On May 18, Dr. Kohli walked up the dais at San Carlos University in Asuncion to receive an Honorary Doctorate as a mark of gratitude from Paraguayans for transforming their country to a net wheat exporter
Indians being honoured in countries of their adoption is now scarcely news, especially with the growth of the white collar diaspora. But Mohan Kohli, honoured by Paraguay earlier this month, is different.

Having worked under the legendry Norman Borlaug at a time when agricultural research was yet to slip entirely into the domain of corporates, Dr. Kohli has got recognition for nearly four decades of unremitting research to step up wheat production in a wide swathe of Latin American countries, including Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Chile.

Great work, hope this work would be taken advantage of, by the whole World!
