It is good to see that Ananthasuresh got the bhatnagar award in spite of hist short stay at IISc Bangalore. Other people slogged out in IISc and got much much better paper during their long stay! May be, the papers of Ananthasuresh during his short stay at IISc are pioneering papers! That shows that we all should publish quality paper (not quantity)| but these are all judged by Indian peers! We should ask these judges how they define quality vs quantity! A few years back a bhatnagar award in engineering went to a scientist with 5 publications from the parent institute! Those judges defined them good and best!
These days Bhatnagar mostly goes by connections! You need to know right people..You may have 100-200 papers or you may have 20-30 papers...No matter, you need to feed those guys..How? It is a good research topic ``Bhatnagar award vs netwroking''' Good people do get it...but they also have some backing? Otherwise impossible...
The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize 2010 in Biological Sciences goes to Chromatin Assembly and Neurobiology Research. The awardees being Dr.Sanjeev Galande of NCCS,Pune(Presently on sabbatical at IISER,Pune) and Dr.Shuba Tole of TIFR,Mumbai.
One of the prize winners from IISc. is Prof.G.K.Anantha Suresh who works in the Dept.of Mechanical Engineering.Interestingly,one of the research interest of Prof.Anantha Suresh is the in the field of biodesign which includes micromanipulation and protein sequence design/modeling.
