जिसे हम सदियों से आस्था की आँखों से देखते आए थे, अब विज्ञान ने उसकी पुष्टि कर दी है। प्रयागराज के संगम को हमेशा से गंगा, यमुना और अदृश्य सरस्वती के मिलन का स्थान माना गया है। एक त्रिवेणी, जिसमें दो नदियाँ दिखती थीं, और तीसरी सिर्फ़ श्रद्धा में बहती थी। अब हैदराबाद के CSIR-नेशनल जियोफ़िज़िकल रिसर्च इंस्टिट्यूट (NGRI) के वैज्ञानिकों ने इस पौराणिक मान्यता को एक ठोस वैज्ञानिक आधार दे दिया है। हेलीकॉप्टर से किए गए एयरबोर्न सर्वे और ज़मीन पर की गई कन्फ़र्मेटरी ड्रिलिंग के बाद, डॉ. सुभाष चंद्र की टीम ने पुष्टि की है कि गंगा और यमुना के बीच, ज़मीन से 10 से 15 मीटर नीचे, एक विशाल प्राचीन नदी दबी हुई है। इसकी चौड़ाई, गहराई और आधार स्तर, तीनों गंगा और यमुना के बराबर हैं। यानी यह कोई छोटी सहायक धारा नहीं थी। यह स्वयं एक मुख्य नदी थी। विज्ञान इसे "पेलियो रिवर" कहता है। आस्था इसे सरस्वती कहती है। दोनों एक ही सच की ओर इशारा कर रहे हैं। प्रयागराज अब सिर्फ़ आस्था का संगम नहीं रहा, यह विज्ञान और परंपरा का भी संगम बन गया है। जहाँ हज़ारों वर्षों की स्मृति, और आज की तकनीक, एक ही कहानी कहती हैं। माँ सरस्वती कभी सूखी नहीं थीं। बस छिप गई थीं। और आज, फिर से सामने आ रही हैं। पूरी खबर : intdy.in/fpwio0

Feeling so very proud. It’s 2nd in two days from PASS lab. Congratulations on attaining the title from Mr. To Dr ⁦@sumantamohapa15⁩ . An incredible young researcher and a superb human being. Sumo you rock! ⁦@CSIR_IHBT⁩ ⁦@CSIR_IND⁩

@sumantamohapa15 @vivekmolbio Many congratulations sir

Though journey was difficult, but I learnt something. I always owe to my mentor @vivekmolbio , friends, family. #PASS lab members.

Please consider attending this conference in the Swiss Alps meetings.embo.org/event/26-plant… . Exciting science & great venue, lots of opportunities for selected talks from abstracts.

@vivekmolbio @ghosh_dipanshu @CSIR_IHBT Many congratulations sir

Feeling Proud. Finally! from Mr. To Dr. ! Congratulations @ghosh_dipanshu for attaining the title. The first one from #PASS Lab @CSIR_IHBT

@ghosh_dipanshu @CSIR_IHBT @AcSIR_India @vivekmolbio Many congregations sir

I am glad to share that I have successfully defended my PhD work at @CSIR_IHBT, registered under @AcSIR_India. I am grateful to my supervisor Dr. @vivekmolbio sir for his timely support and guidance. I would thank my seniors, lab mates, parents and family for their support 😊

@RohitJo24618183 Many congratulations sir

We used CRISPR-Cas9 to create a new tomato cultivar for vertical farming by editing SlGA20ox genes. A volumetric model with deep learning achieved 84% accuracy in identifying mutants, advancing AI-based phenotyping. Details: doi.org/10.1016/j.plap…

It was a pleasure to be part of the New Phytologist Workshop on “Molecular Mechanisms of Light-Regulated Plant Development” at @iiserbhopal. The workshop featured engaging discussions on plant molecular biology, light signaling mechanisms, and advance research @pcdb_lab_iiserb

Delighted to share our research findings on the development of a P. kurroa-specific nutrient solution and hormonal regulation to enhance picrosides content. Congratulations to the authors @kanika39127361 @Ashrita11425951 @Shivshanker21 @sharmadinesh82. link.springer.com/article/10.100….

@vivekmolbio @sumantamohapa15 @ghosh_dipanshu Congratulations sir

Isolating intact chloroplasts from metabolites-rich plant species is challenging. Here we present a reliable method applicable in almost all plant species. #Tea #Stevia Kudos to team ⁦@sumantamohapa15⁩ ⁦@ghosh_dipanshu⁩ Shagun ⁦ link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@sumantamohapa15 Congratulations sir..

New work from our #PASS LAB. An improved method for isolating chloroplast in intact form. It enables isolation from monocot and model dicot plants also from metabolites rich plants species with limited leaf tissue. Please have a look👇
