Two women in medicine who broke a number of firsts to become full-fledged doctors in India are Dr Anandibai Joshee and Dr Kadambini Ganguly. Their struggle, their efforts and their successes have become inspiration for many women scientists. They are great role models for women coming into science. To honor both of them, INSA institutes two orations in their names. The orations are to be delivered by eminent women scientists, one in the first half of a given year and one in the second half of the same year. A committee constituted by the President will choose the speakers. Each speaker will be given a gold plated copper medal and a citation. The cost will be met from the INSA corpus fund.
