Dozens of scientists invited from abroad go unpaid -GS Mudur

With the funds blocked, I’ve been unable to pay some suppliers who want to be paid before they supply again, says a scientist

Dozens of scientists who had been invited from positions abroad to join academic institutions across India under a prestigious government fellowship have not received research grants or salaries for months, the fellows and other scientists have said.

The delay in the release of funds for the Ramalingaswami Fellowships, managed by the Union science ministry’s department of biotechnology (DBT), has meant personal hardship for many of the fellows and, in some instances, stalled their research efforts.

The fellowships, launched in 2007-08, are intended to get scientists with a PhD or an MD who are in post-doctoral positions outside India and are working in biological sciences — including biotechnology, bioengineering and agriculture, or health care — to join academic institutions in the country.

The fellowship is named after the late Vulimiri Ramalingaswami, a pathologist and director-general of the Indian Council of Medical Research, who was one of India’s most regarded health researchers and died in 2001.
