'''Suresh Chand Jain''' (5 December 1926 – 10 December 2009) was an Indian physicist and director of the [[Defence Research and Development Organization]]. Known for his research in solid state physics, Jain was an elected fellow of the [[Indian National Science Academy]] and [[National Academy of Sciences, India]]. In 1966, the [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research]], the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology]], one of the highest Indian science awards for his contributions to physical sciences.<ref name="View Bhatnagar Awardees">{{cite web | url=http://ssbprize.gov.in/Content/AwardeeList.aspx | title=View Bhatnagar Awardees | publisher=Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize | date=2016 | access-date=12 November 2016}}</ref>{{Refn|group=note|Long link – please select award year to see details}}

== Biography ==
[[File:IIT Delhi.JPG|thumb|235px|IIT Delhi]]
S. C. Jain, born on 5 December 1926 in [[Saharanpur]] in the Indian state of [[Uttar Pradesh]], earned an MSc degree in physics in 1949 and followed it up with a PhD in solid state physics from [[Delhi University]] in 1955, carrying out his research at the [[National Physical Laboratory of India|National Physical Laboratory]], Delhi under [[Kariamanickam Srinivasa Krishnan]].<ref name="Biography">{{Cite web |url=http://en.encyclopediaofjainism.com/index.php?title=DR._S._C._JAIN |title=Biography |date=2017 |publisher=Encyclopedia of Jainism}}</ref> Subsequently, he moved to the UK to take up the position of a faculty member at [[University of Leeds]] and worked there until 1958.<ref name="Deceased fellow">{{Cite web |url=http://insaindia.res.in/detail/N79-0340 |title=Deceased fellow |date=2017 |publisher=Indian National Science Academy}}</ref>{{Refn|group=note|Long link – please click ''J'' and select ''SC Jain'' to see details}} On his return to India, he joined the [[Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi]] where he served as the head of the department of physics from 1965 to 1968 and as the dean of faculty of science from 1966 to 1969. Concurrently, he worked at his alma mater, the National Physical Laboratory, and held the position of a deputy director during 1965–69, and as the director of ''Solid State Physics Laboratory'' (SSPL) during the period 1969–74. While heading the SSPL, he also held the directorship of the [[Defence Research and Development Organization]] (DRDO). In between, he did visiting professor assignments at [[University of Illinois]], [[Atomic Energy Research Establishment]] and [[Imperial College of London]] (1975–77).<ref name="Deceased fellow" />

Jain died on 10 December 2009, at the age of 83.<ref name="Deceased fellow" />
