We are happy to launch the first edition of The Spring Chronicle, a quarterly online knowledge platform for scholarly and popular articles for the learned audience. This initiative is part of ‘S & S Knowledge Partners’, an edu-tech firm aimed at promoting and sharing specialized knowledge topics in Science, Technology, Engineering, Humanities and Mathematics (STEHM). We’re of the view that there is a need for this platform for the expression and sharing of views, perspectives, opinions and analysis by experts on contemporary and historical topics for the benefit of the audience.
We’re very grateful to Dr. B. G. Mulimani for his encouragement, and in particular dedicating this website to the audience on Monday, March 10, 2025. It’s hoped the platform would ‘empower’ people by the knowledge shared by the experts. In this edition we’re bringing to you seven articles on different topics of interest to the audience. Permission to use the article by the late Dr. M. I. Savadatti published by Dr. M .I. Savadatti Vidyavardhaka Samsthe, Dharwad, as part of Memoirs, and making this possible due to Dr. Mulimani’s initiative are gratefully acknowledged. We’re specially thankful to Dr. B. G. Mulimani for agreeing to make the collaborative article with me available to us for this first edition. We’re indeed thankful to Prof. Pramod Gai, the former Vice-Chancellor of Karnatak University and the current Director of Karnataka Institute for DNA Research and his co-author Dr. Suyamindra Kulkarni, Acting Vice-Chancellor of Raichur University, Prof. P.
