One such extraordinary personality is Padma Vibhushan Dr. Shri. Anil Kakodkar. ‘Dr. Anil Kakodkar – A Man of Mission’ is his life story (originally written in Marathi language). Nuclear science is a subject of great importance from the viewpoint of security of the nation. At the same time it is also a subject beyond the understanding of a common man. While introducing to us its importance from the deserts of Pokhran, Dr. Kakodkar dispels the confusion between the concept of a nuclear bomb and nuclear power.
