Over a knowledge, ours is a golden age; the career spanning more than four decades, challenge before us is to deploy the strengths Professor Gadgil has championed the of our age to heal the wounds. Life is an effort towards the preservation of information-based, progressive and ecology in India, which includes cooperative enterprise, evolving organisms establishing the Centre for Ecological capable of handling greater and greater Sciences under the aegis of the Indian quantities, of increasingly more complex Institute of Science, Bengaluru in 1983 information, ever more effectively. Social and serving as the Head of the Western animals have taken this to new heights, with be unhappy in this as well as the nether Ghats Ecology Expert Panel of 2010, humans surpassing them, all thanks to the world. The ruling classes have always tried popularly known as the Gadgil language abilities, and the greatly enhanced to keep the populace ignorant as preached Commission. An alumnus of Harvard capacity to learn, teach, and to elaborate by Laozi, a contemporary of Buddha: The University, he is a recipient of the Padma memes, including mythologies and people are hard to rule when they have too Shri and Padma Bhushan from the scientific knowledge. -
Probing the Universe at Low Radio Frequencies Using the GMRT
The GMRT : a look at the Past, Present and Future Yashwant Gupta & Govind Swarup National Centre for Radio Astrophysics Pune India URSI GASS Montreal 2017 The GMRT : a look at the Past, Present and Future Yashwant Gupta & Govind Swarup National Centre for Radio Astrophysics Pune India URSI GASS Montreal 2017 Overview of today’s talk . Part I : the GMRT -- a historical perspective . Part II : the GMRT -- current status . Part III : future -- the upgraded GMRT Some history . It is the early 1980s… the VLA has recently become operational . Radio astronomy has shifted from the low frequencies, where it was born, to higher frequencies (cm and higher wavelengths) -- obvious reasons . Note, however, techniques like self-cal have been shown to work . In India, the radio astronomy group at the Tata Institute, under the leadership of Govind Swarup, is looking for the next big challenge… They have already : . Built the Ooty Radio Telescope in the late 1960s – still operational & producing international quality results (in fact, currently being upgraded with new receiver system!) . Built the Ooty Synthesis Radio Telescope (1980s) – short-lived but valuable learnings . Built up considerable experience in low frequencies (metre wavelengths) Birth of the GMRT . Motivation : bridge the gap in radio astronomy facilities at low frequencies and address science problems best studied at metre wavelengths . First concept : 1984 (started with large cylinders); evolved to 34 dishes of 45 metres by 1986 . Project cleared and funding secured by 1987 . Construction started : 1990; first antenna erected : 1992 . First light observations : 1997 – 1998 . Released for world-wide use : 2002 The GMRT : turning it ON Jan 1997 : First fringes with the prototype GMRT correlator Dec 1998 : first light pulsar observation with the GMRT Dedication of the GMRT The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope was dedicated to the World Scientific Community by the Chairman of TIFR Council, Shri Ratan Tata. -

Concept Note Indo-South African Flagship Programme in Astronomy
Concept Note Indo-South African Flagship Programme in Astronomy Preamble: The Indo-South Africa Flagship Workshop meetings took place at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore on 15th-16th September 2014, and at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune on 19th September, 2014 and were sanctioned by the Departments of Science and Technology of both countries. A list of participants is included in the appendix. 1. Introduction India and South Africa share common aspirations for scientific and technological development, and for the growth of human capital resources. The countries are members of the BRICS consortium, and have a current bi-lateral agreement to foster joint progress. Their shared goals are particularly apparent in the area of astronomy and astrophysics. Indo-African astronomy cooperation began with projects in radio astronomy in Nigeria and Mauritius in the 1980s, and the optical Nainital-Cape Survey, started in 1997. The Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) joined SALT in 2007, and the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (NCRA) has recently joined the SKA. Astronomy captures the imagination of people everywhere, and touches a fundamental human desire to understand the universe that surrounds us and our place in it. It provides an ideal way to attract young learners into scientific and technical studies, developing the human capacity for the knowledge-based economy of the future. Its appeal transcends boundaries of class and race and speaks to all members of our societies. The goal of the Indo-South African Flagship Programme in Astronomy is to exploit these basic strengths for the mutual betterment of our peoples. -
