Thrissur, Kerala: K Radhakrishnan, director of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in Thiruvananthapuram, was yesterday named the next chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
Immediately after his appointment Radhakrishnan, who takes over from G Madhavan Nair, visited the famed Sree Krishna Temple Guruvayoor yesterday evening.
“Religion and science go hand-in-hand. And when the two join it is nice,” said Radhakrishnan.
He takes over from Nair on October 31.
Radhakrishnan got his electrical engineering degree from Kerala University in 1970. He also holds an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore and a doctorate from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur.
“A huge responsibility has been placed on me and at this moment I would like to thank all my gurus (teachers) and among them are Nair and other former ISRO chairmen like Kasturi Rangan and U R Rao,” Radhakrishnan said.
