The recipients of Swarnajayanti Fellowship (1997–2016) are associated with only 23 different R&D institutions across India and are mostly from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs); Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru; Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai and Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) laboratories. The pattern shows that 43% of Swarnajayanti Fellows (SJFs) are also recipients of the prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar (SSB) Prize. The study reveals that 70% of SJFs with doctoral training under the supervision of Bhatnagar awardees are the recipients of the SSB Prize followed by 66% with foreign Ph Ds and 52% with Indian Ph Ds. IISc and CSIR laboratories have the distinction that all SJFs with doctoral training under the supervision of Bhatnagar awardees are recipients of the SSB Prize, while TIFR has the most with foreign Ph D.
