In his message to the new batch, Dr. Umakant Dash talked about the legacy of Dr. Verghese Kurien, the Founder of IRMA, who is renowned as the Father of the White Revolution in India. Calling the participants the “Legatees of Dr. Kurien”, he expressed his hope that through their hard work and dedication, they would be able to take IRMA’s name forward.
