Jagadish Chandra Bose was an eminent Indian scientist. He pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics, made significant contributions to plant science, and laid the foundations of experimental science in the Indian subcontinent. He demonstrated that plants are also sensitive to heat, cold, light, noise and various other external stimuli. His experimental work in millimeter-band radio was recognized as an IEEE Milestone in Electrical and Computer Engineering, the first such recognition of a discovery in India.
