Let us tell you ten such great scientists of India who changed the attitude towards India on the world stage and revolutionized the field of science in the country.
1. APJ Abdul Kalam :
Former President of India and Bharat Ratna APJ Abdul Kalam is also known as Missile Man in India. In 1962 he joined the 'Indian Space Research Organisation.' Kalam has the credit of making India's first indigenous satellite (SLV III) missile as the project director. In 1980, Kalam placed the Rohini satellite near the Earth's orbit. Due to his efforts, India also became a member of the International Space Club. He is also credited with starting the ISRO launch vehicle program. Dr. Kalam designed indigenous guided missiles. The remarkable thing is that Kalam made missiles like Agni and Prithvi with indigenous technology.
2. Jayant Vishnudanarlikar :
Jayant Vishnu Narlikar, a famous scientist born in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, is a physics scientist. Apart from the Big Bang theory of the universe's origin, he has also worked on the new view of the Steady State Theory. He worked closely with the father of this theory, Fred Hoyle, and propounded the Hoyle-Narlikar theory. Narlikar, who was honored with many awards, also contributed to Vigyan Sahityad to promote science.
3. Vikram Sarabhai:
Vikram Ambalal Sarabhai can be called the father of India's space history. In a way, he laid the foundation of India's space program. He opened 40 space and research-related institutions in the country. He also made equal contributions in atomic energy, electronics, and many other fields. The Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) and associated space institutions were renamed Vikram Sarabhai Space Center on Sarabhai coming from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, at Thiruvananthapuram. It emerged as a significant space research center of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
4. Dr. Jagdish Chandra Bose:
Dr. Jagdishchandra Bose was also known as Sir Bose. He had a deep knowledge of physics, biology, botany, and archaeology. He was the first scientist in the world who worked on the optics of radio and microwaves. Apart from this, he also made many important discoveries in botany. He was the first Indian scientist to get a US patent. He is called the father of radio science all over the world.
5. Homi Jehangir Bhabha:
Indian nuclear power program cannot be imagined without Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha. He is also called the 'Architect of Indian Atomic Energy Program.' Thanks to him, the country was prosperous in conducting the first nuclear test in 1974. In a way, he played an essential role in making the country nuclear power. The surprising thing was that he started work in atomic science when the knowledge about it was negligible. At the same time, no one was ready to accept his idea of producing electricity from nuclear energy.
6. Satyenkanath Bose :
The greatness of this great Indian scientist can be gauged from the fact that out of two molecules named boson and fermion in physics, boson is named after Satyendra Nath Bose. He discovered Bose-Einstein statistics along with the great scientist of his time, Albert Einstein.
7. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan:
Venkataraman Ramakrishnan of Indian origin, hailing from Chidambaram district of Tamil Nadu, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009. Raman was given this award for his excellent study of the function and structure of ribosomes, which produce proteins inside the cell.
8. Subramaniam Chandrasekhar:
Subrahmanyam Chandrasekhar was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1983. Dr. Subrahmanyam Chandrasekhar discovered the constellations named White Dwarf. The boundary of this constellation found by him is called the Chandrasekhar limit. This discovery of this Indian scientist contributed a lot in solving the mysteries of the origin of the world. He was the nephew of the great Indian scientist CV Raman. His name is included in the list of great scientists of the 20th century. He wrote many books on subjects related to astrophysics and the solar system.
9. Hargovind Khurana :
This American citizen and scientist of Indian origin, Dr. Hargobind Khurana, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1968. He interpreted and researched the genetic code (DNA). Khurana worked in the field of medicine with Marshall, Nirenberg, and Robert Holle. Khurana's research helped the medical field discover how nucleic acid nucleotides, which carry the cell's genetic code, control the cell's protein synthesis.
10. CV Raman :
His full name was Chandrasekhar Venkataraman, and he was the first scientist to get a Nobel in the field of science. In 1930 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. Venkataraman did a deep study on the light. His invention became known as 'Raman-Kiran.' The Raman effect spectrum became an essential means of identifying substances and gaining knowledge of their internal nuclear scheme. Raman was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1954, while the Lenin Peace Prize was awarded in 1957.
