The Nobel Prize is a great news for scientists working on atmospheric neutrinos. The INO is proud to take this work forward, to enhance our understanding of neutrino mixing, and to realize the INO's potential for uncovering another facet of their nature: the mass ordering. It is a indeed a great opportunity for Indian science, to rise and meet the challenges. We expect support from everyone.
