Biography:

Biography Born in Lucknow, India on 3 January 1934, he obtained BSc, BSc (Hons), and MSc degrees from Lucknow University, India. He then joined Drosophila Laboratory, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar (1958) where he was exposed to quantitative genetic studies that became his life-long passion.
