'The objects of the CSIR are,
through directed and
particularly multidisciplinary
research and technological
innovation, to foster, in the
national interest and in the fields
which in its opinion should
receive preference, industrial
and scientific development,
either by itself or in co-operation
with principals from private or
public sectors, and thereby to
contribute to the improvement
of the quality of life of the
people of the Republic...’
