Mumbai, April 2: The National Association of Radioisotopes and Radiation in Industry (NAARRI) marks its Golden Jubilee, highlighting five decades of advancing radiation applications—particularly in healthcare, where it has supported sterilisation of medical products and improved awareness of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Five decades of scientific advancement
Founded in 1976 by Dr. V. K. Iya at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, NAARRI began as a bridge between the Department of Atomic Energy and industry. Today, it has grown into a respected professional body with over 1,500 members and strong collaborations across India and the Asia-Pacific region.
Expanding applications across sectors
Beyond healthcare, NAARRI has promoted the use of radiation in agriculture, food preservation, water purification, and industrial processes, contributing to national development.
Building public trust and awareness
Equally significant has been its role in building public trust. Through sustained outreach, training, and academic engagement, NAARRI has helped dispel misconceptions about radiation and encouraged wider acceptance.
