NOBEL SCIENTIST’S ADVISE
What more could be done to improve research levels in India? I have always felt that for research to improve, students need to be exposed to the very best research at an early stage. One change over the last several decades is that individual universities have lost ground to large research institutes. It would be a good idea to embed research institutes inside university campuses, and perhaps also integrate research more into universities. There also needs to be a strong emphasis on merit in selection of students and faculty, and scientists need to be free to pursue their work free of any local politics. Finally, education should be valued. Many of my teachers were not great research scientists but were excellent teachers, and I am grateful to them.
NEWTON’S WORDS
The greatest discovery of Newton is the gravitational force. Newton always wondered at the absence of a gravitational repulsive force. Such puzzles and wonders made him realize the limitations of his model. This is clearly seen when he said, ”I am like a child playing on the shore with pebbles and shells while whole ocean lies before me”
““Education is the Education is the manifestation of manifestation of perfection already in perfection already in the man”the man”
