Our tech men
On Technology Day today, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh decorated rocket scientists V. K. Saraswat and Dipankar Banerjee. The two scientists have long been involved in developing critical materials for aircraft carriers. Leader of the Agni-III missiles team Avinash Chander was decorated with the DRDO Award for pathbreaking research.
Pune's High Energy Materials Research Laboratory that makes explosives for many strategically important missile programmes got the prestigious Titanium Trophy. The Aeronautical Defence Agency of Bangalore was feted for defense research. So were Raju Venkata Narayana and his team from the Electronics and Radar Development Establishment, Bangalore and R B Subramanyam and his team from Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory, Hyderabad.
A befitting to salute the men shaping the strategic technology of this country!
Comments
In recent days, strategic technology of India is equally distributed and allowed to run under the care of public sector, private sector and voluntary sector. This event was a govt. sponsored programme to highlight a pocketed success. Now-a-days even students of developed countries are running independent programs and competing with mainstream scientists and technologists. The inclusion of student fabricated nano satellites, clustering ten of its kind, in the recent PSLV program has set a marvellous example for movers and shakers of India. Our befitting salute is reserved for that moment when men, women and children together will start running the race - well we may have consolidation prize for the moment for our children!
