Dr. Shahid ul Islam- Nehru Fulbright Fellowship Winner
Kashmir youth have been constantly contributing to different fields and towards the development and betterment of Jammu and Kashmir. A scientist from south Kashmir’s Kulgam district has been awarded Nehru Fulbright Fellowship for his contribution in the field of Chemistry. A resident of Batapora Qaimoh in Kulgam district, Dr. Shahid ul Islam has worked hard to introduce alternative greener agents that can reduce pollution in textiles industries following the ban on carcinogenic synthetic dyes, textile, and polymer.
“As a Fulbright-Nehru postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Shahid will address this issue by designing and synthesizing novel metal/polymer composites from agricultural wastes which align with the general principles of natural-resource efficiency, cleaner production, and eco-innovation,” reads the content of the United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF) website which has conferred the award of fellowship to Dr. Shahid.
Fulbright-Nehru awards enable the most outstanding students, academics, and professionals in India and the US to study, research, and teach in the host country.
We are proud to see the youth excelling in every field and inspiring others to follow their passion and Inshallah together lead Kashmir to higher heights.
