Recently there was quite a lot of buzz in the media about the launch of DRDO Young Scientists Lab (DYSL). 5 such labs have been formed by DRDO each headed by a young director under the age of 35! Each lab has its own specialized focus area from among fields such as AI, Quantum Computing, Cognitive Technologies, Asymmetric Technologies and Smart Materials.
When trying to look for specifics on what these labs are doing, particularly the AI lab, there is very little to go by for now. While a lot of information about the vintage DRDO Centre of AI and Robotics (CAIR) lab is available on the DRDO website, there's practically nothing there regarding the newly formed DRDO Young Scientists Lab on AI (DYSL-AI). Neither are the details available anywhere else in the public domain, till end-Feb 2020 atleast. While these would certainly get updated soon for now there are just these interviews with the directors of the DYSL labs:
- Doordarshan's Y-Factor Interview with the 5 DYSL Directors Mr. Parvathaneni Shiva Prasad, Mr. Manish Pratap Singh, Mr. Ramakrishnan Raghavan, Mr. Santu Sardar, Mr. Sunny Manchanda
- Rajya Sabha TV Interview with DYSL-AI Director Mr. Sunny Manchanda
