About Prof. SVM Satyanarayana

The Selfless Teacher Ever Lived ! The greatest gift to physics students.

Professor S. V. M. Satyanarayana, affectionately known as Satya Sir by his students and friends, was more than an academic mentor; he was a beacon of knowledge and a pillar of support. A true master of the art of teaching, a revered educator and a beloved father figure to countless Students and Teachers. 

In 1996, when SVM Satyanarayana was doing Ph.D at Indira Gandhi Centre of Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam he taught in the Summer Training Program in Physics (STIP) organized by IGCAR. A few Students who attended that STIP program and impressed by his teaching, requested him to teach Problem solving in Physics on Sundays during Sundays. He accepted their request and started to teach on Saturdays and Sundays in the Nuclear Physics Department at University of Madras.
