leader and adviser — often all at the same time! His great human qualities, combining
intense personal charm with a deep commitment to social values and an extraordinary

objectivity in management, have led several generations of students, colleagues and
administrators to efforts that they would otherwise not have taken.”

Today, the 25th of September, is Dhawan’s 89th birth anniversary. It is nearly seven years

since he passed away. It is only proper that we remember him and the values he stood for.

There is perhaps no better description of him than what Shakespeare wrote:

“His life was gentle, and the elements

So mix’d in him that Nature might stand up

And say to all the world “this was a man!”

( P.V. Manoranjan Rao was a scientist at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre for many years.)

Today is the 89th birth anniversary of Satish Dhawan who lent substance to Vikram

Sarabhai’s vision and built the Indian Space Research Organisation into a vibrant body.
