In this second episode of Satya Samvad by Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar, he speaks to Prof. R. K. Kotnala on his invention - the Hydroelectric cell as well as the movement towards realizing the values of Dharma with modern science. Bharat is surefootedly moving on the path to reclaiming its place as Vishvaguru. Bharatiyata advocates for a holistic and sustainable approach to life and society, innovation and development, rooted in the principles of balance, interconnectedness, and ethical responsibility. Within science and engineering, embracing Bharatiyata and its Dharmic premise means designing technologies and conducting research with mindfulness towards the delicate equilibrium of natural ecosystems.

It involves integrating traditional wisdom with modern scientific knowledge to create solutions that harmonize with nature rather than exploit it. One of the most seminal works in this direction and in the world of science from Bharat in the 21st century has been undertaken by Professor R. K. Kotnala, in his invention of the hydroelectric cell, a milestone in the humanitarian movement towards net carbon zero in the world.

Prof. Kotnala is widely respected in the scientific community for his remarkable achievements across various fields including solar cells, multiferroics, spintronics, clean energy, environmental sciences, and scientific ethics. He is chairman of National Accredition Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and Raja Ramanna Fellow in the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. He was a former head of the Environmental Sciences & Biomedical Metrology Division as well as Chief Scientist at CSIR National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi. He undertook one of the first doctorate research studies on solar cells in the country. As of today, he has published over 560 research papers with more than 13,000 citations and an h-index 57. Dr. Kotnala hydropowers the path to a better tomorrow with green energy, clean energy, infusing Dharma into every scientific stride, nurturing not just a sustainable future, but a conscientious one.
