SubbaRow Club
SubbaRow Club is a group doing the follow up of the work of The National Committee for Dr Yellapragada SubbaRow Centenary set up in 1995 which secured wide recognition in India of the contributions made by Dr SubbaRow by holding seminars, memorial meetings and photo exhibitions besides getting the government issue a centenary stamp. Its residual funds were transferred to Indian National Science Academy INSA which has instituted a triennial memorial lecture.
Subsequently, Mr S P K Gupta, Secretary, as mandated by the National Committee, is carrying on its work. He has mainly acted as catalyst to get ad hoc local committees in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Visakhapatnam to hold memorial meetings and mount photo exhibitions with source materials left with him.
Members of the SubbaRow Club work to institutionalise the carry-on work of the National Committee.
