Many important discoveries have been made in the field
of neutrinos in the last 20 years and more are expected.
The story of the discovery of neutrino mass through neutrino
oscillations will be described. Experiments on solar neutrinos and
atmospheric neutrinos which made this discovery were awarded Nobel Prize in 2002 and 2015. A mega project called India-based Neutrino Observatory(INO) is planned to come up in Tamil Nadu. The project and its present status will be described.
