FOUNDING OF THE ACADEMY
The Year Book 2023 v
INTRODUCTION
The Indian National Science Academy was established in January 1935 with the object of promoting
science in India and harnessing scientific knowledge for the cause of humanity and national welfare.
The foundation of the Academy, earlier known as the National Institute of Sciences of India (NISI),
was the outcome of joint endeavours of several organizations and individuals and the Indian Science
Congress Association (ISCA) playing a leading role in this regard.
Towards the end of 1930, the then Government of India wrote to various State (then provincial)
Governments, Scientific Departments, Learned Societies, Universities and the ISCA seeking their
opinion on the desirability of forming a National Research Council which would adhere to and
cooperate with the International Research Council and its affiliated Unions. This period witnessed the
visit of Sir Richard Gregor, the Editor of Nature for discussions with the Editor of Current Science
for the promotion of an Indian Academy of Sciences. The proposal was considered by various eminent
scientists whose views regarding the composition and functioning of such a national council were put
up in the form of resolution to the ISCA during its Pune Session. A special meeting of ISCA was held
in Mumbai in January 1934 to consider the scheme. In response to the plea made by the President of
the ISCA, Professor MN Saha in support of an Indian Academy of Sciences on the model of the
Royal Society, London, the General Committee of the ISCA unanimously accepted the proposal for the
formation of a national scientific society. The Committee formed an ‘Academy Committee’, which was
requested to submit a detailed report for consideration at the next session of the ISCA. The committee
submitted the report in January 1935 incorporating (i) the aims and objects of the national scientific
society to be formed; (ii) draft constitution; (iii) names of 125 Foundation Fellows selected by a Special
Committee of Specialists; and (iv) names of 25 scientists as members of the provisional Council of
Academy. The report of the Academy Committee was placed by Dr LL Fermor (President, 22nd Session,
ISCA) before a Special Meeting of the Joint Committee on January 3, 1935. The recommendations of
the Academy Committee were accepted by unanimous resolution by the ISCA and the foundation of
the National Institute of Sciences of India as an all India body of scientists was thus laid. An inaugural
meeting of the National Institute of Sciences of India (NISI) was held on January 7, 1935 under the
Chairmanship of Dr JH Hutton (President, 23rd Session, ISCA) in Calcutta, and the Inaugural Address
was delivered by the first President of NISI, Dr LL Fermor. The Institute, thus, started functioning with
its Headquarters at the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1 Park Street, Calcutta, from that day.
The issue of the Government recognizing the NISI as the representative body of the scientists was
taken up after ten years of its foundation. After due deliberations and discussions, it decided to
recognise the National Institute as the premier scientific society representing all branches of science
in India in October 1945. The Headquarters moved over to Delhi in May 1946, and the Government
commenced providing increased grants to meet expenses on travel, publications, research fellowships,
and for allocating grants-in-aid to other scientific societies for bringing out their publications. A capital
grant for the Headquarters building was also sanctioned in 1948 by the Government. The foundation
stone of the building was laid by Pt Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India, on April 19,
1948. The Office of the NISI moved to its present premises on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi
in 1951. It was designated as the adhering organization in India to the International Council for Science
(ICSU) on behalf of the Government of India in January 1968.
The name of the National Institute of Sciences of India was changed to the Indian National Science
Academy (INSA) in February 1970.

(Effective from 01 January 2023)
Fayer, Michael D (b 12.09.1947), David Mulvane Ehrsam and Edward Curtis Franklin Professor of
Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-5080, USA.
Professor Fayer opened a new era of spectroscopic research on the dynamics of complex molecular
materials by his ground-breaking ultrafast nonlinear experiments. He expanded the field from visible
to infrared multidimensional techniques, pursuing fundamentally important problems. His work in the
visible and IR spread widely, stimulating and extending the fields.
John, Sajeev Oommen (b 04.04.1957), University Professor, Department of Physics, University of

Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M5S1A7, Canada.
Professor Sajeev John invented the concept of classical wave localization and photon localization.
His “photon-atom bound state” has allowed for the emergence of a new paradigm in quantum
electrodynamics. Professor John’s invention and development of light trapping crystals has led to life-
saving laser surgeries using photonic band gap fibers. His numerical demonstration of flexible thin-film
silicon, photonic crystal solar cells has shown unprecedented power conversion efficiency, beyond 30%
and sparked intense innovation in the photovoltaics community. This is revolutionary in our battle
against climate change.
Knust, Elisabeth (b 09.01.1951), Professor Dr. Rer. Nat, Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Cell
Biology and Genetics, Pfotenhauerstr, 108, 01307 Dresden, Germany.
Professor Knust’s work focuses on questions of cell polarity and how this is established during
development and maintained during homeostasis to guarantee the cell’s functions. She studied mainly
three cell types in Drosophila: epithelia cells, neuronal stem cells, and photoreceptor cells with the
aim to unravel the mechanisms by which multiprotein complexes become asymmetrically localized, to
determine the role of their individual components, and to understand how these membrane–associated
protein complexes control polarized cell function. She has made seminal contributions to elucidate basic
principles of the function of two important, evolutionarily conserved protein complexes, the Crumbs-
and the Par- complex. Her work is also directly relevant for medicine, shown by the fact that mutations
in some of the genes involved in cell polarity and splicing lead to blindness in flies and zebrafish.
McNutt, Marcia Kemper (b 19.02.1952), President, National Academy of Sciences, 505 5th St. NW,
NAS 215, Washington, DC, 20001, USA.
Professor McNutt made fundamental contributions to what are now viewed as accepted theories of
how plates deform under loading on geologic time scales. Later, she played a leadership role confronting
the challenges of estimating the leak rate of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and helping to contain the
blowout. She took the lead in publishing the new methods that she and her collaborators developed that
became essential tools in the growing field of disaster response science. She also launched the Strategic
Sciences Group, which was codified into the US government’s disaster response, and reactivated for
Superstorm Sandy and other emergencies.
Withers, Philip John (b 11.05.1963), Regius Professor of Materials, University of Manchester, Royce
Hub Building, Manchester, M139PL, United Kingdom.
Professor Withers’ has pioneered the use of neutron, synchrotron X-ray diffraction and correlative
tomography linking X-ray and electron imaging techniques, to follow the behaviour of engineering and
natural materials in real time and in three- dimensions across different length scales, often as they operate
under demanding conditions. He is one of the leading experts on the measurement of, and the effect
of, residual stresses on the performance of engineering materials. His work on residual stress mapping
across different length scales, has supported the safe introduction of solid state welding processes by
Rolls-Royce and others. His work has shed new light on the mechanisms of ductile failure, fracture,
fatigue, thermochemical cycling and the corrosion/degradation of metals and alloys, composites and
coatings.

19. Dr Subhojoy Gupta (08.02.1983), PhD, Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of

Science, Bangalore.
Subhojoy Gupta’s main research area is the geometry of Riemann surfaces. More specifically,
Gupta’s work concerns understanding parameter spaces of Riemann surfaces with additional
geometric structures. A point of the Teichmüller space T_g, g>1, is a compact connected marked
genus g Riemann surface S. The space of quadratic differentials on S may be identified with
the cotangent space of T_g at S. A major theme of the work of Subhojoy deals with relation
among several geometric objects that arise in the theory of Riemann surfaces, namely, projective
structures on S, the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on S, the space of measured
foliations on S with “crown structures” and the Teichmüller space of such S. In a significant
Academy Awards 249
work, he has shown that the Teichmüller space is not biholomorphic to a bounded symmetric

34. Dr Saraswati Nayar (19.01.1986), PhD, Division of Plant Molecular Biology, Rajiv Gandhi
Centre for Biotechnology, Thiruvananthapuram.
Dr Nayar demonstrated for the first time the LONELY GUY, a putative cytokinin activating
enzyme, has a role in cell division, cell growth, and chloroplast function of Chlorella. LONELY
GUY’s overexpression led to the formation of a stay-green phenotype and a high biomass-
producing strain in Chlorella. She also characterized a MADS box transcription factor (TF) for
the first time in Coccomyxa subellipsoidea, a unicellular green microalga. She discovered that this TF
homodimerizes to localize precisely in the nucleus.
35. Dr Venkatesh Rajendran (04.05.1987), PhD, Department of Mathematics, IISc, Bengaluru.
The area of specialisation of R. Venkatesh is Kac-Moody algebras and their representations.

He obtained a uniqueness theorem for tensor products of irreducible integrable highest weight
representations of symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras, vastly generalising the result for finite
dimensional simple Lie algebras obtained by C S Rajan. He obtained a formula for the root
multiplicities of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra in terms of the chromatic polynomial
of its Dynkin graph. As a consequence, the chromatic polynomial is related to the q-Kostant
partition formula. He later generalized this result to the case of Borcherds algebra. Venkatesh
obtained a generalisation of a result of G Fourier and P Littelmann concerning fusion product
of Demazure submodules of certain integrable highest weight module over an affine Kac-Moody
algebra associated to a finite dimensional semi simple Lie algebra. Recently he has developed a
Borel-de Siebenthal theory of maximal closed subroot systems for affine reflections system. In
the case of real affine Lie algebras, a complete classification of maximal closed subroot system
has been obtained.
36. Dr K Sony Reddy (15.08.1986), PhD, School of Biotechnology, KIIT University, Bhubaneswar.
Dr. K. Sony Reddy has made outstanding contributions in the biology of malarial parasite
infection. Most significant contribution is on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of erythrocyte
invasion by Plasmodium falciparum. He demonstrated the existence of the essential parasite
ligand pfRH5 on the parasite surface in the form of multiprotein complex consisting of two
proteins one of them being CyRPA. Most importantly, he demonstrated that CyRPA antibodies
potently neutralized the parasite by abrogating complex formation, suggesting this as a potential
target.
37. Dr Anand Sawant (02.09.1987), PhD, School of Mathematics TIFR, Mumbai.
Anand Sawant works in the emerging area of A^1 homotopy theory. He has made important
progress in recasting this highly abstract theory in terms of relatively concrete geometric concepts.
In 2015 Anand, along with Hogadi and Balwe, constructed counterexamples to a conjecture of
Asok-Morel regarding the notion of connected components in A^1 homotopy theory. His work
with Balwe sheds new light on the important case of anisotropic groups, and is a key input in
the characterisation of anisotropic groups in terms of the failure of homotopy invariance of
torsors. In another pair of works with Balwe, Anand studies in detail A^1 connected components
of birationally ruled surfaces, thereby proving a conjecture of Morel in this context. His recent
work with Balwe and Hogadi, is about the interaction of R-equivalence with homotopy theory
for norm varieties, and presents a refinement of a result on 0-cycles for these varieties due to
Karpenko-Merkurjev.

species. Her research work marks an important effort on the ecology of this primate species,
in particular with reference to its role in seed dispersal and recruitment of forest species. Her
research confirmed that gut-digested seeds from the rhesus macaque readily germinate and are
protected from fungal and other pest attacks. Dr Sengupta has quantified the impact of providing
food subsidies to wildlife on their ecological functions. She has demonstrated that large-scale
deforestation or environmental pollution can modify ecosystem structure and function which is
comparable to a seemingly benign action such as human feeding of wildlife.
39. Dr Aakansha Sharma (08.03.1993), PhD, Department of Zoology, University of Delhi, Delhi.
Dr Aakansha Sharma has made important contributions to our understanding of transcriptome-

wide changes and overall molecular differences between crucial seasonal metabolic and
reproductive life-history states of birds. Several of her research findings are novel to our

INDIAN NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR

HISTORY OF SCIENCE
The work for compilation of History of Sciences in India was started at the Asiatic Society, Calcutta in
1960 under the supervision of History of Science Board with Dr AC Ukil, FNA, the past-President of
the Academy, as Chairman. The programme was sponsored by the Indian National Science Academy,
the then National Institute of Sciences of India (NISI) and the necessary fund was sanctioned by the
Government of India. In 1964, a deputation from the Academy headed by Dr HJ Bhabha, FNA met
the then Education Minister, Mr MC Chagla to clarify the matter concerning the enlargement of the
scope of History of Science Board and formation of a National Commission for the same purpose. As
regards objectives of the National Commission, Professor DM Bose, FNA, the then Co-Chairman of
the History of Science Board had recorded as follows:
While special importance was given to the writings of the history of sciences in India, it was also recognized that history
of science should be the subject of continuous study which the Indian Universities should be invited to take up later. For
encouraging such studies, the sponsoring body, the National Institute should receive from the Government of India annual
grants to be disbursed by the National Commission for the Compilation of History of Sciences in India. The Commission
would appoint whole-time Professors and Readers to conduct research as well as supervise the work of research scholars
and technical assistants. By such means a cadre of science historians would be trained from which the universities might
be able to recruit staff for their history of science departments. (Ref Indian Journal of History of Science, Preface p.i,
1966).
The Commission was set up in 1965 with 21 members from all over India consisting of scientists,
historians, indologists and the President of the Academy as Chairman. The work of the Commission
was however restricted to the supervision, compilation and publication of studies. A Journal, Indian
Journal of History of Science (IJHS), was also set up in order to stimulate contributions from investigators
of different disciplines. In 1989, while assessing the progress report of the different research projects
relating to ancient, medieval and modern periods, members of the Advisory Boards/National
Commission felt that the Academy has done a laudable work in organization of research, systematic
collection of sources and publication programme during the last 25 years. It was suggested that there is
need for changing the name of the Commission creating and extending scope for study of History of
Science from international perspective. The workshop made a unanimous suggestion that the name of
the ‘National Commission for the Compilation of History of Sciences in India’ may be modified to the
Indian National Commission for History of Science. In addition to other objectives already underlined under
the programme, interpretation, critical evaluation of facts and publication of important materials were
also emphasized. Till the year 2003, the work of the Commission was coordinated by three advisory
boards for ancient, medieval and modern periods. This is now being coordinated by a 12 member
Research Council. The quarterly Indian Journal of History of Science (IJHS), the other important organ of
the Commission of History of Science, started its publication since 1966. An Editorial Board is also
reconstituted periodically for its smooth functioning.
Science and Society 269

PUBLICATIONS
Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy, Indian Journal of Science History, and Indian
Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics are among the Academy’s publications. The Academy also
publishes its Year Book, Scientific Reports/Monographs/Seminar Proceedings, INSA News Letter,
and Biographical Memoirs. For all three of the Academy’s journals, INSA had signed a co-publishing
agreement with Springer Nature.
Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy
The first issue of the Proceedings was published in 1935 as a single issue for both Physical and Biological
Sciences. It was split in two series – Part A and Part B in 1955. Six issues of each part were brought out
in a calendar year.
Proceedings, which had earlier been devoted to original research reports in Physical Sciences (Proceedings-Part
A) and in Biological Sciences (Proceedings-Part B) shifted its orientation from January 1998 by publishing
review articles of contemporary scientific interest, evaluating advances and newer approaches in
the concerned fields. They also contain reports from special interest symposia. The emphasis thus
shifted from being vehicles of original research reports into ones of reviews and trends, as well as
of comprehensive summary reports on chosen topics. The Proceedings then concentrated on bringing
out thematic issues on current scientific topics containing invited reviews both from India and abroad
since 2001. From year 2006, the Academy brought out a major change in the Proceedings as the two parts
have been merged into a single volume. Quarterly issues of the Proceedings cover areas under Biological,
Physical, Applied Sciences and also Engineering and are brought out in the months of March, June,
September and December. The Proceedings has been rejuvenated to contain review papers, original
research articles, short communication, commentaries, lateral thinking and emerging techniques etc.
The authors wishing to publish in the Proceedings of the Academy are welcome to submit their papers
which shall be published following the usual standard peer reviewing process.
The Proceedings now includes Reviews, Original Research Articles, Commentaries/Opinion, Meeting
Reports, Book-Reviews etc.
The journal is being co-published with M/s Springer Nature from the year 2021.
Indian Journal of History of Science
The journal is published under the guidance of Indian National Commission for History of Science set
up by the Academy. It was first published in 1966 as biannual and then switched over to quarterly from
1984 onwards. Devoted to studies and researches in various fields of ancient, medieval and modern
Publications 277
science in historical perspective, it is an interesting forum for scientists, historians, sociologists and
philosophers for exchange of their ideas on the evolution and characteristics of scientific concepts
and technological advances. The journal is being co-published with M/s Springer Nature from the year
2021. The journal is freely available at https://insa.nic.in/UI/journaldetails.aspx?AID=Mw==
Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics
The journal is devoted to original research in all areas of Mathematical Sciences. The journal started
as a quarterly publication of the Academy in the year 1970. Due to the growth in the number of
submissions, it was published monthly from 1973. It was a bimonthly publication between 2006 and
2015. Starting from 2016, it has been a quarterly publication. The journal is being co-published with
M/s Springer Nature from the year 2010. The journal is freely available at https://www.insa.nic.in/UI/
