dc.description.abstractThe "Report on Biologists in India (1955)" provides a detailed assessment of the status of trained biologists in India, focusing on those with master's degrees in botany and zoology. The study estimates that 4,406 biologists were active in 1955, with most employed in educational institutions and laboratories. Key specializations included plant pathology, cytology, entomology, and fisheries. While 15% held doctoral degrees, the majority earned modest salaries, with only a small fraction exceeding Rs. 1,000 per month. Employment rates were high among older biologists, whereas younger graduates faced greater unemployment. The report highlights trends in education, specialization, employment, and compensation, offering essential insights for policy planning to strengthen the biological sciences workforce in India.
