Solan, May 13
Dr. Radha, Assistant Professor at Shoolini University and a Fellow of the Linnean Society (FLS), has been appointed to serve as a Botany Fellow and International Advisory Board Member at Beyt Nahrin – The Mesopotamian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Beyt Nahrin is an international academy dedicated to honouring the scientific and cultural legacy of the Mesopotamian region. It brings together scholars from across the world to advance research, arts, and knowledge rooted in one of civilisation’s oldest traditions.
Dr. Radha’s appointment recognises her outstanding academic excellence, distinguished research contributions, and dedicated service to the advancement of botanical sciences. Her research sits at a meaningful intersection: ancient plant wisdom validated through modern science, particularly her work documenting traditional Himalayan knowledge systems.
Talking about the recognition, Dr. Radha said, “It is an honour to represent Indian research and the field of medicinal plants and traditional knowledge on an international platform. This motivates me to go deeper into the work that connects our Himalayan heritage with the global scientific community. I am thankful to Shoolini Founder Chancellor Prof. PK Khosla, Vice Chancellor Prof. Atul Khosla, Registrar Prof. Sunil Puri, the Dean of Research and the entire Shoolini family for their continuous support and guidance.”
The Academy’s mission to preserve the legacy of Mesopotamia and to inspire future generations through knowledge, innovation, and the arts closely mirrors the research philosophy Dr. Radha has pursued at Shoolini. Her work makes traditional plant knowledge visible, validated, and relevant at a time when the world is increasingly looking to indigenous science for answers.
