ABOUT ANIL KAKODKAR

Dr Anil Kakodkar is a famous Indian nuclear scientist. Currently, he's the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commision of India (AECI) and the Secretary to the Government of India, Department of Atomic Energy. He was also the director of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre at Trombay from the year 1996-2000 before being granted the opportunity of leading India's nuclear programme.


Anil Kakodkar was born on 11 November, 1943 in the Barawani village located in the state of Madhya Pradesh. He's the son of Mrs Kamala Kakodkar & Mr.P.Kakodkar, both of whom happen to be Gandhian freedom fighters. His early education happened here and at Khargoan. After this Anil Kakodkar went away to Bombay to pursue his post-matriculation studies. He graduated from the Ruparel Collage there.


Anil Kakodkar then joined VJTI in Bombay Univrsities in 1963 to obtain a degree in Mechanical Engineering. In the year 1964 Anil Kakodkar joined the Bhabha atomic Research centre (BARC), He also notched a masters degree in experimental stress analysis from the University of Nottingham in the year 1969. The life history of Anil Kakodkar's career as nuclear scientist further saw him join the Reactor Engineering Division of the BARC.


Anil Kakodkar also has the credit of being a member of the core team of architects of India's Peaceful nuclear tests that were conducted during the years 1974 and 1998.


Anil Kakodkar played a key role in the design and construction of the Dhruva reactor, the 100 MW high flux reactor, a completely original concepts which has made this reactor one of the most powerful systems of it's and where several new technologies related to electron beam welding, reactive material fabrication and dissimilar metal joints were deployed on large scale for the first time. Dr. Kakodkar's decades of dedication and pioneering efforts in the indigenous development of large number of critical system of Indian Pressurized Heavy water Reactors his contribution to safety-related research and his piloting of several new state-of-art technology for this reactor system have significantly contributed to India's self-reliance in the area of nuclear power reactors.


His work in rehabilitation to Kalpakkam-1 and -2 and Rajasthan-1-all of which at one stage appeared to be on the verge of being written off are important examples of his engineering capability t sove difficult problems. Dr. Kakodkar continues to be actively involved in programmers related to argumentation of thorium utilization in our nuclear programme leads the team engaged in the design of the advanced heavy water reactor. He has, over the years, built competent teams of highly specialized scientist and engineers in the reactor engineering programme. He has brought out more than 250 scientist papers and reports on various aspects of his work.




In the year 1996, Anil Kakodkar Became the youngest Director of the BARC after Homi Bhabha himself. From the year 2000 onwards, he has been leading the atomic energy Commission of India and playing secretary to the department of atomic Energy. Dr. Anil Kakodkar has been playing a circular role in demanding sovereignty for India's nuclear tests. In fact, he is known for being a strong advocate of India's self-reliance by employing Thorium as a fuel for nuclear energy

Aryabhatta the mathematician short story

  ARYABHATTA ARYABHATTA Aryabhatta (476-550 A.D.) was born in Patliputra in Magadha, modern Patna in Bihar. Many are of the view that  was born in the south India especially Kerala and lived in Magadha at the time of the Gupta rulers; time which is known as the golden age of India. There is no evidence that he was born outside Patliputra and traveled to Magadha, the center of education and learning of his studies where he even set up a coaching center. Whatever his origin, it cannot be argued that he lived in Patliputra where he he wrote his famous treatise the Aryabhatta-siddhanta but more famously the Aryabhatiya, the only work to have survived, It contains Mathematical and astronomical theories that have been revealed to be quite accurate in modern mathematics. For instance, he wrote that if 3 is added to 100 and then multiply 8 then added to 62,000 then divided by 20,000 the answer will be equal to the circumference of a circle of diameter twenty thousand. This calculates to 3.1416

ARCHIMEDES   ARCHIMEDES Born in 287 B.C. in Syracuse, Greece Archimedes is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He is also famed for his invention and for the colorful ways he is believed to have made them. Little is known about Archimedes's life. He was the son of an astronomer (someone who studies outer space, such as the stars) named Phidias. He may also have been related to Hieron, King have been of Syracuse, and his son Gelon. Archimedes studied in the learning capital of Alexandria, Egypt, at the school that had been established by the Greek mathematician Euclid (third century B.C.E.) . He later returned to live in his native city of Syracuse. There are various stores about how Archimedes made his discoveries. A famous one tells hoe he uncovered a attempt to cheat king Hieron. The king ordered a golden crown and gave the crown's maker the exact amount of gold needed. The maker delivered a crown of the required weight, but Hieron suspected that some s

  STEPHEN HAWKING STEPHEN HAWKING Professor Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 in Oxford, England, which is exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo. From a very early age, Hawking showed the qualities of a scientist, he was always inquisitive. He liked to build models to see how things worked. Hawking went to the High school for Girls (yes, the school was supposed to be for girls) at St. Albans at the age of 8. Later, he switched to St. Albans school by passing the eleven-plus examination. Hawking was a keen child, but he was not the brightest in his competitive A stream class. Some of his  classmates did not believe he could do well, though they give him the nickname of Einstein. Hawking's father who was a doctor, wanted him to study medicine at Oxford However, he was more interested in mathematics. It turned out that he studied Physics, as the University collage did not provide degree studies in mathematics. Hawking was awarded a first class honours degree in
