The network will deliberate on issues related to sustainability. Alongwith my continuing role as Chairman CHDC of BIS, this will provide me an important platform to discuss issues of mitigating the pollution and effects of chemicals and waste @AshokaUniv @iiserkol @csir_ncl
Ashoka University congratulates Sourav Pal (@SouravP32813910), Professor of Chemistry at Ashoka University, on joining the Royal Society of Chemistry Chemicals, Waste and Pollution Network (RSC CWP Network)
'I am delighted to join the Royal Society of Chemistry Chemicals, Waste and Pollution Network (RSC CWP). I have been working with the RSC Science Policy Panel for a few years, and this has transitioned to the CWP network. The network will bring together international experts from across the chemical sciences to help inform international policy on chemicals, waste, and pollution as the United Nations Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution (ISP-CWP) and Global Framework on Chemicals move into their next phase. I will be excited to bring the national perspective of Viksit Bharat to this important national forum,’ said Professor Pal.

Ashoka University congratulates Sourav Pal, Professor of Chemistry at Ashoka University, on receiving the prestigious Acharya P. C. Ray Endowment Award 2026 at the 63rd IPS Foundation Day Programme.
‘It is a great honour to receive this award in the name of Acharya Prafulla Chandra Ray, who was one of the first Indian chemists to take India to the global stage. More than 100 years ago, Acharya Ray was also an entrepreneur who founded Bengal Chemical. His work had a great impact on coordination chemistry and the translation of Chemistry for the people. I thank the Indian Photobiology Society for honouring me with this award. On this occasion, I delivered a lecture titled "Quantum Mechanics for Structure and Spectroscopy",' says Professor Pal.
