  • CDRI Awards 2021 for Excellence in Drug Research
    CDRI AWARDS for Excellence in Drug Research 2021 Invitation for Nominations / Applications Instituted by the CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow – 226 031 CDRI AWARDS for Excellence in Drug Research Preamble The CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI), Lucknow, was seventh in the chain of CSIR labs that were established in India right after independence India with an aim for technological independence of the Nation. CSIR-CDRI was broadly mandated with the task to revolutionise the pharmaceutical sector, which was almost non-existent at that time for accessibility and affordability of drugs. Today, CSIR-CDRI has evolved into a unique institution possessing end-to-end expertise in the domain of new drug development –its human resource and infrastructure today is second to none. Besides being the breeding ground of huge highly trained human resource for the drug development and manufacturing, out of 20 new drugs discovered, developed and approved in the post-independent India, 11 (8 synthetic + 3 phytopharmaceuticals) are contributions of CSIR-CDRI, Lucknow. These include Centchroman, Arteether, Centbucridine, Gugulipid, Bacosides Enriched Standardized Extract of Bacopa, etc. Centchroman (Ormeloxifene), a non-steroidal contraceptive with almost no toxicity, is now part of the National Family Program, whereas α-β Arteether (antimalarial) is included in the National Malaria Program. However, from the National front, new drug discovery and development is still in its infancy in India. India is a leader in global generic pharmaceuticals manufacturing and is being called as Pharmacy of the developing world, however, many generics manufactured in India are at the end of their respective product life cycles.

  • Monthly Coverage Dossier January 2019
    Monthly Coverage Dossier January 2019 Prepared by IIT Madras is a campus of choice for high ranking JEE students Date: 11th January 2019 Publication: The Indian express Edition: Online Journalist: NA Student: Niranjana Prasad Moleyar Headline: CAT 2018 topper aspires to be like Mukesh Ambani URL: https://indianexpress.com/article/education/cat-2018-topper-from-udupi-wants- to-be-next-ambani-5532445/ CAT 2018 topper aspires to be like Mukesh Ambani Karnataka-born Niranjana Prasad Moleyar has scored 100 percentile in Common Admission Test 2018 in his first attempt itself. Unlike many management aspirants, he prefers self-studies over coaching. Moleyar shares the first rank with 10 others engineering students and is the only one from Karnataka to secure 100 percentile score. Currently, he is pursuing B.Tech-M.Tech integrated course at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)- Madras. This 22-year-old finds inspiration in the work of business tycoon and chairman of RIL, Mukesh Ambani as he believes he has brought telecom revolution in India. “I want to pursue finance and do something which can disrupt the Indian economy for good just like Mukesh Ambani did with Jio. I want to see myself as a CFO of a company so that I can do something which can benefit Indians,” Moleyar told indianexpress.com. The CAT topper aspires to join the Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Ahmedabad because he believes that the institute has a case-study based curriculum which is unique. He has already received a call letter from IIM-Calcutta. He prepared for the Common Admission Test (CAT) only during December 2017 and January 2018 and secured a perfect score.

  • Newsletter February 2019
    EDITORIAL As we sail into the 8th year of our young institute, this newsletter aims to provide a common platform to bring together all the events associated with TIFRH, scientific and otherwise. In this inaugural issue, we bring to you an array of articles along with some creative titbits. We start off the issue with the cover story tracing the marvellous journey of TIFR Hyderabad, right from its conception to the point we stand today, a full-fledged institute bustling with research activities. We feature an article by Prof. Hari Dass, which will make you ponder about the no- cloning theorem in quantum mechanics and its implications, and Shubhadeep Pal, who gives an insight into the importance of reducing carbon emissions. We also feature an exclusive interview with the NMR bigwig, Prof. Shimon Vega, who talks about his foray into NMR, the long-standing relationship with his student, Prof. P.K Madhu, and dealing with hiccups in science. TIFR has a long history of outreach programs and other activities encouraging science education at the roots. At TIFR Hyderabad, we intend to continue this paradigm and to this end, Debashree Sengupta talks more about the active initiatives being taken in this direction. Moreover, amidst a variety of interdisciplinary research at TIFRH, we have highlighted a few in the ‘InFocus’ section of this issue. Lastly, in the non-science end of this issue, we present to you some comic relief, a poem about life and friendship in a research institute, and a photo gallery sporting a few talented shutterbugs at TIFR Hyderabad.

    Limiting Value of the Kolkata Index for Social Inequality and a Possible Social Constant Asim Ghosh1, ∗ and Bikas K Chakrabarti2, 3, 4, † 1Raghunathpur College, Raghunathpur, Purulia 723133, India. 2Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata 700064, India. 3Economic Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata 700108, India. 4S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata 700106, India Based on some analytic structural properties of the Gini and Kolkata indices for social inequality, as obtained from a generic form of the Lorenz function, we make a conjecture that the limiting (effective saturation) value of the above-mentioned indices is about 0.865. This, together with some more new observations on the citation statistics of individual authors (including Nobel laureates), suggests that about 14% of people or papers or social conflicts tend to earn or attract or cause about 86% of wealth or citations or deaths respectively in very competitive situations in markets, universities or wars. This is a modified form of the (more than a) century old 80 − 20 law of Pareto in economy (not visible today because of various welfare and other strategies) and gives an universal value (0.86) of social (inequality) constant or number. I. INTRODUCTION Unlike the universal constants in physical sciences, like the Gravitational Constant of Newton’s Gravity law, Boltzmann Constant of thermodynamics or Planck’s Constant of Quantum Mechanics, there is no established universal constant yet in social sciences. There have of course been suggestion of several possible candidates. Stanley Milgram’s experiment [1] to determine the social ‘contact-distance’ between any two per- sons of the society, by trying to deliver letters from and to random people through personal chains of friends or acquaintances, suggested ‘Six Degrees of Separation’.
