GREAT ACHIEVEMENT BY LAWRENCIANS
Congratulations Tirtha
A very special shoutout to our St Lawrence High School, Kolkata, classmate Tirtha Pratim Das, Director of ISRO’s Space Science Programme, who has played a key role in the successful Chandrayaan 3 moon mission. Apart from this, Tirtha is also an accomplished musician (he plays the tabla) and a published author in both Bengali and English.
Dr. Das started his career in ISRO as a launch vehicle technologist at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, ISRO, and contributed to the PSLV and GSLV missions. Subsequently, he played significant roles in the Planetary Exploration programme of ISRO and contributed to the scientific exploration of Moon and Mars in Chandrayaan-1, 2 and Mars Orbiter Missions. In the pursuit of disruptive technologies in ISRO, Dr. Das has also been instrumental in the development of disruptive and futuristic space technologies for the new decades. Dr. Das is an alumnus of the Department of Physics, St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata, and Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics, University of Calcutta. He earned his Ph.D. on the lunar exosphere from Cochin University of Science and Technology while working as a scientist in the Space Physics Laboratory, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, ISRO.
Dr Amitabha Chanda have been awarded “The Best Neurosurgeon of West Bengal” at The Heath Care Excellence Award in New Delhi on 19.01.2023.
The award was given by Shri Arjunlal Meena (M.

I thank The Almighty for this award. The award was supposed to be given by Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Health Minister.
