- The Government of India has approved a project to build the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) at Pottipuram in Theni District of Tamil Nadu.
- The project aims to set up a 51000-ton Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector.
- It will observe naturally occurring atmospheric neutrinos in a cavern at the end of a 2 km long tunnel in a mountain.
- It is built as an underground observatory to reduce the noise from cosmic rays that is ever present over-ground.
- There is no other neutrino detector anywhere in India at present.
- INO would be the first of its type.
