Solution
Rev. Peter Bernard Pereira
Rev. Father Bernard Pereira was the priest-in-charge of the church in Thumba, Kerala. He was a person who immediately understood the dilemma in the minds of Dr. Kalam and Professor Sarabhai. He realized that he would have to make a sacrifice in the interests of science. At the same time, he could not do this without the approval of his congregation. So he put the concept before the entire gathering in forceful terms and got unanimous support for the setting up of the space research centre.
