The theoretical geophysicist, Janardan Ganpatrao Negi passed away on 9 November 2016 in Hyderabad. He was born on 1 August 1936 at Khirgaon, a village near Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, where there were no schools in those days. Although Negi experienced travails of poverty in his youth, he overcame the odds to be invited to contribute to the NASA space mission efforts in 1968 at age of 32 years. His early schooling was in Indore and later he graduated from Gwalior with a B Sc degree (1956) and then earned his M Sc in Physics with specialization in electronics (DSB College Nainital, Agra University, 1958).
