  • In Remembrance
    337 In Remembrance In Remembrance Gurcharan Singh Kalkat (1926‐2018) Photo: Courtesy of The Tribune, Chandigarh The Punjab Agricultural University salutes the august, noble and iconic visionary, Dr G.S. Kalkat, who not only made Punjab a food surplus state, but also transformed the agricultural face of the country. He will always be remembered as an architect of Green Revolution as well as Soybean Revolution in India. A visionary scientist par excellence, Dr Gurcharan Singh Kalkat dedicated a substantial part of his time, energy and life to the farming community. The right mix of brain, heart, talent and faith, Dr Kalkat worked with the farmers at the grass‐root level to solve their problems and understand their needs. Born at village Sahora in Hoshiarpur on June 17, 1926, Dr Kalkat obtained his B.Sc. (Agriculture) from Punjab Agriculture College, Lyallpur (now in Pakistan) and his Masters in Agriculture from the Panjab University, Solan. He completed his Ph.D. in Agricultural Zoology Entomology from the Ohio State University, wherein he was honoured with the “Distinguished International Student Award.” JSPS 25:2 338 An academically brilliant young man, Dr Kalkat was also an exceptionally humane and generous man. Truly, life’s experiences not only shape the course of our life; but also mould our persona, the way we think and feel. He was a sensitive young man of 21, when partition turmoil wreaked havoc in the country. Amidst the horror of bloodbath, he vividly remembered how his mother carried only the picture of her son before boarding the train to Jalandhar. The pain of losing his loved ones, the unthinkable trauma of migration, dislocation and alienation, the uphill struggle and toil to survive ‐ all made him an exemplary human ‐ a combination of tough will and a soft heart.
