The Udaipur Solar Observatory (USO) was founded in 1975 and has since been a leading centre for Solar Physics in the country. As part of the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) Ahmedabad, USO has undergone significant transformation over the last 40 years by establishing itself as a world-class research facility. The Foundation Day of USO commemorates the rich history and growth of the Observatory. We have organized a set of special lectures by outstanding scientists to mark the solemnity of the occasion. We cordially invite everyone to be a part of USO’s Foundation Day.
