Scotland has honoured Maharishi Sushruta, revered as the 'Father of Surgery,' with the unveiling of a statue at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. The tribute celebrates India’s rich medical heritage and centuries-old contributions to the field of surgery
Believed to have lived around 600 BCE, Sushruta authored the Sushruta Samhita, an ancient text detailing surgical procedures, medical instruments and techniques, including some of the earliest documented examples of reconstructive and plastic surgery. The statue was installed on the initiative of UK-based Indian-origin surgeon Prof. Chandra Cheruvu, marking a significant recognition of Sushruta’s enduring global legacy

Today, Dr. #LawrenceBanks, Director-General,
@ICGEB , inaugurated new research facilities at the
@ICGEBNewDelhicampus, marking a significant milestone in strengthening advanced Biotech infrastructure. He was accompanied by Dr. @ramesh_sonti , Director, @ICGEBNewDelhi, along with faculty members and administrative staff. The newly launched state-of-the-art Plant Growth Facility will enable precise control of environmental conditions such as temp, humidity & light, providing researchers with a highly regulated setting to study plant performance & stress responses. The Algal Scale-Up & Bioprocessing Facility (ASPIRE) will accelerate the development & demonstration of scalable algal technologies for carbon capture & the production of high-value bio-based products, advancing sustainable biotechnology solutions. During the visit, Dr. Banks also visited the recently refurbished residential hostel block and handed over the keys to resident students, reaffirming #ICGEB’s commitment not only to cutting-edge research but also to strengthening campus infrastructure and student well-being.
Thank you VGMF for the great opportunity... Looking forward to a great discussion and to my babystep towards guiding younger generation on National Science Day.... 😀
