    Raghunath Mashelkar has made outstanding contributions to polymer engineering, notably in modelling of polymerisation reactors, diffusion in polymeric media, transport studies in swelling polymers, as well as non-Newtonian flows. His sustained contributions in modelling of PET reactors have provided new insights into the behaviour of industrial reactors, whereas his work on diffusion in flowing polymeric media has led to new strategies of tackling problems in ‘slipping fluids’. Raghunath’s work on swelling polymers has led to new approaches to diffusion modulation. His engineering analysis of secondary flows and particle motion/deformation are both innovative and pragmatically important. He heads India’s premier institution in chemical technology and engineering and is clearly a leader in the Indian engineering scenario.

    Dr Raghunath A Mashelkar's educational journey

    D Mashelkar receiving the Padma Shri from President Dr. R Venkataraman.

    IT WAS a difficult journey indeed. I was born in a by called Mashel in Goa. My father died when I was six and my mother had to migrate to Bombay in search of a job. She was not literate and had to struggle very hard to man both ends meet. inom went barefoot until the age of 12, and two meals a day was a great utmaning.

    I studied under street lights, making use of the cement benches at Janjira Motor Works around Chowpatty in Mumbai.

    I would study up to 2 a.m., at the Central Railway station as the platform would be quiet after the gods train for Gujarat left at 10 p.m. Basically wherever inom could find a place I would study. Life was so difficult that standing first in class became a necessity which continued throughout my career.

    No guides or coaching class
    I attended a Marathi medium municipal school and scored 87 percent mark
