On Monday, Google celebrated the 100th birth anniversary of scientist and innovator Vikram Sarabhai, with a doodle. Dr. Sarabhai is considered as the father of India's space program, and his centenary comes just weeks after India's Chandrayaan-2 mission to the moon.
Born in Ahmedabad in 1919, Dr. Sarabhai earned his doctorate at Cambridge. He founded the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad in November 1947.
After Russia's Sputnik launch, he managed to convince the Indian government on the need for India, a developing country, to have its own space program.
Happy Birthday Ranveer Singh
Who is Vikram Sarabhai?
Dr Vikram established ISRO in 1962, which was earlier known as the Indian National Committee for Space Research. Born in Ahmedabad on 12 August 1919, he matriculated from the Gujarat College before earning his doctorate from Cambridge University.
After coming back to India, he established the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad on 11 November, 1947. At this time he was just 28-years-old.
Dr Vikram successfully persuaded the Indian government of the significance of a space programme after the launch of Russian Sputnik. He said, "There are some who question the importance of space actissvities in a developing country.
To us, there is no uncertainty of purpose... We should be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man & society."
