Dr. Rao’s Career

Dr. V. Bhujanga Rao (b 10.10.1951) has had a distinguished career in DRDO for over forty years and superannuated in 2015 as Distinguished Scientist & Director General for Naval Systems and Materials. He has stellar accomplishments to his name in acoustic science and engineering and its underwater applications by the Indian Navy. Equally important are his continuing efforts to discharge his social responsibility by using his competence in the area to fill an important unmet need of India, of giving hopes to millions of children who are born deaf. These achievements make him singularly suited for election under this special category.
