The Universities Act 1904, which applied to the then five Universities of India located at Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, Lahore and Allahabad, enjoined them to appoint Professors and other faculty members to engage in research, concurrent to the teaching. The initiation of IISc. Bangalore (1909) and BHU (1916) spurred the research agenda on behalf of academic institutions in India. The establishment of more Universities after the first World War, through the 1920s, progressed the spread of higher education. The start of second World War in 1939 necessitated the Governmental support to Scientific & Industrial research and manufacturing & product development within India. The war ended with the two atomic bomb explosions in Japan, and this led to the expansion of Governmental support to Atomic Energy research programme within India. The Indian independence in 1947 accelerated the permeation of higher education and research in all the spheres. I shall share a personal comprehension of great contributions made to the education and research in different domains by the five titans, viz., S.S.
