About NACS

The National Association for Chemical Security (NACS), India, was founded in 2021. The idea to form a National Association was first mooted in 2018 and it was realized in 2021 by registration of NACS.

The founder members are associated with Indo-US Workshops on Chemical Security of Dual-use Chemicals supported by PNNL and CSP, State Department of USA, in India since 2016. Workshops became regular (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022) and were hosted by CSIR Labs and Universities in India. Since the workshops have been an annual event, it was proposed to establish an Association at the National level in India, so that the propagation of awareness on Chemical Security in India can be undertaken effectively and interactions can be held both with the Academic and Industrial practitioners.

In addition, NACS proposed to develop a suitable CURRICULUM for graduate and undergraduate levels to bring awareness in the student community at the College/University levels and propagate the knowledge amongst future researchers, academicians, and entrepreneurs.
