Dr. Swaminathan was an accomplished achiever but so humble and down to earth. There will never be another one like him. He has left a very rich legacy and the people of India, especially farmers, have lost a true friend.

Apart from scientist he was a good human being. Very kind and humble person. A great loss for people in India. A man of commitment and hard work. He always think of poor and their upliftment...He strived for food security and sustainability. We are eating food three times a day because of him. He lived a meaningful life. He is deserving for Bhat Ratna...

A great salute to you Professor.
