Homi J Bhabha: A Renaissance Man among Scientists
by Biman Nath
About the book : This compelling monograph brings to light the life and times of Homi Jehangir Bhabha. It outlines the story of his life, his early work on cosmic rays which remained a lifelong obsession, his struggles to translate theories into experiments, and his achievements. This deeply evocative work portrays Bhabha’s visionary foresight in anticipating the urgent need for high-quality facilities in India to pursue research on nuclear energy. It also speaks of his passionate interest in art and architecture, drawing and painting, and his love for classical music, which made him stand out as a renaissance man among scientists.

History and Heritage: The Afterlife of Monuments
Hampi-Vijayanagara: Its Life and Afterlives
Illustrated lecture by Dr. Anila Verghese, art historian and educationist, Chairperson and Trustee, Society for Higher Education of Women in India; Director, Sophia Polytechnic, Mumbai and former Principal of Sophia College for Women, Mumbai
Introduction: Dr. Himanshu Prabha Ray
Chair: Prof. Anna Dallapiccola
Hampi is today one of the most famous tourist destinations in peninsular India; it is also a UNESCO world heritage site. This lecture will touch briefly on the various stages in the life and afterlives of this site. The first half of the lecture focuses briefly on the pre-Vijayanagara existence of the site as a tirtha; then its development as a large urban complex between the mid-fourteenth and the mid-sixteenth centuries CE, especially the first half of the sixteenth when it served as the capital of the Vijayanagara empire. The first important phase in its ‘afterlife’ was that of Hampi as an archaeological site. The next phase is of Hampi as predominantly a ‘heritage site’ and the present phase is of it largely as a ‘tourist site’.
“Who is a Vaishnav Jan
PHYSICAL PROGRAMME
Theme: 'Vaishnav Jan To Tene Kahiye' became a signature song of the Indian freedom struggle. It reflected the yearning of the anti colonial struggle, the yearning to fashion a new self, both individual and collective. But this search did not end with the end of colonial rule. The question who is a vaishnva jan can be treated as a religious question but it is also a civic quest. What makes a vaishnva jan, what is the struggle an individual or a society will have to wage to attain it ?
Speakers: Prof Ashis Nandy, Social Theorist, Critic and Former Director, CSDS ; Shri Ashok Vajpeyi, Former Chairman, Lalit Kala Akademi and Poet ; Prof Neera Chandhoke, Former Professor, Dept. of Political Science, Delhi University ; Shri Kumar Prashant, Chairman, Gandhi Peace Foundation ; Prof Apoorvanand, Professor, Department of Hindi, Faculty of Arts, Delhi University

Release of the Report and Keynote Address: Dr. G.R. Chintala, Chairman, NABARD

Farm loan waivers (FLWs) have been announced by the Union and State Governments several times in the last few decades. Some states have even announced multiple loan waivers in successive years. Favourable electoral results for the announcing political parties have somehow provided political legitimacy to these waivers over the years. However, despite waivers, the distress of Indian farmers continues. This is in addition to the damage these waivers have done to the credit culture in the country. With this background, this study, sponsored by NABARD, was conducted in Maharashtra, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. It traces the FLWs and assesses the impact on state governments, financial institutions and farmers
