In addition to the academic pursuit which can be evaluated on the basis of publications I have also contributed to build an active Bioinformatics Centre at University of Pune with all modern facilities such as Local Area Network, multimedia workstations and servers with connectivity through fiber optics network etc. These workstations can be used in parallel mode in PVM architecture. Wide Area Network has been also developed through INTERNET and this is one of the few centres in the country which has its own `Home Page on World Wide Web' using Netscape and Mosaic. The high quality work carried out by the Bioinformatics Centre, in last 6-7 years, has several firsts :

• World's largest computerized data bank on `Animal viruses' with information in alpha numeric and pictorial form. This is the only data bank from India which is available on INTERNET not only at our centre in Pune but also from Base de Dados Tropical, Campinas, Brazil and University of Sheffield, U.K.

• Software for analysis of biological sequence and structure data as well as molecular modelling studies on parallel computer PARAM. The software is copyrighted in India and Europe.

• Multimedia teaching aid package in biology - immunology.

• Asian Node for Microbial Strain Data Network - gives access to all microbial data, data on releases of organisms in environment, data to carry out risk assessment on releases etc.

• Complete connectivity of 12 libraries in Pune City through computer network by developing indigenous software for database creation, search and network.

• Started `Advanced Diploma in Bioinformatics' course of 12 months duration for students with M.Sc., M.V.Sc., M.B.B.S., B.E./B.Tech. background.

I am actively involved in initiating and formulating `Bioinformatics System in India' as a member of Task Force on the Bioinformatics Programme of Department of Biotechnology. I am the only member who is in this Task Force continuously from its inception in 1984. Internationally I am actively working with CODATA, an ICSU Committee, and is a member of several task forces, including member of its Executive Committee.

In addition, the Centre has developed a close link with Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and has several collaborative programmes. This interaction is now considered as a model for interaction between two institutes anywhere in the country. This interaction helped University to lay 7.5 k.m. fiber optics cable through out the campus to have computer connectivity with every department in the University campus. University of Pune is the only University in the country which has established such network. I am one of the founder member of Centre for Information Technology (C-IT), a new institute founded jointly by University of Pune and C-DAC, which has incorporated several new ideas of higher education, contract research and futuristic research with little dependence on government funds. In fact, Bioinformatics Centre has helped to develop many other departments, Jayakar Library - main University library on the campus and other Bioinformatics Centres in the country. The culture and expertise developed at the Centre provides high quality support to users from various backgrounds in accessing, analyzing and modelling information. Users helped by the Bioinformatics Centre include those from Industry, non- governmental organizations, research scientists, policy makers and students. Centre is also acting as a catalyst for networking Pune City and has helped number of citizens including practicing physicians and lawyers to be on the network by providing necessary know-how.

I have also conducted several training programmes and participated in numerous Workshops to make scientists aware of advancements in Bioinformatics and its usefulness. Training Programmes conducted at the Centre are appreciated by International agencies such as UNEP, UNIDO, FAO etc. as they are of desired academic standards and professionally managed. The centre has collaborative programmes and close interaction with institutes in Japan, USA and UK. New algorithms and several value added quality databases in addition to animal virus information system are developed which are available through INTERNET. In short, the centre has taken proactive attitude for the development of Bioinformatics and computer communications.

In addition to development and establishment of Bioinformatics Centre, I am also involved in creating and developing a vibrant Biotechnology Department in University of Pune. It must be mentioned that constructing a building, establishing a work culture with freedom and sense of belonging is unique to Bioinformatics Centre and Biotechnology Department in the University of Pune. With positive attitude I helped to develop other departments such as Zoology Department of University of Pune, National Facility for Animal Tissue and Cell Culture (NFATCC), Pune and Biophysics Department of Institute of Science, Aurangabad.

I am an active member of CODATA (Committee on Data for Science and Technology) of the ICSU (International Council of Scientific Unions) since 1986. As a recognition of my contributions to CODATA, I am elected as a member to its executive body in 1994. Because of my efforts, 1998 CODATA Congress will be organized in India even though Poland was quite keen to organize the same. This should be seen in the context that 1996 CODATA Congress is also in Asia in Scuba, Japan. Most of the international organizations do not want consecutive two congresses in the same continent.

As a Director of Pune Library Network I have not only established very active hub with the facilities to dial up to our computer from any library in Pune City but the software and the database which was developed at our Centre allows one to get connected to other libraries in the Pune City through automatic dialing and to show where and which book/journal is available and its status. Presently 12 libraries are connected with each other to Centre. We will connect 71 libraries in the Pune city. Such linkage of library will help large number of users who find it difficult to move from one library to other library to find out the resource material and will improve productivity.

In the University of Pune the financial autonomy is given to various departments including my department and Bioinformatics Centre. The annual turnover, excluding salary of the staff, is in the range of 1.2 - 1.5 Crores per year. Total staff which is directly working with me is about 50 persons at various levels - professor, scientists, technical assistants, research associates, engineers, librarians, peons etc. I am also member of various decision making University bodies and committees such as Senate, Academic Council, Chairman of Board of Studies etc. Presently, I am helping University in making purchases as a member of `Purchase Committee' and monitoring the progress in expenditure as a member of `Budget Monitoring Committee'. Both these committees are formed under new University Act 1994 of Maharashtra State Government. In fact, University of Pune is the only University which has surplus budget. It has created strong interactions with `Indian Army' and is the only University where Indian Army has instituted a `Chair' for a professor in `defense policy analysis'. I am duly involved in shaping administrative and financial reforms of the University at various levels.

In short, in last ten years I have got rich administrative experience at international, national and local level through my involvement in various activities of CODATA, INSA, DST, DBT, UGC, CSIR and various University bodies.
