Vijay Bhatkar is an Indian computer scientist and a Padma Shri andPadma Bhushan awardee. Dr. Vijay Bhatkar is one of the most acclaimed and internationally acknowledged scientists of India. India's computer magazine Dataquest has placed him among the star pioneers who shaped India's IT industry.
Dr. Bhatkar is best known as the architect of India’s national initiative in supercomputing where he led the development of Param supercomputers. When India was denied the supercomputer by USA, Dr.Bhatkar took the challenge of developing an indigenous supercomputer in a record time of 3 years and delivered Param 8000 in 1991 and went on to develop terascale Param 10000 in 1998, propelling India into the exclusive club of select nations, who possess this strategic technology. Based on the Param series of supercomputers, he built the National Param Supercomputing Facility (NPSF) which has been now made available as a grid computing facility through Garuda grid on the National Knowledge Network (NKN) providing nationwide access to High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure. Today, Dr. Bhatkar has once again taken the lead in proposing the National Mission on Development of Exascale Supercomputing Capability, Capacity and Infrastructure on National Knowledge Network.
Dr. Bhatkar is also widely known for bringing ICT to the masses through a wide range of path - breaking initiatives, such as the celebrated GIST multilingual technology covering India’s 22 official languages with 10 diverse scriptsthat has dissolved the language barrier on computers once for all; MKCL’s computer literacy programme that made a world mark by creating 7.5 million computer literates within a decade; Education to Home (ETH) initiativefor bringing the benefits of ICT to school education, in learning, teaching, administration, governance and communication & collaboration.
In the 80’s, Dr Bhatkar substantially contributed to the ushering of electronics revolution in India. He led the development of several innovations such as India’s first fully solid state colour television, colour TV broadcast during Asiad in 1982, distributed control systems for Indian power plants and process industries,traffic control systems, automationof security systems, defence simulators and the like from the component level upward that contributed to building the indigenous foundation of India’ electronics industry which was to become India’s IT industry later.
He is presently the Chancellor of India International Multiversity, Chairman of ETH Research Lab, Chief Mentor of I2IT, and National President of Vijnan Bharati.
INCREDIBLE BHARATHIYA
