ADVERTISEMENT NOTICE 

Professor Birbal Sahni, FRS, founded the Institute in 1946 with the vision of establishing palaeobotany as an independent scientific discipline and demonstrating its immense potential in understanding the origin, evolution and diversification of plant life, as well as addressing broader geological problems, including the exploration of fossil fuel resources. 

Over the decades, the Institute has evolved into India's premier center for multidisciplinary research in palaeosciences. The Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP) is an autonomous research institute under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. 

The Institute is dedicated to advancing fundamental and applied research on the evolution of life, Earth's changing environments, and interactions among the biosphere, geosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere through geological time. Its research spans the diversification of Precambrian life, Gondwana and Cenozoic floras, palaeobotany, palynology, palaeontology, geochronology, geochemistry, palaeoclimatology, Quaternary science, archaeobotany, dendrochronology, organic petrology, coal and lignite characterization, and ancient DNA studies. Using an integrated multi-proxy approach, BSIP reconstructs past climates, ecosystems, landscapes and environmental changes, providing insights into palaeomonsoon variability, climate change, vegetation dynamics, ecosystem evolution and the co-evolution of human societies and their environments. The Institute also contributes to understanding sedimentary basin evolution and the genesis and quality of fossil fuel resources, thereby supporting sustainable exploration and utilization of natural resources. In keeping with emerging national priorities, BSIP is expanding its research frontiers to promote the conservation of geoheritage, advance frontier research in planetary sciences, and harness artificial intelligence, machine learning and digital technologies for innovative fossil identification, digital repositories, geospatial analysis, predictive modelling and data-driven discoveries in the palaeosciences.
