DRDO Chief Dr. Vijay Kumar Saraswat, Scientific Adviser to Raksha Mantri and a scientist best known for his association with the successful Akash SAM programme, has been honoured with a Padma Bhushan.

"It is DRDO that has got the award and it is a recognition of DRDOs contribution towards nation building" said Dr. Saraswat said.
