Recently hit 10K followers! Grateful for the connection & support over the years. But can’t ignore how Indian #AcademicTwitter is slowly fading - fewer people, less engagement, more silence. Where are the vibrant discussions, the dissent, camaraderies? Let’s revive it 🙏.

Yes! A significant step in improvement of RnD ecosystem. Looking forward to timely disbursal of funds and fellowship as next steps in ease of research.
We must also ensure that our scientific workforce—PhD students and postdoctoral fellows—receive uninterrupted fellowships throughout the duration of their training. @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @IndiaDST @ICMRDELHI @PrinSciAdvGoI @insa_academy @IAScBng .
