  1. Professor Fritsch trained three students under him Professor M.O.P. Iyengar who established a school of phycology at Madras University, Professor Y. Bharadwaja who established a school of phycology at BHU and Professor A. K. Mitra who established a school of phycology at Allahabad. The matter of great prestige is that the image of Draparnaldiopsis indica Bharadwaja get its place in 1st volume of his book with proper acknowledgement. Everybody has heard the name of Professor Govindjee who is an alumni of Allahabad University and his special was phycology.
