Mahendralal was a patriot and a nationalist. His dream was to establish a research institute similar to the Royal Society of London where the Indians could do research in basic science. Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science
By training, Mahendralal Sircar was an allopath. He passed the MD examination from the Calcutta University in 1859 and very soon established himself as a leading allopath in the city. Though initially, Dr Sircar used to criticize homoeopathy severely, yet in the later years, he became interested in the field. He gave up allopathy and embraced homoeopathy for the rest of his life. His patients included Sri Ramkrishna Paramhansa, the master of Swami Vivekananda.

Catalysis is an area of chemical sciences which has fascinated a wide range of academicians, researchers, chemical technologists and industries throughout the world. Progress in this field has been made owing to the thrust provided by this research and commercial interest. The field of catalysis is interdisciplinary by its nature, as it requires knowledge of organic synthesis, coordination and organometallic chemistry, reaction kinetics and mechanisms, stereo-chemical concepts and materials science.
Fundamentals and Prospects of Catalysis highlights many important topics and sub-disciplines in catalysis by presenting 7 chapters on different but varied catalytic processes. This volume presents the following topics: Organocatalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Spiroacetals and Bridged Acetals

The Covid-infested year 2020 began with the construction completed of the world’s biggest cricket stadium in Gujarat’s largest city of Ahmedabad with the capacity to seat 110,000 spectators. The end of the year saw the Indian team being bowled out by Australia at Adelaide for its lowest-ever score in Test cricket.
The foundation-stone for the world’s largest renewable energy park was laid in Gujarat’s district of Kutch by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 15, just five days before Team India set its dubious record at Adelaide. The hybrid renewable energy park, which will utilize both solar and wind power, will generate 38,000 megawatts of power and will come up within five year
