May 21, 2025

Eminent astrophysicist Dr Jayant Vishnu Narlikar, one of India’s best known astro-scientists, died in Pune on Tuesday.

He was 86 and is survived by three daughters. He passed away in sleep.

He was awarded Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan for his contribution in the field of astrophysics.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the passing away of Prof Narlikar a “monumental loss to the scientific community.”

The Prime Minister said Prof Narlikar was a “luminary, especially in the field of astrophysics.” His pioneering works, especially key theoretical frameworks, will be valued by generations of researchers. He made a mark as an institution builder, grooming centres of learning and innovation for young minds, the Prime Minister said in his condolence message.

He said Prof Narlikar had also gone a long way in making science accessible to common citizens.
