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!
It's Nature Communication
Finally after 10 years of sustained hard work our work on Parkinson got accepted by Nature Communication. The molecule has been taken up by Boston based Pharma industry to develop as a drug for the treatment of Parkinson disease!
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?
Govt. has approved enhancing emoluments for JRF/SRF/RAs engaged in R&D activities whereby they will receive following fellowships/month w.e.f 01/01/2023:
JRF - Rs 37,000
SRF - Rs 42,000
RA1 - Rs 58,000
RA2 - Rs 61,000
RA3 - Rs 63,000
DST has to issue OM
@DiwanProf
Eleven years hard work finally paid off, not only Nature Communications, but entry of this molecule to phase I clinical trials is most satisfying.
Met Prof CR Babu, Emeritus Prof, DU today. He is known for his work for developing Yamuna Biodiversity park. He was Pro Vice Chancellor in 2003 when I joined DU. Over 84+ age, still work in the lab, lot to learn from him.

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
Courtesy meeting with Honourable Chief Minister of Uttrakhand. Government is determined to improve the education system in the state. I am sure under the leadership of Honourable CM we will be able to take these institutions to greater heights.
Heartiest congratulations. This boy came to me sometime as his University exam clashed with his interview at IISc and JNCR. Allowed him to write university exam after his interview is over and he made us proud.

Though still we have to go miles! But taking to molecule from Indian university system to clinical development has been a herculean task. Last year we got Nature Communication on this work! Phase Ia human trial finally successful.

PhD students are the backbone and biggest work force of any academic institution. To get the maximum output from the University, I addressed PhD students of Kumaun University. I wish this address will motivate students to do better in the years to come!
Received blessings of my teachers who taught me during 1985-88 at BSSV Nainital. All of my teachers are retired and some them came from Haldwani. Thanks Manoj Bisht and office bearers of BSSV Old Boys Association for organising such a beautiful program.
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!
Organic Chemistry Symposium 2024 started at IIT K today to honour respected Prof VK Singh’s contributions in academics, administration as institute builder and great motivator for the young generation! My best wishes sir🙏

Mr Aayush Shah, alumnus of KU visited my office, he passed out in 2020 and completed one year at IIT Madras. He is doing PhD and in one year he published a paper in Q1 category journal. Very happy to see the progress of this young boy!
Grew up by looking at the work of some of the tallest figures of Indian Science, today I had an opportunity to meet one such personality, Prof Goverdhan Mehta, FRS and handed over the Honorary DSc (h.c.) of KU. Personal thanks to Honourable Governor of UK.

This is something special!! Served earlier RSC Advanced and Scientific Reports as Associate Editor and now "Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology (Impact Factor: 3.66) offered my Associate Editorship position of this prestigious journal.
St Stephen’s College being a minority college has been allowed to give 15% weightage to interview for minorities. Can't understand the logic!! Very bad indeed.

Katarmal, Almora. Need popularisation of all such heritage sites. Proper display on road side and at popular places like Kainchi Dham, Nainital can be a place where information about these places can be displayed for the public.
In Oder to bring complete transparency in the functioning of the University, tender is invited for confidential printing, first time in the history of KU, probably in Uttrakhand too!
First class of 2024-25 batch of MSc (P) students at DSB Campus! Last two semesters didn’t miss a single class! Thanks Prof Chitra Pande, HoD Chemistry for rescheduling my class as and when required!

Every time India gets first position, we all feel elated and proud. But now we are first in the world in terms of population! Anyone wants to celebrate it, NO. Only way forward is to have policy on population control, let's come out of this psyche to appease anyone!
