Nuclear Security Programme (NSP)

Since its inception, the Institute has been working on various issues relating to WMD security, including nuclear, chemical, biological and radiological weapons. The Institute has been also consistently working on bilateral and trilateral nuclear issues between India, Pakistan and China, besides global nuclear disarmament. The Nuclear Security Programme (NSP) within the IPCS is the oldest. The NSP, besides research, publications and discussion also holds regular track-II dialogues between India, Pakistan and China and also engages with numerous think tanks and research institutes in the US and Europe and various nuclear security issues.

The Proceedings of these discussions have been mostly published as conference/seminar and widely disseminated.
