Chandigarh, October 23, 2015: Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry (2009), Prof Venkatraman Ramakrishnan would interact with select Group of meritorious school students at Panjab University (PU) Auditorium at the PU Campus on January 4.
PU Vice Chancellor (VC) Prof Arun Kumar Grover gave this information while talking to media persons here today. Prof Grover recalled the association of Prof Ramakrishnan with PU as a summer school student at the Department of Physics in June 1969.
Prof Grover informed that Prof Venkatraman Ramakrishnan would visit the Chandigarh Region Innovation & Knowledge Cluster (CRIKC) institutions from January 3 to January 5.
He would address the colloquium on January 3 at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Mohali. On January 4th, Prof Ramakrishnan would visit BMS Block Sector 25, Physics Department Sector 14 of PU campus. At Physics Department, Prof Ramakrishnan would interact with INSPIRE faculty at PU.
On January 4 Prof Ramakrishnan would address the school students of 1st and 2nd INSPIRE camp and their parents at the PU main auditorium. Hargobind Khorana scholars from schools of Punjab would also get the opportunity to attend the lecture. On January 5, Prof Ramakrishnan would visit PGIMER, Chandigarh.
It may be recalled that PU had earlier decided to bestow PU’s Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa) on Prof Ramakrishnan but he had expressed his regrets and inability to participate in the Convocation. However, he had informed the PU VC Prof Grover that whenever he will be in India, he would visit PU for delivering one or more talks and interacting with students and young scientists./ (SK Vyas, Jalandhar)
