I had the privilege of receiving the H.J. Bhabha Memorial Award and the Bhabha Medal on January 7, 2023, at RTM Nagpur University, Nagpur. The award was presented to me by Nobel Laureate Prof. Ada Yonath from Israel, who was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Prof. Yonath is pictured at the center of the photograph, wearing a mask.
Also present were Prof. Vijay Laxmi Saxena, President of the 108th Indian Science Congress, and Mrs. Vijayalaxmi (IAS), Commissioner of Nagpur, who can be seen standing behind me in the picture.
This proud moment was captured and featured in the Times of India, Nagpur edition, on January 8, 2023. It was truly an unforgettable milestone in my professional journey.
