Endowment Chair in the field of “Transnational Research in Bio Sciences” in the School of Biosciences (SBS)

Swami Rama Himalayan University has created an Endowment Chair in the field of “Transnational Research in Bio Sciences” in the School of Biosciences (SBS) with an objective to create lead research in Bio Sciences towards the product development. The Endowment Chair has been established through a joint sponsorship by Shri Shirin Vidhya Venkat Ramani, Pune and Swami Rama Himalayan University. Modus operandi of the Chair will be governed, as per the SOP formulated and enacted by the University. The chair come into force from 16.06.2023.

The chair is being jointly funded by Shri Shirin Vidhya Venkat Ramani, Pune for an amount of INR 50,00,000 and Swami Rama Himalayan University INR 50,00,000 amounting to 1,00,00,000 (one crore only).
