IIT Bombay Prof Wins NASI Award

Professor Karthikeyan Lanka, a renowned researcher at IIT Bombay, has been conferred with the prestigious NASI Award. His research primarily deals with the study of soil moisture and land atmosphere interactions, which plays a crucial role in improving drought prediction and monitoring. This, in turn, aids in better agriculture and water resource management. The NASI Award is a testament to Professor Lanka's tireless efforts and contributions to the field of drought research. His work has the potential to significantly impact the lives of farmers and the agricultural community as a whole. By enhancing our understanding of soil moisture and land atmosphere interactions, Professor Lanka's research can help mitigate the effects of droughts and improve crop yields.
