Re: RE: [MTC Global] Role Models

Dear Sir, It is a good idea to have the gallery of eminent thinkers
of management thought in India.
For eg: Peter Drucker is associated with the concept of propounding
the concept of Management By Objectives(MBO)
or Alfred Sloan for bringing out the importance of building an
organization from a bunch of businessmen.
I am sure we may have some interesting thoughts alongside the life
story of the pioneers.
best regards,
K.Paranjpe

Subject: RE: [MTC Global] Role ModelsI think, the list misses one
name, that of Jagadish Chandra Bose who not only contributed in
understanding plant life, but actually discovered radio signals or
wireless signals , which he termed as "Invisible light", which
although is credited to Marconi.

by those who were responsible for development Indian Education Model
post-independence is that biographies of people who could be role
models for generations were removed from the books in the name of
being secular and non-partisan. I believe a brief on 12 scientists
given below should be shared with students. MTC team could take the
responsibility of making a small presentation on the Management Gurus
of India and their contribution to management thinking and management
education. It could be in three parts – role models picked from our
scriptures and epics, role models from freedom struggle and role
models for last century.RegardsVirendra Goel12 Indian Scientists Who
Changed The World. And Things You Probably Didn't Know About
Them!Scienceisimportant part of our everyday lives, even more than we
notice. From our fancy gadgets to the the fan that throws airin a hot
summer day. From The refrigerator that cools us off to the
electricity that runs our lives,itis all gift of science and
technology.I wonder what would we be doingif none of these things
wereinvented? How often we take out time to think about those extra
ordinary minds who made life easier for us? Hereis the list of 12
Indian scientists who achieved a global recognition-1. CV
RamanChandrasekhara Venkata Raman, for his pioneering work on
scattering of light, won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930. Born
inTiruchirapallion November 7, 1888, he was the first Asian and first
non-White to receive any Nobel Prize in the sciences. Raman also
worked on the acoustics of musical instruments. He was the first to
investigate the harmonic nature of the sound of the Indian drums such
as the tabla and the mridangam.He discovered that, when light
traverses a transparent material, some of the deflected light changes
in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is
the result of the Raman effect.In October 1970, he collapsed in his
laboratory. He was moved to hospital and the doctors gave him four
hours to live. He survived and after a few days refused to stay in
the hospital as he preferred to die in the gardens of his Institute
surrounded by his flowers. He died of natural causes on 21 November
1970.Before dying, Raman told his students,Do not allow the journals
of the Academy to die, for they are the sensitive indicators of the
quality of Sccience being done in the country and whether science is
taking root in it or not.2. Homi J. BhabhaPicture sourceBorn on
October 30, 1909 in Bombay, Homi Jehangir Bhabha played an important
part in contribution to The Quantum Theory.He was the first one to
become the Chairman of Atomic Energy Commission of India. Having
started his scientific career in nuclear physics from Great Britain,
Bhabha returned to India and played a key role in convincing the
Congress Party's senior leaders, most notable Jawaharlal Nehru, to
start the ambitious nuclear programme.Bhabha is generally
acknowledged as the father of Indian nuclear power. But few people
know that he was absolutely against India manufacturing atomic bombs
even if the country had enough resources to do so. Instead he
suggested that the production of an atomic reactor should be used to
lessen India's misery and poverty.He died when Air India Flight 101
crashed near Mont Blanc on 24 January 1966. Many possible theories of
the crash came up including a conspiracy theory in which Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) is involved in order to paralyze India's
nuclear program.3. VisvesvarayaSir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, born on
5 September 1860, was a notable Indian engineer, scholar, statesman
and the Diwan of Mysore during 1912 to 1918. He was a recipient of
the Indian Republic's highest honour, the Bharat Ratna.Sir M V
suggested India to be put under the industrialized nations as he
believed that India can become developed through industries.He has
the credit of inventing 'automatic sluice gates' and 'block
irrigation system' which are still considered to be marvels in
engineering.Since river beds were costly, he came up with an
efficient way of filtering water through 'Collector Wells' in 1895
which was rarely seen anywhere in the world. (Source)4. Venkatraman
RadhakrishnanPicture sourceVenkatraman Radhakrishnan was born on May
18, 1929 in Tondaripet, a suburb of Chennai. Venkataraman was a
globally renowned space scientist and member of the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences.He was an internationally acclaimed
Astrophysicist and also renowned for his design and fabrication of
ultralight aircraft and sailboats.His observations and theoretical
insights helped the community in unraveling many mysteries
surrounding pulsars, interstellar clouds, galaxy structures and
various other celestial bodies. He died at the age of 81 in
Bangalore.5. S. ChandrashekarPicture sourceBorn on October 19, 1910
in Lahore, British India, he was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize for
Physics for his mathematical theory of black holes. TheChandrasekhar
limitis named after him. He was nephew of CV Raman. Chandra became a
United States citizen in 1953.His most celebrated work concerns the
radiation of energy from stars, particularly white dwarf stars, which
are the dying fragments of stars. He died on August 21, 1995, at the
age of 82 in Chicago.6. Satyendra Nath BoseBorn on January 1, 1894 in
Calcutta, SN Bose was an Indian physicist specialising in quantum
mechanics. He is of course most remembered for his role played in the
class of particles 'bosons', which were named after him by Paul Dirac
to commemorate his work in the field.Bose adapted a lecture at the
University of Dhaka on the theory ofradiationand theultraviolet
catastropheinto a short article called "Planck's Law and the
Hypothesis of Light Quanta" and sent it toAlbert Einstein.Einstein
agreed with him, translated Bose's paper "Planck's Law and Hypothesis
of Light Quanta" into German, and had it published inZeitschrift f�r
Physikunder Bose's name, in 1924. This formed the basis of theBose-
Einstein Statistics.In 1937, Rabindranath Tagore dedicated his only
book on science, Visva–Parichay, to Satyendra Nath Bose.The
Government of India awarded him India's second highest civilian
award, the Padma Vibhushan in 1954.7. Meghnad SahaPicture sourceBorn
on October 6, 1893 inDhaka, Bangladesh. Meghnad Saha's best-known
work concerned the thermal ionisation of elements, and it led him to
formulate what is known as theSaha equation. This equation is one of
the basic tools for interpretation of the spectra of stars in
astrophysics. By studying the spectra of various stars, one can find
their temperature and from that, using Saha's equation, determine the
ionisation state of the various elements making up the star.He also
invented an instrument to measure the weight and pressure of solar
rays. But did you know, he was also the chief architect of river
planning in India? He prepared the original plan for the Damodar
Valley Project.8. Srinivasa RamanujanPicture sourceBorn on December
22, 1887 in Tamil Nadu, Ramanujam was an Indian mathematician and
autodidact who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics,
made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number
theory, infinite series, and continued fractions.By age 11, he had
exhausted the mathematical knowledge of two college students who were
lodgers at his home. He was later lent a book on advanced
trigonometry written by S. L. Loney.[5][22] He completely mastered
this book by the age of 13 and discovered sophisticated theorems on
his own.We hadn't known before that he faced a lot of health problems
while living in England due to scarcity of vegetarian food. He
returned to India and died at a young age of 32.Ramanujan's home
state of Tamil Nadu celebrates 22 December (Ramanujan's birthday) as
'State IT Day', memorializing both the man and his achievements.9.
Salim AliS�lim Moizuddin Abdul Ali, born on November 12, 1896 in
Mumba,i was an ornithologist and naturalist. Salim Ali was among the
first Indians to conduct systematic bird surveys across India and his
bird books helped develop ornithology in the sub-continent.This
Birdman of India was the key figure behind the Bombay Natural History
Society after 1947 and used his personal influence to garner
government support for the organisation. He was awarded India's
second highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan in 1976.10. Har
Gobind KhoranaPicture sourceBorn on January 9, 1922 Raipur village in
West Punjab (now in Pakistan), Khorana was an Indian-American
biochemist who shared the 1968Nobel Prize for Physiology or
MedicinewithMarshall W. NirenbergandRobert W. Holleyfor research that
helped to show how the order ofnucleotidesinnucleic acids, which
carry thegenetic codeof the cell, control the cell's synthesis of
proteins.In 1970, Khorana became the first to synthesize an
artificial gene in a living cell. His work became the foundation for
much of the later research in biotechnology and gene therapy.How many
are aware that the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Government of
India (DBT Department of Biotechnology), and the Indo-US Science and
Technology Forum jointly created the Khorana Program in 2007? The
mission of the Khorana Program is to build a seamless community of
scientists, industrialists, and social entrepreneurs in the United
States and India. Khorana died of natural causes on November 9, 2011
at the age of 89.11. Birbal SahniPicture SourceBorn on November 14,
1891 in West Punjab, Sahni was an Indian paleobotanist who studied
the fossils of the Indian subcontinent. He was also a geologist who
took an interest in archaeology. His greatest contributions lie in
the study of the plants of India as well as paleobotany.He was
elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London (FRS) in 1936, the
highest British scientific honor, awarded for the first time to an
Indian botanist.He was a founder of The Paleobotanical Society which
established the Institute of Palaeobotany on 10 September 1946 and
which initially functioned in the Botany Department of Lucknow
University. Sahni died 10 April 1949 due to a heart attack.12. APJ
Abdul KalamPicture sourceAvul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, born on
October 15, 1931 is an Indian scientist who worked as an Aerospace
engineer with Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)
and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).Kalam started his
career by designing a small helicopter for the Indian Army. Kalam was
also part of the INCOSPAR committee working under Vikram Sarabhai,
the renowned space scientist. In 1969, Kalam was transferred to the
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) where he was the project
director of India's first indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-
III) which successfully deployed the Rohini satellite in near earth's
orbit in July 1980.He also served as the 11th President of India from
2002 to 2007. Kalam advocated plans to develop India into a developed
nation by 2020 in his book India 2020. He has received several
prestigious awards, including the Bharat Ratna, India's highest
civilian honour. Known for his love for children, did you know that
he had set a goal of meeting 100,000 students in the 2 years after
his resignation from the role of scientific adviser in 1999? May he
continue to inspire millions.
