Abstract. Studies of Galactic star forming regions being carried out at TIFR, is summarized. The techniques and typical results from these studies have been described brie y, which include: the balloon borne far infrared mapping in broad photometric bands (150 & 210mu m) as well as spectroscopic imaging in the fine structure [C II] line at 158 m; near infrared imaging in broad and narrow bands using the Mt. Abu Infrared Telescope & Himalayan Chandra Telescope; high resolution radio interferometric imaging in the 330-1400 MHz bands using GMRT; and use of data products from international space missions like Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX).
