Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) is one of the premier research Institute in India established in 1950. The Radiochemistry research at SINP started from the inception of the Institute. Currently the radiochemistry research at SINP has been proliferated into diversity. Many ‘first’ was reported by us in last few years. We have developed for the first time heavy ion (7Li, 12C, 16O, etc) induced production and separation methods for no-carrier-added proton rich radiolanthanides. For the first time radioactive nano-material was synthesized by us. We have started exhaustively Green Chemistry research with accelerator produced radionuclides. Moreover, we have strong international collaboration with various reputed laboratories, like GSI, Germany; Technical University, Munich, Germany; Institute of Modern Physics, China; ATOMIKI, Hungary, etc. In the seminar I shall give an overview of our research areas in last five/six years, which may direct to a new collaboration with CERN-ISOLDE programme.
