Dr. Rajagopala Chidambaram: A Renowned Nuclear Scientist and Visionary (1936–2025)

Dr. Rajagopala Chidambaram, one of India's most distinguished scientists, led a career that spanned over five decades, leaving an indelible mark on India's scientific and technological progress. He served as the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India (2001–2018), Director of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (1990-1993), and Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission & Secretary to the Government of India, Department of Atomic Energy (1993-2000). He also chaired the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (1994–1995).

Dr. Chidambaram played a key role in the nuclear tests of 1974 and 1998, establishing India as a recognized nuclear power on the global stage. As a leading physicist, his research in high-pressure physics, crystallography, and materials science significantly advanced the understanding of these fields, laying the foundation for modern materials science research in India.

In recognition of his outstanding contributions, Dr. Chidambaram was honored with the Padma Shri (1975) and Padma Vibhushan (1999) and received honorary doctorates from several universities. He was also a fellow of prominent Indian and international science academies.

Reflecting on his passing, Dr. Ajit Kumar Mohanty, Secretary of the Department of Atomic Energy, stated, “Dr. Chidambaram was a doyen of science and technology whose contributions advanced India’s nuclear capabilities and strategic self-reliance. His loss is an irreparable one for the scientific community and the nation.”

Dr. Chidambaram will be remembered as a trailblazer, an inspirational leader, and a dedicated mentor to countless scientists and engineers. His legacy will continue to inspire generations.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Chidambaram in the early hours of January 4, 2025, in Mumbai. Our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones during this time of grief.
