Abstract
IT is now expected that the distinguished Indian scientific men who will shortly visit Great Britain will arrive about the second week of October. They expect to stay in England for about seven weeks, during which time they will visit important scientific laboratories and industrial, medical and agricultural research institutions in and near London in the Midlands and north of England and elsewhere in the United Kingdom; they will also discuss modern scientific progress with such bodies as the Royal Society, the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the Medical Research Council, the Agricultural Research Council and the Radio Board. This visit is a sequel to the visit to India last winter of Prof. A. V. Hill, secretary of the Royal Society. It was then suggested that Indian scientific men should be given an opportunity of coming to the United Kingdom and of establishing closer relations between the many new scientific organizations in India and corresponding organizations here. The proposal was warmly welcomed by H.M. Government and by the Government of India. They will be the guests of His Majesty's Government while they are in Great Britain.
