CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) is the largest civil research organization in India, and SOMAC (the Society of Management Science and Applied Cybernetics) is the first cybernetics society in India. How cybernetics and systems (C and S) have been applied by these two organizations for the last 25 years forms the theme of this paper.
