    ARTICLE ASIMA CHATTERJEE : A DOYEN IN THE CHEMISTRY OF NATURAL PRODUCTS DHRUBAJYOTI CHATTOPADHYAY* The year 2017 is the birth centenary of Dr. Asima Chatterjee, a doyen in the chemistry of Natural Products. She was one of the pioneer women scientists in India. In fact, she was the first woman to be awarded the Doctorate of Science (DSc) degree by any Indian University; first woman scientist to occupy a Chairedprofessor of any Indian university, first woman General President of the Indian Science Congress and also first woman scientist to receive the Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar Award in Science and second person in chemical science. We know that the social and cultural taboos secluded women from the scientific research and science study; it was traditionally preserved for men for a long period throughout the world. Only a few women can come out to establish themselves due to their strong will force and unconditional love towards science. Asima Chatterjee was one of such woman scientist of India. Her major interest was on the Chemistry of Natural Products from Indian Medicinal Plants. SIMA CHATTERJEE née Mukherjee was born on interested to explore this side from her childhood days. 23rd September, 1917, in Kolkata, the capital town She felt the urge to introduce this idea in modern medical Aof West Bengal.

  • ASIMA CHATTERJEE (23 September 1917 - 24 November 2006)
    ASIMA CHATTERJEE (23 September 1917 - 24 November 2006) Biog. Mem. Fell. NSA, N. Delhi 32 179-215 (2007) ASIMA CHATTERJEE (1917 - 2006) (Elected Fellow 1960) EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION SIMA CHATTERJEE (Mrs) (nee Mukherjee) was born in Calcutta (now known A as Kolkata) on September 23, 1917, being the elder of two children of Late Dr Indranarayan Mukherjee and Late Smt. Kamala Devi. She passed her Matriculation Examination in 1932, from Bethune Collegiate School, Kolkata, (founded by Mr John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune on 7th May 1849) securing a Bengal Government Scholarship. In 1934 she passed the ISc Examination from Bethune College and obtained a Bengal Government Scholarship, Nawab Latiff and Father Lafnot Scholarships of the University of Calcutta and the Hemprova Bose Memorial Medal. She graduated with honours in chemistry in 1936 from Scottish Church College and received the Basanti Das Gold Medal. She was the only woman student out of three admitted in the Chemistry Department of Scottish Church College to complete higher education. Coming from an orthodox, joint Hindu family, severe objections were raised by the elders in allowing Miss Mukherjee to study in a co- education college. It was the courage and sheer determination of her Mother which enabled her to do so. Incidentally, it was the only college in Kolkata where female students could study Chemistry Honours at that time. During her post-graduate studies at the University of Calcutta she came into close contact with the doyens of Indian Science, like Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, Professors Prafulla Chandra Mitter, Pulin Behari Sarkar, Jagendra Chandra Bardhan and Dr Prafulla Kumar Bose, who later joined Bose Institute as Professor and Head of the Department of Chemistry.
