during his tenure at the national institute for research in reproductive health, kumar was involved in research on in-vitro fertilization and led a team which created the first official test tube baby in india. the baby, harsha chawda née harsha, was born on 6 august 1986 at king edward memorial hospital and seth gordhandas sunderdas medical college, mumbai, by a caesarian section performed by indira hinduja. subsequently, he came to know about the researches of subhash mukherjee and about the birth of kanupriya agarwal (durga) on 3 october 1978 in kolkata under the supervision of mukherjee. kumar checked the handwritten notes and research papers of mukherjee and acknowledged that the first test tube baby born in india was durga. he delivered the "subhas mukerji memorial oration" at the third "national congress on assisted reproductive technology and advances in infertility management" held in kolkata on 8 february 1997 and published an article under the title, "architect of india's first test tube baby: dr. subhas mukherjee", the same year through which he established that many of mukherjee's techniques were pioneering. his efforts were reported to have influenced the subsequent acceptance by the indian council of medical research (icmr) which eventually recognized the work of mukherjee.
