Late
Mrs Lata R Kulkarni
(1931-2007) was, is and will
continue to be the spirit and soul of Lata Medical research Foundation.
As reflected by the serene face, calm expression and resolute
determination she personified the true values of LMRF in particular and
of life in general. An elegant litterateur of Marathi , she was
passionate about the use and usage of the language. It was her focused
vision, her extremely cool temperament and the desire to succeed in life
in the face of and in spite of adversities that she has passed on as
legacy to the LMRF members. The LMRF owes its existence and its current
name in the field of medical research to the far-reaching and powerful
vision of Mrs. Kulkarni. In one and all, she inspired a flicker of a
will to succeed and enthused them all with the 'stop not till thy goal
is reached'-philosophy. She has helped LMRF grow at the expense of some
personal sacrifices that - in respect of her own wish - remain unknown
to many a people, including the LMRF members. She will, by way of the
fond thoughts and warm wishes, continue to reside in the realm of
medical research and of social ethos. |
Late Dr. P. W. Amin was an agriculturist by profession and a practical scientist by temperament. Born in Morshi, he obtained his doctorate from University of California at Berkeley. After serving as a scientist in ICRISAT and publishing more than 50 peer-reviewed research papers, he was appointed as the Vice-Chancellor of the reputed University - Punjabrao Krishi Vidyapeeth. He established an NGO called NAADEM in 1993 which was instrumental in linking agricultural research institutes and farmers through its commitment to the dissemination of crop-production technologies, ensuring sustainable productivity in farmers' holdings. NAADEM undertook comprehensive planning to bring about overall village development. When Dr. Amin passed away in 2006, NAADEM was successful in revolutionizing the farming practices of Vidarbha region and many parts of Maharashtra. Dr. Amin’s dedication and commitment for the advancement of scienLce was also enjoyed by LMRF. One of the founder members of Lata Medical research Foundation, he was instrumental in forming and shaping the philosophy of LMRF - research for the benefit of all. His presence then was immensely valuable and his absence now is greatly missed. |
