Dear Professor Rao,

I have great pleasure in letting you know that you have been
elected a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Please
accept my warmest congratulations!

Since its inception in 1934, nearly 2000 of the leading
scientists of India (as well as some from outside India) have
been elected Fellows of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Along
with the other academies of the country, our Academy plays a
major role in furthering the cause of science in the country.
Accordingly, Fellows of the Academy not only act as
spokespersons for their disciplines, but also for science.

The Academy publishes 10 scientific journals on different
subjects. Every year two meetings are held; the mid-year
meeting in July, usually held in Bengaluru, and an annual
meeting held around November in different parts of the country.
Apart from this, the Academy also organizes several discussion
meetings on important topics of scientific interest. Detailed
information of these activities is available on our website.

In order to encourage talented young scientists, the Academy
has a programme of selecting a few outstanding among them as
Associates each year. The Academy also has an extensive and
active science education programme in which the Fellowship and
the scientific community of the country play an important role.

Your participation in the activities of the Academy and your
help in promoting its programmes will be crucial, and I look
forward to your active involvement. I also look forward to
seeing you at the next meeting of the Academy.

With best wishes for a very happy New Year 2017, and with my
personal regards,

Sincerely,



Ram Ramaswamy
