* Title.         The Standard Model of Cosmology and Beyond

* Abstract 

The standard model of cosmology, a spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic universe with cosmological constant as dark energy, weakly interacting dark matter and power-law form of the primordial spectrum
seems to agree well with almost all cosmological observations however, It is still a very important task in physical cosmology and theoretical physics in general to rigorously test different aspects of
this model confronting it with observations. In my talk I review about the current status of the modern cosmology and discuss about the future prospects of studying our Universe.
