Bhabha's death in an air crash on Mont Blanc on 24 January 1966, while he was on his
way to Vienna for a meeting of Scientific Advisory Committee of the International Atomic Energy
Agency, lost to the world an outstanding scientist who was an imaginative administrator with a
rich and many-sided personality and a great capacity for friendship. His scientific status in India
was pre-eminent and for a decade or more before his death, his proposals on science and
technology in India, especially for large programme on the peaceful, use of atomic energy, were
checked by the Government of India with unhesitating confidence. Scientists in India have felt a
sense of loss so deep that nothing like it could happen again in a generation.
Many tributes from many countries have already been paid to Bhabha. They have come
from people all over the world who were his friends and had worked with him in one or more of
his wide fields of interests. He was a truly international figure of science and was known to
everybody at the many International, conferences which, somehow or other, he managed to
attend without in any way neglecting his other multifarious duties and activities.

General of Education in the State of Mysore.
