About BOYSCAST Fellowship:
BOYSCAST Fellowship is a prestigious fellowship from of govt. of India, and one of highest awards among research community. All expenses are covered by DST.
Better Opportunities for Young Scientists in Chosen Areas of Science and Technology (BOYSCAST)
The scheme provides opportunities to Young Indian Scientists and Technologies (up to the age of 35 years), to interact with international scientist community and institutions and to participate in research and training activities in frontline areas of science and technology. The duration of the Fellowship is 3-12 months.
Annually, on an average, about 40 young scientists are awarded this fellowship in various areas, such as plant-microbe interactions; plant genetic resources; agricultural ecology; biodiversity and conservation biology; transplant biology; industrial microbiology; semiconductor physics; mathematical science; electronic material and processing; earth and atmospheric science; palaeoclimatology; organometallics; supramolecular chemistry; manufacturing engineering; computer and information science, earthquake engineering and structural dynamics.
The selected young scientists are also encouraged to attend scientific conferences and visit other institutions in the host country. Candidates selected under this scheme are expected to further generate and spread their expertise at the S&T laboratories/ Institutes across the nation.
______________________________
So far (as we know of) there are only four faculty members from IT-BHU who have received the award:
-Prof. V. P. Singh in 1991 (Mechanical Engineering) for session 1991-92
-Prof. V. K. Srivastava in 1991 (Mechanical Engineering) for session 1991-92
-Prof. S. P. Singh in 1992 (Electrical Engineering) for session 1992-93
-Dr. M. K. Meshram in 2010 (Electronics Engineering) for session 2009-2010
For the year 2009-10, 103 scientists have been awarded BOYSCAST Fellowship by DST. The link below provides the list:

Biography of Dr. Manoj Kumar Meshram
From 2000 to 2001, Dr. Meshram was a Senior Research Fellow in the Electronics Engineering Department, at IT-BHU, where he carried out his research work on Microstrip array antenna. From August 2001 to July 2002, he worked as Assistant Professor in Electronics and Communication Engineering at the Dehradun Institute of Technology, Dehradun, India, where he carried out his research work on MMIC and microstrip antenna. In July 2002, he joined as a Lecturer in the Department of Electronics Engineering, Institute of Technology, BHU, where he presently works as Assistant Professor.
He has been awarded with the INSA Fellowship 2008-09 to visit South Korea for two months under Bilateral Exchange Programme. He visited Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea between 11 June, 2008 to 8th Aug, 2008 with Prof. Jaehoon Choi, where he carried out his research work on the design and development of microstrip antenna for WCDMA and WiMax repeater. He has been also awarded with Boyscast fellowship 2009-2010 for conducting advanced research for the duration of 12 months at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He will be joined by Prof. Natiala Nikolova (research chair of high frequency, McMaster University) and carrying out his research on microwave imaging of human body tissues (especially for the breast cancer detection).
He has published 26 research papers in national and international journals and conferences. His research interests include frequency scanning antenna for radar system, microstrip antennas, tapered slot antenna, ferrites, MMIC, quarter-wave microstrip antenna, UWB antenna, and microwave imaging of human body tissues.
Dr. Meshram is a Member of the Indian Science Congress Association, India, and a Life Member of Indian Society of Technical Education (ISTE), India and Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE). He received the Best Paper Award during the 87th session of the Indian Science Congress Association in January 2000 at Pune University, Pune, India. He is in the reviewer’s list of several reference journals in India and abroad.
