special meeting of the Joint Committee on January 3, 1935. The recommendation of the Academy Committee was accepted by unanimous resolution by the ISCA and the foundation of the National Institute of Sciences of India as an All India body of scientists was thus laid. An inaugural meeting of the National Institute of Sciences of India (NISI) was held on January 7, 1935 under the Chairmanship of Dr J H Hutton (President, 23rd Session, ISCA) in Calcutta, and the inaugural address was delivered by the first President of NISI, Dr LL Fermor. The Institute thus , started functioning with its headquarters at the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1 Park Street, Calcutta, from that day.
The issue of the Government recognizing the NISI as the representative body of the scientists was taken up after ten years of its foundation. After due deliberations and discussions, it decided to recognize the national institute as the premier scientific society representing all branches of science in India in October 1945. The Headquarters of the National Institute moved to Delhi in May 1946 and the Government commenced providing increased grants to meet expenses on travel, publications, research fellowships, and for allocating grants-in-aid to other scientific societies for bringing out their publications. A capital grant for the Headquarters building was also sanctioned in 1948 by the Government. The foundation stone of the building was laid by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India, on April 19, 1948. The office of the NISI moved to its present premises on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi in 1951. It was designated as the adhering organization in India to the International Council for Science (ICSU) on behalf of the Government of India in January 1968.
The name of the National Institute of Sciences of India was changed to the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) in February 1970.
The main objectives of the Indian National Science Academy are: |
|
|
* |
Promotion of scientific knowledge in India including its practical application to problems of national welfare. |
|
* |
Coordination among Scientific Academies, Societies, Institutions, Government Scientific Departments and Services. |
|
* |
To act as a body of scientists of eminence for the promotion and safeguarding of the interests of scientists in India and to present internationally the scientific work done in the country. |
|
* |
To act through properly constituted National Committees, in which other learned academies and societies may be associated, for undertaking scientific work of national and international importance which the Academy may be called upon to perform by the public and by the Government. |
|
* |
To publish such proceedings, journals, memoirs and other publications as may be found desirable. |
|
* |
To promote and maintain liaison between Science and Humanities. |
|
* |
To secure and manage funds and endowments for the promotion of Science. |
| * |
To perform all other acts that may assist in, or be necessary for the fulfillment of the above mentioned objectives of the Academy. | |
