solar transition region and discovered evidences for further strengthening the support for nano-flare heated solar corona. Important studies of the Sun also need to be made through the radiation it emits at high energies, such as ultraviolet, extreme ultraviolet, and X-rays. These cannot be seen from the Earth due to their absorption in the atmosphere. For this the IUCAA solar and instrumentation group together have created the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) that is nowworking onboard the successful Aditya-L1 mission to study the Sun from Space. As the observational data from SUIT starts coming in, the group will investigate the nature of various types of waves in solar atmospheres in order to understand the heatingmechanisms of solar corona.
