CSIR-CCMB celebrated its fifth Founder’s day event commemorating the 93rd birth anniversary of its Founder-Director, Pushpa Mittra Bhargava on Monday.
Bhargava was a major architect of modern biology and biotechnology in India and a firm believer of the amalgamation of art and science in life. He was a proponent of good scientific temper who never stepped back from speaking up against any claim that is not backed with scientific evidence. He was known for the biological research in India on whose shoulders stand hundreds of researchers who more than gladly follow his principles.
The event was organised with physical distancing in an open location keeping in view the limitations of the current pandemic situation.
