During a short trip to Pune, I visited the Agharkar Research Institute (ARI), Pune @ari_pune, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology @IndiaDST. Established in 1946 as the Maharashtra Association for the Cultivation of Science (MACS), the institute was renamed in 1992 in honour of its founder Director, Prof. S. P. Agharkar.
Visited ICAR–National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms (NBAIM), Mau, Uttar Pradesh, and attended the 21st meeting of the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) on 16 December 2025. It was amazing experience of interacting with scientists and students.

An engaging and insightful session on “Respect at Workplace” was successfully held on 12 December 2025 at the ARI Auditorium as part of POSH Awareness Week.
The lecture by Adv. Divya Chavan-Jachak, also a member of ARI’s Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), encouraged open dialogue and enhanced understanding of respectful, safe, and inclusive work environments.
The interactive discussion and active participation made the programme truly impactful, reinforcing ARI’s commitment to fostering dignity and professionalism at the workplace.
