The Association of Microbiologists of India (AMI) established in 1938 is one of the oldest and reputed scientific organizations of the country. The Association publishes a quarterly journal, “Indian Journal of Microbiology” for the last 45 years and holds a National convention annually at one of the well established centers of microbiology in the country.

The temples of Bhubaneswar are unparalleled in sheer number and in their superb craftsmanship. With the architectural legacy of the Kalinga Dyansty Bhubaneswar boasts of hundreds of temples including Lingaraj, Mukteswar, Rajarani, Brahmeswar, Vaital, etc. dating from 6th Century AD to 13th Century AD. Apart from remarkably sculptured temples the Jain caves of Khandagiri and Udayagiri, Nandankanan Zoological Park, the peace pagoda ‘Dhauli’ on the banks of river Daya attract visitors from all over the world. Historically, Odisha has been at the forefront of education and research. The ruins of a major ancient university, Puspagiri is also located in Odisha. Scholars from faraway lands, such as Greece, Persia and China used to study philosophy, astronomy, mathematics and science at this famed university. Bhubaneswar is also famous for its culinary delight. Being a coastal city the accent is on marine food of all kinds, especially prawns, Lobsters and crabs brought in from the Chilika Lake and the sweetest Rasogola of Salepur, Jhilli of Nimapara and Chennapoda of Nayagarh has made Bhubaneswar a paradise for the food lovers.
