With utmost sadness we share the news of the passing of Dr. K Kasturirangan. His mortal remains will be brought to RRI on Sunday, 27/04/25 between 10 AM - Noon for people to pay their last respects. PMO India Principal Scientific Adviser, Govt. of India DSTIndia Dr Jitendra Singh Abhay Karandikar Tarun Souradeep


Dr Rangan had a vibrant, larger-than-life presence at Raman Research Institute - deeply attached & committed to its well-being. I feel truly blessed to have had the privilege of a very personal and deep association, and have learned immensely from his vast wisdom and razor-sharp acumen.
