I am in Vizag on 16th July, 2015, to give a key note address on the 106th birthday commemoration of Durgabai Desh mukh. The Centre for Women's Studies is named after her. I was very happy to meet Prof. Shantamma a first generation Prof of Physics who passed out from Andhra University and the present VC was her student and he reminicence as to how she was the only women driving an Ambassador car to the University and mind you those days there were no power steering and it had all to be done manually. The University also acknowledged her contribution and honoured her. I found a lot of coverage of the event in all the local papers today.
