On the birth anniversary of #JagadisChandraBose, I proudly remember the moment in 2012 when, as the Head of Physics at #PresidencyUniversityKolkata, I received, along with VC Malabika Sarkar, the #IEEE #MilestonePlaque recognising Bose's seminal contribution to microwave research
Dr Peter Staeker, then President-Elect of IEEE, had flown from New York to confer this honour. This was the first #IEEE plaque given to an Indian Institution. Later the same day, a second such milestone plaque was presented to IACS to commemorate the work done by C V Raman there
I am delighted to note that the #IEEE has now announced that the 3rd milestone plaque to be awarded to India would be to the #GMRT #GiantMetrewaveRadioTelescope, built by the late @govindswarup & his colleagues #NCRA-TIFR in #Pune led by @yash_gupta_62. Wish #Swarup were with us!
