Heavenly laboratories are enormous in size, energy output and are the testing grounds for theories and models and at the same time giving new surprises to the physics community which is unthinkable in a terrestrial one. Astroparticle physics uses these natural facilities by defultto do particle physics beyond the boundaries of accelerator laboratories, for instance, in space, at the South Pole, underground, in the deep sea, under ice or in the desert which will definitely inspire future generations of scientists and the public at large. It is needless to say that, at present, astroparticle physics is the front-line area of research and within the astroparticle physics, the astrophysical neutrino has a very special place. _x000D_ _x000D_ The Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) which is new in many respect is really multidisciplinary and is one of the least understood current problem in science. Although we observe about one GRB per day, we still do not understand correctly the basic mechanism of the prompt emission process. We also do not know what is the mechanism which is responsible for transport of almost baryon free energy although it is in an astrophysical environment and believed to be contaminated by baryons. Even the more fundamental one is do we really know what type of stars give rise to GRB in the final stage of their life ? Is it really a place where Ultra High Energy cosmic rays are produced ? At the same time do they also produce high energy neutrinos as well as very high energy gamma-rays ? And many more questions which are yet to be answered. So I feel that because of all these sophistication, it is interesting and timely to study the physics of GRBs which seems to "all in one". As we have seen, GRB addresses a whole lot of fundamental questions to the scientific community and I believe that it is a matter of time and technology which can address many of these issues._x000D_

Work in this new field will enhance the capability of our research in Mexico and we will be able to compete with people world wide. It will also build confidence among the young collaborators to face new challenges in coming days._x000D_ _x000D_ Also most importantly to train the manpower in Mexico by incorporating students in Bachelor, Master and Doctoral level to face the future challenges which will enhance our scientific capability in the front line areas in Physics_ an essential ingredient for the advancement of the modern society. _x000D_
