The Post-Doctoral Fellowship (PDF) programme of the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE) aims to support Ph.D. holders in Science and Engineering with a strong research background. This initiative is designed to promote advanced research and foster the development of young scientists in their early career.

KSCSTE – National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (NATPAC) was established by the Government of Kerala in 1976 to develop solutions to the traffic and transportation problems faced by the State. Owing to the contributions and achievements made by the institute, NATPAC was reconstituted as an autonomous R&D Centre under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Kerala. In November 2002, NATPAC was amalgamated with Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE), an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Kerala, which was formed with the objective of adopting an integrated approach to the research and development activities in Kerala.

The Kerala Forest Research Institute (KFRI) is a multidisciplinary centre of excellence dedicated to research in tropical forests and forestry. Established in 1975, KFRI has now entered its 50th year of service. This remarkable jubilee milestone marks five decades of pioneering contributions to tropical forestry and biodiversity conservation. As we celebrate this golden jubilee, KFRI reaffirms its vision to be a Centre of Excellence in Tropical Forestry, offering scientific support for informed decision-making in conservation, sustainable utilisation, and the scientific management of natural resources.
