Mathur's contemporaries were Prof. Shagti Swamp Rhatnagar, Prof. Birbal Sahni and Prof. Megh Nad Saha, all of whom were born at about the same time, became famous through their scientific work and were elected as Fellows of the Royal Society. EarZv Life Krishna Kulnar Mathur was born at Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh on July 30, 1893. His father was a government crnployce at the local treasury who had settled at Vrindavnn after retirement.

It was war time and he had to face the rigours of travel in those turbulent times. He enrolled himself as a student of the Royal School of Mines of the Imperial College, London, in 191 6 and secured the BSc.
