“The development of the nation is intimately linked with understanding and application of science and technology by its people.”

“He informed the whole of his team about any new project and started working on it only after having discussed with everyone.”

“Prof Sarabhai assessed the work capacity of an engineer or a scientist not by his degree or his training but by his self-confidence.”

“He always gave new technical knowledge to the engineers and at that moment his face was lit with joy.”

“We look down on our scientists if they engage in outside consultation. We implicitly promote the ivory tower.”

“He said that failures compos us more as compared to successes.”
