Borlaug award

Posted by Subhra Priyadarshini | Categories: Agriculture, Award, Careers, Environment, Geoscience

This week saw another alumnus of the Presidency College, fondly called the Oxford of the East, do India proud by bagging Rockefeller Foundation’s first ever Borlaug Field Award, which has been constituted to recognise young researchers helping farmers and hungry people around the world through science.

Some of the plenary talks saw standing crowds.
