But make no mistake, for behind that simple, straight face is a razor sharp brain. It is the year of women empowerment and the National Science Centre has decided to celebrate it in its own novel way. If the names Janaki Ammal, Asima Chatterjee, Archana Sharma, Indira Nath, Anandibai Joshi or Kasturi Dutta don't ring a bell, then the Centre is probably the place you must visit soon. On at the National Science Centre from Friday is a unique exhibition ``Leelavati: Indian Women in Science''. Organised by the Centre in association with the Department of Women and Child Development, the exhibition will showcase the achievements of Indian women in science. The show will travel to eight destinations across the country over the next two years, giving an insight into the contribution of Indian women. Divided into five categories Backdrop, Women in India: Looking Back, Beginning of Enlightenment, Post Independence scenario, Science, Society and Women the exhibition has 27 panels complete with audio, video and other forms of interactive commentaries. ``The backdrop'' segment gives the various socio-economic conditions under which Indian women worked in the field of science and technology during different historical periods. In fact, the exhibition itself has been named after Leelavati, the daughter of ancient mathematician Bhaskara II, who taught her mathematics despite the social conditions then.

http://www.math.sfu.ca/histmath/India/12thCenturyAD/Bhaskara.html

Extractions: Bhaskaracharya otherwise known as Bhaskara is probably the most well known mathematician of ancient Indian today. Bhaskara was born in 1114 A.D. according to a statement he recorded in one of his own works. He was from Bijjada Bida near the Sahyadri mountains. Bijjada Bida is thought to be present day Bijapur in Mysore state. Bhaskara wrote his famous Siddhanta Siroman in the year 1150 A.D. It is divided into four parts; Lilavati (arithmetic), Bijaganita (algebra), Goladhyaya (celestial globe), and Grahaganita (mathematics of the planets). Much of Bhaskara's work in the Lilavati and Bijaganita was derived from earlier mathematicians; hence it is not surprising that Bhaskara is best in dealing with indeterminate analysis . In connection with the Pell equation, x^2=1+61y^2, nearly solved by Brahmagupta , Bhaskara gave a method ( Chakravala process ) for solving the equation.

Extractions: Aryabhata was the first Indian satellite launched into a near earth orbit on April 19, 1975 by an Intercosmos rocket of the erstwhile USSR. Aryabhata carried three payloads - one each for X-ray, astronomy, solar physics and aeronomy. The mission was a success and provided the early experience to ISRO for planning, developing and managing a satellite mission. Bhaskara - I and II were the first two experimental remote sensing satellites launched on June 7, 1979 and November 20, 1981 respectively by Intercosmos rockets. Both the satellites carried two TV cameras, one in visible and the other in near-infrared band and having a 1 Km resolution and a 3-frequency Passive Microwave Radiometer. The Bhaskara mission saw the birth of a systematic ground segment and applications programme. Together with the capabilities developed in satellite and sensor development, a truly indigenous space-capability was the result of the Bhaskara mission. Rohini: A series of technological/scientific satellites, launched by India's own launch vehicle, SLV-3. First one was used to measure the performance of SLV-3, second and third carried a SMARTsensor - the first Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera developed in-house. Rohini saw the entry of ISRO to the use of CCD technology and system design for sensors.

During the period 7-9 May, 1998, Moradabad witnessed minor communal disturbances over the Tazia procession as part of Moharram festival. The trouble started when some miscreants allegedly threw acid bottles from a multi-storyed building on the Tazia Procession. Police had to fire in air to disperse the unruly mob. Curfew was imposed in the troubled areas under four police stations in the city. Besides four deaths, 16 persons were injured in these incidents. The police rounded up 242 persons. Three Companies of the Rapid Action Force were deployed in addition to the local police to control the communal situation in the affected areas. Even though curfew was lifted in a phased manner in the troubled areas, tension continued in the city for a few days. Presently, the situation is under control and constant vigil is being maintained. Now, I come to communal situation in Hyderabad. On the 1st June, 1998, a highly derogatory pamphlet was found in circulation in Shamser Ganj locality of the old city of Hyderabad. A local MLA brought the pamphlet to the notice of the Police Commissioner, Hyderabad and expressed apprehension of communal disturbances in the city if such activities continued as it hurt the sentiments of the minority community.

Extractions: FROM building the first experimental satellite Aryabhata in 1975 to the world class operational Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite series on the one hand and the third generation communication satellite INSAT-3 on the other, is indeed an impressive track record by any standards for the 30-year-old Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It could well be argued that the development of launch vehicle technology, which began in the mid-1960s, has not achieved the same degree of success. Indeed, many, both within the organisation and without, believe that the launch vehicle front did not receive the same kind of focus as satellite development did, particularly after Satish Dhawan retired from ISRO in 1984. At a time when ISRO's launch vehicle development has reached an important phase with the launch of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, it would be appropriate to put satellite technology development also in perspective.

Extractions: in Sriharikota INDIA'S space quest truly came of age on April 18 when the gigantic Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) roared skyward from the spaceport at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, and 17 minutes later put in orbit the Geo-synchronous Satellite (GSAT) weighing 1,540 kg. That unequivocally demonstrated the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) capability to put a satellite into a Geo-synchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) at a height of 36,000 km above the earth. India thus joins a select club of countries that have the capability to put a 2,000 kg satellite into a GTO. The other members are: the United States, Russia, Japan, China and the European Consortium of Arianespace. The success marks the end of India's dependence on others for launching its communication satellites. Till now the indigenous INSAT satellites, weighing 2,500 kg, were put in orbit either by the U.S. space shuttle or by the Ariane vehicle of Arianespace from Kourou island, French Guiana.
