B. Madhusoodana Kurup
Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (Kufos) organised a memorial meeting to honour its founder Vice-Chancellor B. Madhusoodana Kurup.
Vice-Chancellor A. Biju Kumar proposed an empowered Vembanad Lake Authority on the model of the Chilka Development Authority, a Vembanad Lake Festival alongside the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, and a B. Madhusoodana Kurup Chair for Aquatic Ecosystem Studies at the Kufos.
The meeting also witnessed the presentation of the B. Madhusoodana Kurup Memorial Endowment, instituted by his former students who now serve as Kufos faculty members, to recognise outstanding research papers from the faculty of Fisheries Science and the faculty of Ocean Science and Technology. V.K. Anoop, recognised for his research on freshwater fish diversity and taxonomy, and Ravi Baraiya, a researcher in marine bioactive compounds and sustainable fisheries resource utilisation, received the awards.
Deepak Joy, MLA, and former ministers K. Babu and S. Sharma paid tribute to Kurup.
