Shashikant Tiwari submitted his thesis today (my 27th PhD student), he belongs to a very poor family, very hard working, intelligent and honest person. He developed methodologies that can have huge potential in making pharmaceutically important molecules!

Lot of criticism on dropping the periodic table and theory of evolution from class 10 NCERT text books. The impression is being created as Indian students will not be taught these two fundamental concepts. But as per NCERT these are available in class 12, what's wrong on it?

@PMOIndia @EduMinOfIndia @ncert I went through class 9 and 12 NCERT book, the information provided for 9th students is appropriate. Complete information about periodic table is given in 12th book. So allegation that Indian students will not be taught periodic table is not correct

We can debate, criticise PM Modi, but one must admit, he has the courage to openly show his faith, he forced others to visit temples with same respect as for other religions. It took more than 500 years to give due place to lord Rama, but finally nation could see the day!
