In 1937, [[Rabindranath Tagore]] dedicated his only book on science, ''Visva–Parichay'', to Satyendra Nath Bose. Bose was honoured with the title [[Padma Vibhushan]] by the Indian Government in 1954. In 1959, he was appointed as the National Professor, the highest honour in the country for a scholar, a position he held for 15 years. In 1986, the [[S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences]] was established by an act of Parliament, Government of India, in Salt Lake, Calcutta.{{sfn| Wali| 2009 | pp = xxxiv, xxxviii}}<ref>{{Citation | url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120103/jsp/opinion/story_14952697.jsp | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140225060556/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120103/jsp/opinion/story_14952697.jsp | url-status = dead | archive-date = 25 February 2014 | title = Original vision | first = Partha | last = Ghose | date = 3 January 2012 | newspaper = The Telegraph | place = [[India|IN]] |type=Opinion}}.</ref>

Bose became an adviser to the then newly formed [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research]]. He was the president of the [[Indian Physical Society]] and the National Institute of Science. He was elected general president of the [[Indian Science Congress]]. He was the vice president and then the president of [[Indian Statistical Institute]]. In 1958, he became a [[Fellow of the Royal Society]].  He was nominated as [[Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha|member of]] [[Rajya Sabha]].

{{Blockquote | Bose's work stood at the transition between the '[[old quantum theory]]' of Planck, Bohr and Einstein and the new quantum mechanics of [[Erwin Schrödinger|Schrödinger]], [[Werner Heisenberg|Heisenberg]], [[Max Born|Born]], [[Paul Dirac|Dirac]] and others.}}

===Nobel Prize nomination===

Bose was nominated by [[Kedareswar Banerjee|K. Banerjee]] (1956), [[Daulat Singh Kothari|D.S. Kothari]] (1959), S.N. Bagchi (1962), and A.K. Dutta (1962) for the Nobel Prize in Physics, for his contribution to [[Bose–Einstein statistics]] and the [[unified field theory]]. Banerjee, head of the Physics Department, [[University of Allahabad]], in a letter of 12 January 1956 wrote to the [[Nobel Committee]] as follows: "(1). He (Bose) made very outstanding contributions to physics by developing the statistics known after his name as Bose statistics. In recent years this statistics is found to be of profound importance in the classifications of [[fundamental particles]] and has contributed immensely to the development of [[nuclear physics]]. (2). During the period from 1953 to date, he has made a number of highly interesting contributions of far-reaching consequences on the subject of Einstein's [[Unified field theory|Unitary Field Theory]]." Bose's work was evaluated by an expert of the Nobel Committee, [[Oskar Klein]], who deemed his work not worthy of a Nobel Prize.<ref>Singh, Rajinder (2016) ''India's Nobel Prize Nominators and Nominees – The Praxis of Nomination and Geographical Distribution'', Shaker Publisher, Aachen, pp. 26–27. {{ISBN|978-3-8440-4315-0}}</ref><ref>Singh, Rajinder (2016) ''Die Nobelpreise und die indische Elite'', Shaker Verlag, Aachen, pp. 24–25. {{ISBN|978-3-8440-4429-4}}</ref><ref>Singh, Rajinder (2016) ''Chemistry and Physics Nobel Prizes – India's Contribution'', Shaker Verlag, Aachen. {{ISBN|978-3-8440-4669-4}}.</ref>
