India Indian test tube baby
During his tenure at the National Institute of Reproductive Health Research, Kumar was involved in research on in-vitro fertilization and led the team that created the first official test tube baby in India. The baby, Harsha Chawda nÃÆ' Â © e Harsha, was born on August 6, 1986 at King Edward Memorial Hospital and Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College, Mumbai, by a cesarean section performed by Indira Hinduja. Subsequently, he became aware of Subhash Mukherjee's research and about the birth of Kanupriya Agarwal (Durga) on October 3, 1978 in Kolkata under Mukherjee's supervision. Kumar examines Mukherjee's handwritten notes and research papers and admits that the first tube baby born in India was Durga. He conveyed the Oration Memorial Subhas Mukerji to the third National Congress on Reproductive Reproduction Technology and Progress on Infertility Management held in Kolkata on February 8, 1997 and published the article under the title, > India's first test tube baby architect: Dr. Subhas Mukherjee , the same year in which he established that many of Mukherjee's techniques were being pioneered. His efforts are reported to have influenced subsequent admissions by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) which ultimately recognizes Mukherjee's work.
Other contributions
Kumar, whose research covers many aspects of assisted reproductive technology and the role of the neuroendocrine system in reproduction, is known to have introduced a technique for endonasal administration of hormones. His research revealed gonadal hormone pathways to the brain through cerebro-spinal fluid and endonasal steroid administration techniques initiated contraceptive administration protocols through a nasal route that resulted in preferential contraceptive transfers into the cerebro-spinal fluid, then a novel approach to contraception was known. He is the author of several articles detailing his research, published in peer-reviewed national and international journal PubMed, an online storage of scientific papers, has enrolled 53 of them. Immediately after joining the Indian Institute of Medical Sciences of All India, he set up an electron microscopy laboratory in 1970 and later became a neuroendocrine research laboratory at the institution. In 1988, he founded the Indian Society for the Study of Reproduction and Fertility (ISSRF) to provide a platform for research in reproductive biology and served as its founding president. He was part of the Indian Council of Medical Research team that compiled the National Guidelines for Accreditation, Supervision and Arrangement of ART Clinic in India in 2005. He is also associated with organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research and government agencies such as the Department of Science and Technology and the Department of Biotechnology as their advisors.
