Vasant Ranchhoddas Gowariker (25 March 1933 – 2 January 2015)

Vasant Gowariker was a distinguished Indian scientist known for his major contributions to space research and monsoon forecasting.

He was born in Pune and completed his early education in Kolhapur. For higher studies, he went to United Kingdom, where he earned his M.Sc. and later a Ph.D. from University of Birmingham under the guidance of Dr. F. H. Garner. After completing his education, he worked at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment in Harwell, England.

During this period, Vikram Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space program, noticed his talent and encouraged him to return to India. Accepting this invitation, Gowariker came back and joined the space research program at Thumba.

At that time, India’s space program was in its early stages. Gowariker focused on developing solid propellants for rockets. Within a short time, he successfully developed suitable solid fuel, which significantly accelerated India’s space research efforts.

He held several important positions in the Indian Space Commission. From 1973 to 1979, he served as the head of the Chemical Division at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, and from 1979 to 1985, he was the Director of the center. Later, he served as Secretary of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, and as an advisor to the Prime Minister (1991–1993). He also served as the Vice-Chancellor of University of Pune.

Gowariker made remarkable contributions to agriculture as well. Since Indian agriculture depends heavily on monsoon rains, he developed a reliable monsoon forecasting model by studying 16 influencing parameters. His model proved to be highly successful. He also created a global fertilizer database (fertilizer compendium), which gained international recognition.

He was deeply committed to popularizing science. A gifted speaker, he could explain complex scientific ideas in simple language. He was closely associated with the Marathi Vidnyan Parishad and served as its president from 1994 to 2000.

In recognition of his contributions, he received the Aryabhata Award from the Astronautical Society of India, as well as the prestigious Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan from the Government of India.

He passed away at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune.
