Each year a set of departments Nusserwanji Tata, the Maharaja of Mysore, and the will be reviewed by a small team of international Government of India. Over the 109 years since its experts who will be invited to spend 3-4 days in the establishment, IISc has become the premier institute Institute. During this period, they interact closely for advanced scientific and technological research and with the faculty and students of these departments, education in India. Since its inception, the Institute and tour the facilities, aiming to assess the academic has laid a balanced emphasis on the pursuit of basic work against international benchmarks. This initiative knowledge in science and engineering, as well as on was kicked off by a review of the EECS Division the application of its research findings for industrial (the erstwhile Electrical Sciences Division), and the and social benefit. In the words of its founder, J.N. Department of Aerospace Engineering (which was Tata, the objectives of the Institute are “to provide celebrating its 75th anniversary). As part of their for advanced instruction and to conduct original evaluations, the invited experts provided valuable investigations in all branches of knowledge and, in feedback. We will study and act upon their input to particular, in such branches of knowledge as are likely ensure that IISc follows the best practices to achieve to promote the material and industrial welfare of international performance levels. India.” Again, in 2017-18, IISc has topped the MHRD NIRF rankings not only in the universities category, but also overall among all ranked institutions.

During the past year, the efforts This office has been aiming to raise funds from of SID have been given an extra impetus by inducting organizations under Corporate Social Responsibility, industry professionals into the management team. as well as from philanthropists and alumni.

It is interesting to note that some and the students, to the support of the technical and of these start-ups are coming out of very basic administrative personnel, and to financial support laboratory research, for example, one start-up aims from various funding agencies. to develop more effective influenza vaccines based on new fundamental understanding of the structure As I complete my fourth year as Director of this of the virus. Influenza is a major viral pathogen unique institution, I place on record my personal that causes about 300,000 deaths annually, and is gratitude to the Chairman and the Members of the deadly if there is a pandemic. The influenza virus, Council of the Institute for their valuable support and which causes the common flu, has many variants. guidance. This makes the process of generation of a universal vaccine for flu difficult. Conventional vaccines try to elicit antibodies against the variable head domain of an unstable protein called hemagglutinin which resides on the surface of the virus. Prof. Raghavan Varadarajan’s group and collaborators instead Anurag Kumar focused on the conserved stem domain, and designed Director modified fragments of this domain. These fragments September 2018 protect mice from infection with diverse strains of influenza virus. A startup (Mynvax) has been formed to develop and commercialize this work. The new Office of Career Counselling and Placement (OCCaP) has recruited a Placement Officer (on contract), and has had a successful first full year of operation. 80% of the registered Master’s Degree students have been successfully placed. OCCaP has also been seeking internship opportunities for students, which in turn strengthens their chance of getting a job offer in the following year. This year also saw initiation of special efforts towards laboratory and food safety. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) was engaged for auditing all the eateries on the campus (those in the hostels, and also the various food outlets). Through a process of auditing and training, the aim is to ensure safe food handling practices in all these entities. An Office of Laboratory Safety and Environmental Health was launched this year, along with the recruitment of a Safety Officer (on contract).

If an academic institution of eminence crosses this milestone it becomes imperative not only to celebrate this historic event, but also necessitate us to pause and ruminate with pride its long and illustrious journey through the past century. The Department of Geology of the Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, established in 1919, has completed its centennial year in October of 2019 and joins the proud list of such century old prestigious academic institutions of our country like Presidency University, Kolkata, and Presidency College, Chennai, where such departments were started as early as in 1892 and 1910, respectively. It is a coincidence that two renowned earth science unions viz., the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) have completed 100 years of their glorious services in 2019. This write-up briefly outlines the evolutionary history of the Department of Geology, BHU, it’s phenomenal role as a progenitor and mentor to several other distinguished earth science departments across the country, present status, and also its roadmap for the future.
