A fine initiative …

Department of Biotechnology has produced documentary films to keep on record the unsung, if not entirely forgotten, achievements of some of the great Indian scientists. They named the series “Written Out Of History – Forgotten Indian Scientists” – a commendable initiative, and does so much resonate with our own little effort toward similar end when we went on to make the film on Dr Dilip Mahalanabis.

Today we are happy to share two such films, on Dr Sambhu Nath De and Dr Sipra Guha Mukherjee respectively – two scientists from slightly different era, different cities, different branches of life science and uniquely inspirational in their own way.
