One hundred years of fundamental physics starting with the understanding of the atom, the atomic nucleus and what lies inside have culminated in a theory known as the standard model of high energy physics (SM of HEP). This theory has now been proved to be the correct law of Nature valid down to a length scale of 10-17 cm, nine orders of magnitude smaller than the atomic size, i.e. 10-8 cm. In this theory, the three fundamental forces of Nature, namely electromagnetic, weak and strong forces are incorporated in the dynamics of Yang-Mills gauge field which is a generalization of Maxwell's electrodynamics. So this theory is the fundamental basis of all phenomena resulting from these three forces. SM is a quantum field theory that combines quantum mechanics and special relativity in a mathematically consistent way.Full Text

A Physics Training and Talent Search (PTTS) programme for final year B Sc students from all over India was held last year. The aim was to identify college students who are motivated to study physics, train them and nurture their academic growth. The relationship with the students, we hope, will continue on a long-term basis so that we help in fulfiling their aspirations. We hope to create a stream of talented students opting for research in universities and institutes, while those who become teachers turn out to be of high standards. Furthermore, by developing and sharing better techniques for teaching physics, we hope to enhance the quality of physics education in theory and experiments across India.Full Text
