Abstract Book PROCEEDINGS OF THE International Seminar on Recent Advances in Chemistry and Material Sciences (2021), Young Scientist Conclave (2021) & Student Science Meet (2021) The 160th Birth Anniversary Celebration of Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray 01-03 & 07-08 August, 2021 iii FOREWORD “International Seminar on Recent Advances in Chemistry and Material Sciences (2021), Young Scientist Conclave (2021) & Student Science Meet (2021)” is being organized by the Indian Chemical Society to commemorate the 160th Birth Anniversary of Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, the doyen of Chemical Sciences in India. This is 16th in the series of Symposium, the first one was held in 2006, as a part of Birth day celebration of Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, founder President of the Indian Chemical Society. The Indian Chemical Society, one of the oldest learned bodies of our national pride was established on May 09, 1924. Acharya P. C. Ray, after returning from Edinburgh first joined the Presidency College, Kolkata in 1889 and later in 1916, joined the Department of Chemistry, newly formed University College of Science, University of Calcutta as the Palit Professor of Chemistry. Acharya Ray was intimately associated with the Indian Chemical Society till the last breath. The school of modern chemical research established by Acharya Ray in the University College of Science, where he used to live in the later part of his life, subsequently spread over the entire country through his many illustrious disciples. Acharya Ray had always strongly advocated for effective interactions between industries and academia. He himself was the founder of Bengal Chemical and Pharmaceutical Works Ltd. Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray was born on August 02, 1861. The Indian Chemical Society solemnly observes this auspicious day every year in a befitting manner. This year we are going to observe the 160th Birth Anniversary of Acharya Ray by organizing a weeklong program consisting of students’ competition on “Chemistry for Better Tomorrow” amongst students of Class V-XII and Science & Engineering students of UG & PG courses on 1st August. There are eighteen speakers of different research areas from theoretical to applied research in “International Seminar on Recent Advances in Chemistry and Material Sciences (2021)” to be held on 02-03 August. On 07-08 August in the “Young Scientist Conclave (2021)” twenty-two young speakers from different institutes will present their research. In organizing the Seminar, we have received sincere co-operation from every corner, particularly the fellows/members, and many organizations for their active participation. We are thankful to all of them. We are also thankful to the Endowment and Invited speakers whose deliberations, we hope, will certainly elevate the academic standard of the Seminar to a new height, and to all the distinguished chemists and the participants who responded to our appeal spontaneously in making the Seminar a grand success. Despite our best efforts there might be some lapses, for which I sincerely tender my apology.

Gandhi (1869-1948) Text "A Month With Gokhale" 28.3.1 Chapter 17 28.3.2 Chapter 18 28.3.3 Chapter 19 Glossary Discussion Let Us Sum Up Suggested Reading Answers to Exercises 28.0 OBJECTIVES After going through this unit you will be able to: understand and define autobiography as a form of prose; read and comprehend "A Month With Gokhale - I, I1,III" from M. K. Gandhi's An Autobiography or The Story of My Experiments with Truth (1927); appreciate Gandhis' art and craft of autobiography. 28.1 INTRODUCTION TO AUTOBIOGRAPHY What is Autobiography? Autobiography is a branch of biographical literature written in subjective prose. It is always incomplete as it is the story of a person who writes it himherself. 'It is usually written at a later stage in life. The events are recollected either in chronological sequence or at random, moving back and forth in time. However, all autobiographies are not written when the author is old. For example, Dom Moraes wrote his autobiography entitled My Son's Father when he was only twenty two! An autobiography may appear biased which is justified because one person's point of view is being presented. Details of personal experience are made interesting so that regardless of the fame or obscurity of the writer, the reader's attention is engaged and curiosity aroused. Writers talk freely about themselves making frequent use of the first person pronoun.

I dreamt a dream that, God willing, a timE would come when she too would contribute her quota. Half-a-century has since then rolled by.

Ma~ the torch thus kindled burn with greater brilliance from generation to generation I The conditions and handicap under which this volume appears have been related in the concluding envoy of the book and need not be repeated here. In fact, I find to my dismay that this very year I have to tour some fifteen thousand miles across the length and breadth of this land in response to invitations from several Universities and organisations. In these days of awakened national consciousness, the life story of a Bengali chemist smacks rather of narrow pro­ vincialism.

  • Dr. Jhillu Singh Yadav – Scientist Par Excellence a Tribute
    Issue in Honor of Dr. Jhillu S. Yadav ARKIVOC 2016 (ii) 1-8 Dr. Jhillu Singh Yadav – Scientist par excellence A Tribute Dedicated to Dr. Jhillu Singh Yadav on the occasion of his outstanding contribution to organic synthetic chemistry I feel privileged to pay tribute to Dr. J. S. Yadav, who has been magnificent as a co-mentor (during my initial career as research fellow) and colleague after I joined the Institute as a scientist. Dr. Yadav was born on the 4th of August, 1950 in Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, India. After school in Uttar Pradesh (largest state in India), he Joined Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (one of the oldest Universities in India) in 1968 and pursued his Bachelors and Masters degrees. He completed his Ph.D in a span of three years from the National Chemical Laboratories, Pune and was awarded a doctorate from Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda in 1976 where he was involved in Isolongifolene chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Sukh Dev. He worked as Research Associate at Rice University, Houston, USA and as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin, USA between 1977-1980. He returned to India and joined National Chemical Laboratories as Scientist (1980-1986) and started work on pheromones and fatty acids. In 1986, he moved to the Regional Research Laboratory, Hyderabad (presently known as CSIR- Indian Institute of Chemical Technology) and initiated a new era in the field of synthesis. He became the Director in 2003 and headed the crown institute of CSIR (CSIR-IICT) for 9 years (2003-2012). The scientific career of Dr.
