Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR)

We are located at Anusandhan Bhavan on 2 Rafi Marg. This is an older building with a lot of history to it. You can feel that when you walk through the hallways. It’s not like those new glass buildings you see popping up everywhere. This place has heavy doors and high ceilings. We’ve got a lot of offices tucked away on different floors. Most of the rooms are filled with old wooden desks and cabinets overflowing with research papers and files. It’s a very quiet place for the most part, except for the sound of people typing or the occasional murmur of a meeting down the hall. Being on Rafi Marg means we are right in the middle of things, but once you step inside, it feels far away from the city noise. We spend our days going through data and coordinating different projects. There isn’t much in the way of decoration, just a lot of practical stuff needed for scientific work. The windows are large but they could probably use a good cleaning every now and then. We don't mind much because we're usually focused on whatever study is currently on our desks. It’s a serious kind of place, but the people here are friendly enough if you bump into them in the canteen. We just keep moving forward with our daily tasks. It's been our home for a very long time.
