Who created India's first test tube baby?
In 1978, Kolkata's Dr Subhash Mukhopadhyay created India's first test-tube baby-just 67 days after the world's first in UK. He successfully fertilized, froze, implanted the egg, and delivered a healthy baby. Doubting his claims, the West Bengal government set up a committee of bureaucrats and non-specialist doctors. India recognized his pioneering IVF work, but tribute came long after his death.
