He discussed the origin of earliest organic chemists, Charaka Samhita, their foundational texts that survived from 1000-2000 BCE and development of plant metabolites into modern day tablets. Then remains of earlier civilisations of 7000-8000 BC like copper tools, chart blades etc. were shown to students which were discovered in Rakhighari, Haryana. The speaker narrated the story behind the development and evolution of modern day grains by citing examples of wheat and maize.
