✦ Synopsis

The number of laboratories in India equipped with a liquid helium facility has steadily increased to about twelve, and more liquifiers are expected to be installed in the near future. In this article the cryogenic research works being carried out at various institutions are reviewed. Although the output of the work is rather nominal, one expects a reasonable growth in the near future in both developmental and fundamental work. The slow rate of progress may be attributed to the non-existence of any cryogenic industry, which is very much needed to assist the cryogenic personnel engaged in this field of research.
