    Historic day as Asafoetida cultivation starts in India for the first time. Despite essential ingredient of most Indian cuisine, it's all imported. Thanks to @CSIR_IHBT this is going to change. @AgriGoI @CSIR_IND @icarindia

    Found somewhere on the web, so I'm obviously plagiarising, can't quote the source because I don't know it. But so useful, and so true. Whosoever came up with this :-)

    1/n Rarely has any field of enquiry in contemporary science started in India. Molecular Biophysics is an unique exception. GN Ramachandran, also known affectionately as GNR, initiated this field in the then Madras in early 1950's.

    Today Hon'ble PM asked the scientific community to come up with a vaccine to fight this virus. CSIR has launched a major sequencing drive to understand the viral strains infecting India. This is the first step towards developing a cure. @IGIBSocial @ccmb_csir @CSIR_IND @PMOIndia
