  • It is located at a site about 80 km north of Pune. 

The previous two Indian IEE Milestones were:

  • Sir J.C. Bose– In 2012 IEE recognised him for demonstrating the generation and reception of radio waves in 1895 (in 2012) and
  • Sir C.V. Raman– For the Nobel Prize-winning (in 1930) ‘scattering of light’ phenomenon observed by in 1928

  • In 1963, the young branch of astronomy, called `Radio Astronomy‘ got a kick start in India with the establishment of a radio astronomy group at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai.
  • The group designed and built the Ooty Radio Telescope.
  • In the early 80’s an ambitious plan for a new telescope was proposed – the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope.
