      <Description>The Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG) today is a leading
   institute of the country actively engaged in basic and applied research in
   Geomagnetism and allied areas of Geophysics, Atmospheric, and Space Physics and
   Plasma Physics. It started out as a successor to the Colaba Magnetic
   Observatory, set up in 1826, where the first regular magnetic observatory
   in the country was established in 1841.

      IIG became an autonomous research institute in 1971, and is now under the
   Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.</Description>
