I hope it will become an important vehicle of networking for everyone concerned with the future progress in the academic activities of the Institute. The Institute is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in scientific research that enhances knowledge of nature, and to the training and nurturing of young scientists, mathematicians and engineers, particularly those showing exceptional promise. With the formal establishment of the TIFR Alumni Association on April 29, 2000, the Institute has already received crucial support from its members towards fulfilling our main objectives. It has become one of the most important driving forces for our TIFR Endowment Fund. In years to come, the natural bond between the Institute and its alumni is expected to be further strengthened. We will remain highly indebted to our alumni for their continued commitment towards our objectives and our mission of learning, research and teaching. Let me conclude by congratulating all concerned who have worked very hard to bring the Alumni Association to the present level and have been able to start the publication of this Newsletter. Dr. S.S.

We received by return mail, a forty-three page document. It was a summation of an amazing career as an art historian, a social scientist studying the operation of religion in mediaeval India, and an academician who has balanced the religious life with the life of a scholar and of an administrator. The story began 69 years ago when a girl was born to Rosy and P R Verghese. “My mother, Rosy Verghese, was a homemaker; she never went to work. That generation of women hardly ever did. She was a loving and caring person, kind and concerned about the poor. These are the two qualities that I think I gained from her. My father was stricter than my mother, though he was also kind. He was a fair and just person. This showed in his dealings with people; he retired as the Chief Engineer of Western Railway. This meant that he had to deal with the unions at a time when the unions were very powerful. In 1974, there was an All-India Railway strike. It was historic, the only all-India strike ever in the history of the railways. The railways stopped working for an entire month. Even today, with so much air traffic and increased road traffic, if a railway strike were to happen, it would cause a major upheaval in the lives 2 Lives of the Women of the ordinary person.

    University of Mumbai & Department of Atomic Energy CENTRE for EXCELLENCE IN BASIC SCIENCES 2016-2017 UM-DAE CEBS Annual Report (April 2016 - March 2017) University of Mumbai (UM) – Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (CEBS) Director’s Message The University of Mumbai & Department of Atomic Energy (UM-DAE) Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (CEBS) has had yet another successful year, thus completing ten years of its existence, on the campus of the University of Mumbai at Kalina. This year, the sixth batch of students graduated after successfully completing their Integrated M.Sc. programme of the Centre. It is very satisfying to note that almost all the students who have passed out from CEBS, till now are currently pursuing their Ph.D. in prestigious institutions. The number of students securing admission to CEBS is increasing progressively, and today it stands at 45 plus 2 from J&K per year. The Centre has been gaining in popularity across the country, as can be seen from the fact that, the number of students registering for its entrance test, namely, the National Entrance Screening Test (NEST), which is conducted jointly by CEBS and NISER-Bhubaneshwar, a sister institution of DAE with similar mandate, has increased from 3300 in the first year to more than 60,000 in the last year. As a part of its academic activities, CEBS organizes workshops, seminars, public lectures, refresher course etc, and sometimes, jointly with the University of Mumbai. It has also started a student’s exchange Programmes with other institutions. Our formal interaction with York University is progressing very well and this year three students went to York to carry out the ninth semester project in the Physics and Chemistry streams.
