By Our Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI,
APRIL 3.
Noted science writer Dilip M. Salwi died here on Friday following a heart attack. He was 52.
He is survived by his wife and two children.
A post-graduate in astrophysics from the Delhi University, Mr. Salwi has authored more than 50 books, many of them bestsellers.
He made it to the Limca Book of Records for two consecutive years — 1998 and 1999.
On the first occasion, his name was included for his science fiction, "Fire on the Moon", which sold more than three lakh copies.
The second time, it was for writing the largest number of popular science books for children.
Mr. Salwi is a recipient of several awards, including the Children's Book Trust award for scientists of India, and the Department of Science and Technology's NCSTC National Prize for popularisation of science among children.
