The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is an effort
aimed at building a world-class underground laboratory to study
fundamental issues in physics. The primary goal of the laboratory
is the study of neutrinos from various natural and laboratory sources.
It is envisaged that such an underground facility will develop into a
centre for other studies as well, in physics, biology, geology, etc.,
all of which will make use of the special conditions that exist deep
underground. Apart from the scientific goals of INO, the
laboratory itself will greatly enhance the development of detector
technology and its varied applications.
