Publication of Scientific Journals: Among the activities undertaken by the Academy since 1934, publication of scientific journals has occupied pride of place. Some early decisions were that papers for publication need not be communicated by Fellows, and that all papers submitted would be subject to scrutiny by referees. The first issue of the Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences appeared in July 1934. Proceedings was started as a monthly and soon became two monthlies in July 1935, one section devoted to physical sciences and the other to life sciences. In 1973, a new physics journal entitled Pramana – Journal of Physics was added. 1977 onwards, the publications programme was considerably enlarged, with the two sections of Proceedings split into several theme journals devoted to mathematics, chemistry, earth and planetary sciences, plant sciences, animal sciences, experimental biology and engineering. The section on experimental biology was renamed Journal of Biosciences in 1979, and in 1991, Proceedings Animal Sciences and Proceedings Plant Sciences merged with it. The section on engineering sciences was renamed Sadhana in 1984. New journals in materials science and astrophysics & astronomy were added. In 1985, the Academy took over and revived the Journal of Genetics, one of the oldest journals in genetics in the English language. The journal Resonance, added in the year 1996, is aimed at improving the quality of science education and teaching. The latest addition to the list of journals are ‘Dialogue: Science, Scientists, and Society’ and ‘IASc Conference Series’. These journals are online only journals. The Current Science Association works with the Academy in bringing out the fortnightly multidisciplinary journal Current Science, published since 1932. The number of journals currently published by the Academy is 13, covering all major disciplines in science & technology. The Academy is one of the biggest scientific journal publishers in the country. Besides regular journals, special publications of topical interest and Patrika – the newsletter of the Academy – are frequently brought out. Since January 2007, 10 journals of the Academy are being co- published with Springer (http://www.springer.com). Springer provides access to the journals’ content worldwide on its journal platform Springer Link (http://link.springer.com). Springer also 2 Section A: Indian Academy of Sciences distributes print editions of the 10 journals outside India, all international subscription queries can be made to [email protected]. Full and free access to the Academy journals is available worldwide on the website of the Academy (https://www.ias.ac.in/Journals/Overview/). 2. Election of Fellows and Honorary Fellows: The Academy annually elects distinguished scientists of the country to its Fellowship; it also elects persons distinguished for contributions to science or engineering, whose place of work is outside India, as Honorary Fellows. The stringent annual exercise begins with nominations by Fellows, and goes through evaluation and shortlisting by Sectional Committees for the Council, and ends with ballot open to all Fellows in December every year. As on 31 December 2019, the number of Fellows on roll was 1069, and Honorary Fellows 53. 3. Selection of Associates: This programme was introduced in 1983 to identify and encourage promising young scientists. The programme was assessed for its impact in 2018 by a committee constituted by the Council. Based on the recommendations of the committee the programme was reformed to provide opportunity to young scientists from diverse institutions and backgrounds to pursue scientific excellence. As per the revised guidelines, the upper age limit is now 38 years. The Associateship is tenable for a minimum period of 3 years or a maximum period of 6 years. This expanded tenure of Associateship is applicable for candidates selected from 2019 onwards. During this period Associates can attend meetings of the Academy, organize Lecture Workshops, Refresher Courses and mentor students/teachers selected under the Summer Research Fellowship Programme; contribute to the Academy activities and publications as authors and reviewers; participate in editorial activities of the Academy journals. For the year 2020, candidates born after 31.12.1981 are eligible to be nominated by Fellows of the Academy and other Heads of institutions of national importance such as IITs, NITs, IISERs, CSIR laboratories, Central University departments (limited to pure and applied sciences including engineering).The total number of Associates is limited to 100. As on 31 December 2019 the total number

As a consequence, in the past fifty years, there has been a paradigm shift in our interpreting the life process. In the process, modern biology had acquired a truly interdisciplinary character in which all streams of sciences have made monumental contributions. Because of such rapid emergence as a premier subject of teaching and research; a necessity to restructure classical teachings in biology was recognised by the academics worldwide. In tune with such trends, the academic leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru University conceptualised the School of Life Sciences as an interdisciplinary research/teaching programme unifying various facets of biology while reflecting essential commonality regarding structure, function and evolution of biomolecules. The School was established in 1973 and since offering integrated teaching and research at M. Sc/ Ph.D level in various sub-disciplines in life sciences. Since inception, it remained dedicated to its core objectives and evolved to be one of the top such institutions in India and perhaps in South East Asia.

  • 16 February 2016 Prof. M. Jagadesh Kumar Vice Chancellor
    16 February 2016 Prof. M. Jagadesh Kumar Vice Chancellor Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi-110 067, India Dear Prof. Kumar, We are writing, as a group of academics, to express our deep disappointment with your actions in the event leading up to the arrest of several students last week. We understand that last Tuesday, a student group organized a rally to commemorate the death anniversary of Afzal Guru. The police alleges that some of the students voiced controversial opinions. The police then proceeded to arrest the president of the JNU Students Union, Kanhaiya Kumar, and charged him with sedition. This has been followed by a number of further arrests. What is most disturbing is that the JNU administration appears to have defended and aided these repressive actions by the police, rather than defending the students who were involved in a non-violent activity. The arrest of the president of the JNUSU is especially troublesome since he was not even an organizer of the rally but merely present to express his solidarity. However, even as far the organizers and the speakers at the event are concerned, we hope that you recognize that expressing controversial views in a peaceful forum cannot be equated with sedition. For example, many people believe that Afzal Guru was let down by a lack of appropriate legal representation in his trial, and that his execution was therefore a grave miscarriage of justice. One may agree or disagree with this viewpoint — and, indeed, signatories to this letter hold different positions — but we are unanimous that students should have the right to freely discuss this issue.

Classical phases of (0 + 1) dimensional unitary matrix models can be characterised by free Fermi droplets in two dimensions. We quantise these droplets and find that the modes satisfy an abelian Kac-Moody algebra. The Hilbert spaces H+ and H− associated with the upper and lower free Fermi surfaces of a droplet admit a Young diagram basis in which the phase space Hamiltonian is diagonal with eigenvalue, in the large N limit, equal to the quadratic Casimir of u(N). We establish an exact mapping between states in H± and geometries of droplets. In particular, coherent states in H± correspond to classical deformation of upper and lower Fermi surfaces. We prove that correlation between two coherent states in H± is equal to the chiral and anti-chiral partition function of 2d Yang-Mills theory on a cylinder. Using the fact that the full Hilbert space H+ ⊗ H− admits a composite basis, we show that correlation between two classical droplet geometries is equal to the full U(N) Yang-Mills partition function on cylinder.
