Professor Arcot Ramachandran – the first Secretary of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India and architect of the first Science and Technology Plan for the country – breathed his last on 17 May 2018 at his residence in Bengaluru at the age of 95 years. His death is an irreparable loss not only to his family members, but also to his former students, colleagues and friends. Each one of them would reminisce about him – according to their association with him – as an affectionate family man, an educator, an accomplished scientist, or a committed and an efficient administrator.
