@dasgobardhan Heartiest congratulations!!

हमारे देश के यशस्वी प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी के नेतृत्व में ही यह संभव है कि एक पिछड़े शोषित किसान के बेटे को गले लगाया और यह सम्मान दिया है। आज बंगाल के हर के नागरिक के लिए गर्व की बात है कि मेरे जैसे एक साधारण व्यक्ति को नीति आयोग में सदस्य के रूप में काम करने का सुअवसर मिला है l आपके इस आशीर्वाद से पूरा बंगाल गौरान्वित महसूस कर रहा है। इसके लिए प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी मैं आपका बहुत आभारी हूं l आपके विकसित भारत के सपने को साकार के लिए आपके मार्गदर्शन में, मैं ईमानदारी, लगन और पूरी ज़िम्मेदारी के साथ काम करने का संकल्प लेता हूँ। पंक्ति में खड़े अंतिम व्यक्ति के लिए काम करना मेरे जीवन का उद्देश्य है l @narendramodi @PMOIndia @AmitShah @HMOIndia @NITIAayog #सबकासाथ_सबकाविकास_सबकाविश्वास_सबकाप्रयास #विकसितभारत #नीतिआयोग

@karandi65 @ANRFIndia Heartiest congratulations !!

Thank you, Sir. It has been an honor to work under your guidance all these years in operationalising some of the transformative initiatives like National Quantum Mission #NQM, @ANRFIndia and Research, Development and Innovation #RDI Fund among many other flagship programs of @IndiaDST. @DrJitendraSingh

#MFF Founder Rahul Mehta recently joined the Mehta Rice Engineering Scholars 2026 for a networking lunch at #RiceUniversity. Hearing where they've come from & where they're headed is a reminder that investing in people and not just programs is what creates lasting impact.

Our team recently visited the construction site of the Mehta Family School of Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, IIT Roorkee to witness firsthand the infrastructure taking shape for what will become a hub for AI & data science education and research. #MehtaFamilyFoundation

Being discussed is the urgent need of setting up various lab facilities - simulation, navigation, and digital twin labs; and the future of manned-unmanned systems to aim towards making the country a Global South leader in the next decade. #MFF #SpaceEducation @IAF_MCC

An AAAS Fellow and Fulbright-Nehru Scholar, he has delivered the 2023 Keeling Lecture, won R&D 100 Awards, and mentored 70+ researchers. He now focuses on cross-sector work in energy, sustainability, and national security. #advisor #research #earthscience #environmentalscience

Welcome Dr. Manvendra Dubey to the #CAREAdvisory team at #MehtaFamilyFoundation. A Fellow at LANL with a Ph.D. from Harvard & IIT Kanpur President’s Gold Medalist, he brings 30+ years in climate science - greenhouse gases, climate models & the Four Corners methane hotspot. #MFF

From navigating conversations with international delegates (slightly intimidating) to his favorite moment: picking up our Founder Rahul Mehta from the airport, Kavin Chakaravarthy shares his CARE Conference 2025 volunteer journey. youtu.be/WzoVNd7gwAY

His lab works at the intersection of #syntheticbiology, protein engineering, MRI & biophysics, pioneering genetic tools for cancer & neurological therapies. He brings a unique perspective on building #research capacity & supporting the next generation.

A special welcome to Dr. Arnab Mukherjee as he joins the CARE Advisory team at #MFF. An Associate Professor at UC Santa Barbara, he was among the early alumni of the Bhupat & Jyoti Mehta School of Biosciences at @iitmadras - the Foundation's first institutional partnership.

The future belongs to those who explore beyond boundaries. Mehta Family Foundation is proud to support the growth of space science education and the innovators shaping tomorrow. #FutureReady #Space #Innovation #MFF
