Title Indian oceanography in perspective
 
Creator Raghu Prasad, R
 
Subject Oceanography
 
Description The paper gives a brief review of the progress in oceanography in India since the
middle of the nineteenth century when this important field of science had its beginning
in this country. In order to make future planning more purposeful and for the
proper growth of the subject, the need for a stock-taking and development of strong
schools specializing in different aspects of oceanography is emphasized. The inescapability
of a co-operative approach in oceanography, if substantial progress is to be
achieved, is reiterated. The paper concludes with a tribute to Dr. N. K. Panikkar who
has been the main architect in planning and organizing the many National Institutes
dealing with oceanography, marine biology and fisheries.
