  • Tribute: Amulya K N Reddy - a Pioneer Takes Leave
    Tribute: Amulya K N Reddy - A Pioneer Takes Leave Cricketer, electrochemist, energy analyst, rural energy practitioner, appropriate technology pioneer, spokesman for sustainable development, campaigner against nuclear energy and weapons, respected teacher and more than anything, a person who has tried to live up to Gandhiji’s talisman. A homage to Amulya K N Reddy, who died on May 7. Sreekumar N & Girish Sant How do you describe Amulya? “Cricketer, electrochemist, energy analyst, rural energy practitioner, appropriate technology pioneer, spokesman for sustainable development, campaigner against nuclear energy and weapons, respected teacher and more than anything, a person who has tried to live up to Gandhiji’s talisman”. This is what we wrote when we prepared a website of his works in October last year, on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Does it complete the description of Amulya K.N. Reddy (Amulya, as he asked many of us to call him), who passed away on May 7 at Bangalore, at the age of 76? Does it explain how his work and writings inspired many researchers and engineers to take up pro-poor development initiatives? Or how in these times when centralised, high investment driven, supply oriented approaches dominate the development debate, Amulya's writings continue to inspire many of us on possible alternatives? It does not, and when we start writing this piece about him, we find it near impossible to capture all aspects of his work and personality. Amulya was born on October 21, 1930 into a well-known family of Bangalore. His first passion was cricket, which he retained for the rest of his life.

Its climate was salubrious and I never saw a ceiling fan until I was in my teens. I used to walk a couple of miles to school through the center of town, without my parents fearing that I would be run over. Today, Bangalore is the IT capital of India, choked with vehicular traffic and highly polluted. Bangalore always had excellent schools and colleges. I did my schooling in a Jesuit institution, St. Joseph's, with the motto: Faith and Toil. There, I was fortunate in having an outstanding and inspiring science teacher, Alec Alvares, who created in me an abiding love of science and the importance of systematic work. The interest in science was strengthened during my late teens by my close friendship with Radhakrishnan and Ramaseshan from the family of Professor Raman, the Nobel Laureate in Physics. I went on to do my B.Sc. (Honors) in Chemistry and M.Sc. in Physical Chemistry in Central College, Bangalore, after which I went to U.K.

  • THE NEW PARADIGM for ENERGY Amulya KN Reddy
    THE NEW PARADIGM FOR ENERGY a Amulya K.N. Reddy (International Energy Initiative, 25/5 Borebank Road, Benson Town, Bangalore 560 046) At any period in history, according to Thomas Kuhn, there is a ruling paradigm1 within the constraints of which most thinking takes place. When its effectiveness diminishes and it begins to break down, a paradigm shift takes place and a new paradigm comes into being. What follows is a brief account of the paradigm shift that is taking place with regard to energy, and of the perhaps unique international collaboration involving Jose Goldemberg (Brazil), Thomas Johansson (Sweden), Amulya Reddy (India) and Robert Williams (USA) whose contribution to the new energy paradigm was recognised by the award of the Volvo Environment Prize 2000. The collaborators (popularly known in energy circles as the "Gang of Four") came together through visits to Sao Paulo and Princeton. Though they were four individuals from four countries in four continents, they discovered a great deal of like-mindedness. They had mutual respect. They also had humility in the sense that each one knew that he did not know it all and that, in order to develop greater understanding, he had to listen to the others and learn from what he heard. They worked with an equality that was quite unlike most North- South collaborations in which Northerners are more equal than the Southerners. Their chemistry worked. They have sustained their interaction for over 20 years. Even without an institutional umbrella, they created a “virtual institution” long before modern information technology with its faxes, emails, etc.
