Biography Monkombu Sambasivan Swaminathan is a plant geneticist, agricultural scientist and scientific administrator. He was born on 7 August 1925 at Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu. He completed his early school education at the Native High School and, later, the Catholic Little Flower High School in Kumbakonam. He moved to Trivandrum in 1940 to pursue his undergraduate studies in Zoology at University College. The Bengal Famine of 1943 urged M.S. Swaminathan to devote a career to improve agricultural standards and food security in the country. He obtained a B.Sc. in Agriculture in 1947 from the Agricultural College and Research Institute at Coimbatore. In 1949, he completed his associateship with the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi with distinction in Genetics and Plant Breeding. In 1949, he also qualified the Civil Service Examinations conducted by the Union Public Service Commission and was offered a position with the Indian Police Service. However, Swaminathan opted for research by accepting the offer to become a UNESCO Fellow in Genetics at the Agricultural University at Wageningen, the Netherlands, during 1949-50. He went on to complete his PhD on ‘Species Differentiation, and the Nature of Polyploidy in certain species of the Genus Solanum- section Tuberarium’ at the School of Agriculture, Cambridge University, England. Following this, he worked as a research associate in the Department of Genetics at the University of Wisconsin- Madison in the United States of America, until 1953. Swaminathan returned to India in 1954 and undertook work in the Indica Japonica Rice Hybridization Programme at the Central Rice Research Institute, Odisha. In October 1954, he joined the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, as Assistant Cytogeneticist in the Botany Division. He proceeded to head the Botany Division in 1962 and later assumed leadership of IARI from 1966 to 1972. In January 1972, he took lead as the Director General of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi. In 1979, he joined the Government of India as Principal Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation. In 1980, he then retired from government services and joined the Planning Commission as a member for agriculture and rural development. Swaminathan also served as the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission between April and June, 1980. In April 1982, he took over as the Director-General of the International Rice Research Institute, Philippines. It was during his tenure at IRRI when he was awarded the first World Food Prize in 1987 at the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington D.C. Returning to India in 1988, he began formally establishing his own research centre named the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, located in Chennai from the proceeds of the World Food Prize. He has also held other administrative positions of importance. He was the Chairman of the National Commission of Farmers, Government of India (2004-06), President of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (2005-07) and was a Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha (2007-2013). He also served in the capacity of President for the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs from 2002 - 2007. His early years of research were focused on the origin and differentiation of potato species. He is also popularly known for his contributions to research in wheat and rice, made popular by the ‘Green Revolution’ in India. Other areas of research include disaster management strategies, improved crop productivity, genetic resource centres and work in biotechnology. He has authored and edited 18 books and over 250 research papers.

  • Appendix I Nelson Mandela on Nehru
    0l F7 Much has already been written on Jawaharlal Nehru, the charismatic leader and builder of modem India. Naturally, in his birth centenary year there should be such a deep interest in studying and analysing the various facets of Nehru's life, work and seminal thought. This is, however, a specialised study on Nehru's vision of Africa, an exploited part of the world that was so close to the heart of this humanist and champion of freedom and peace. It reveals how even as a young man, the tragic period of slavery and brutal sup pression in Africa moved him so intensely that he started telling the international community of its "special responsibility" towards the peoples of Africa. After India's independence, his contribu tion to the process of decolonisation, especially in regard to Kenya, Algeria and Portuguese territories makes a fascinating reading. His voice on the problems of hapless Congo and the tripartite aggression on Egypt after the nationalisation of the Suez Canal was loud and clear. It was a voice of sanity and morality. His words had the breadth of his vision. Nehru had no doubt in his mind that the obnoxious policy of apartheid was an affront to human dignity. His advice to Indian settlers in Africa that they should identify themselves with the urges and aspirations of the in digenous population is considered unique, though controversial. Nehru viewed that the independence of African countries could only be safeguarded through economic strength. He passionately advocated Indo-African economic and techni cal cooperation which has today become a model of South-South cooperation.

  • SOUTHERN LIGHTS Depiction of a Tibetan Globe-Lamp
    \ I I SOUTHERN LIGHTS Depiction of a Tibetan globe-lamp. The four swivelling concentric rings serve to hold the lamp in place, always keeping it upright. The lamp was popularized in the 16th century by Girolamo Cardano, whose name was given to its method of suspension. Its first appearance in Europe can be traced to the 9th century; however, it was in China over 1 000 years earlier, in the 2nd century BC, that the lamp was invented.

  • From Asian to Global Financial Crisis
    This page intentionally left blank FROM ASIAN TO GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS This is a unique insider account of the new world of unfettered finance. The author, an Asian regulator, examines how old mindsets, market fundamental- ism, loose monetary policy, carry trade, lax supervision, greed, cronyism, and financial engineering caused both the Asian crisis of the late 1990s and the cur- rent global crisis of 2007–2009. This book shows how the Japanese zero inter- est rate policy to fight deflation helped create the carry trade that generated bubbles in Asia whose effects brought Asian economies down. The study’s main purpose is to demonstrate that global finance is so interlinked and interactive that our current tools and institutional structure to deal with critical episodes are completely outdated. The book explains how current financial policies and regulation failed to deal with a global bubble and makes recommendations on what must change. Andrew Sheng is currently the Chief Adviser to the China Banking Regulatory Commission and a Board Member of the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority, Khazanah Nasional Berhad and Sime Darby Berhad, Malaysia. He is also Adjunct Professor at the Graduate School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing, and at the Faculty of Economics and Administration at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. Mr Sheng was Chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong from 1998 to 2005. A former central banker with Bank Negara Malaysia and Hong Kong Monetary Authority, between 2003 and 2005 he was Chairman of the Technical Committee of IOSCO, the International Organization of Securities Commissions, the standard setter for securities regulation.

  • AJUDHYA NATH KHOSLA Elected Fellow 1951
    AJUDHYA NATH KHOSLA Elected Fellow 1951 "An eminent engineer, an able administrator and a generous human being" will be the epithets by which AJUDHYA NATH KHOSLAwill be known to the posterity in India. Belonging to a generation of Indians, born when the country was under foreign domination, Dr Xhosla was proud to be an Indian and had great confidence in the capabilities of Indian engineers. There is no doubt that he had few equals to match his qualities, achievements and abilities. EARLYLIFE AND EDUCATION Ajudhya Nath Khosla was born in Jullunder City in the Punjab on December 11, 1892. He had his early education at the Government High School and later at the Anglo-Sanskrit H~ghSchool, Jullunder, from which he passed his Matric exami- nation in 1908. He had his college education at the DAV College, Lahore, from where he graduated in Arts (Hons) in 1912 securing the first position in the University ' and the highest marks in mathematics. Young Khosla joined the Thomson College of Civil Engineering, Roorkee in October 1913 and graduated with honours. Soon after passing out from the Engineering College, in July 1916, he joined the Punjab Public Works Department (Irrigation Branch). It is interesting to note that his first assignment was to investigate and survey connected with Bhakra Dam Project, a major challenge faced and overcame by him with great distinction in later life. The dam, one of the highest in the world, stands on the same axis as he had proposed in 1917 as an apprentice engineer. From July 1918 to March 1920, during the First World War, he was with the Mesopotamia Expeditionary Force in Iraq as a Commissioned Officer, when he made his first original contribution to engineering by designing Khosla Disc for precision levelling across rivers and wide valleys.

  • Acceptance Speech by Professor Omar M. Yaghi
    Omar Yaghi’s Speech for 2017 Albert Einstein Science Award I want to thank the principals of the World Cultural Council, organizers of the Einstein World Award of Science Prize, and the generous hospitality of our hosts, Leiden University’s executive body, faculty, staff, and students. Please allow me to express my deepest appreciation to Lily Hernandez for her thoughtfulness and dedication to help bring all this together. I am deeply honored to join the ranks of distinguished scholars who were awarded this prize in years past. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to make the following brief remarks: As a child born to a refugee family, I firmly believe that each one of us is blessed with having an opportunity, a chance, a probability, to succeed in our chosen endeavor. I believe we are born with this opportunity and that we as individuals can work towards capturing it and, if we make the right decisions, we can grow and thrive. In other words, our ability to transform ourselves lies within us. I sincerely believe that this opportunity and the chance to succeed live in all of us. It is part of our DNA no matter who we are and where we come from. In my remarks here today, I wish to say something to those who may face at some point slim odds of success in their life, those who start at the lower rungs of the ladder, and those who experience difficulty and may feel sidelined by life’s twists and turns. I stand before you as a product of those slim odds and of a life of hardship such odds entail.
