Promoting Research and Innovation

The progress of the nation depends on its sustained growth of education and research in science and technology. To meet the objective, our research should bear international comparison in terms of standards of attainment. A major weakness of Indian education and research is the relatively very small part played by the universities in the sum total of Indian research. The government can take several steps to encourage research and innovations in the universities. Promotion of research in liberal arts and social sciences, including inter-disciplinary research is significant too. The government needs to increase its allocations for Rand D activities. At the institutional level, there is a need to link teaching with research. The government needs to invest in faculty development and provide incentives for research, promote collaborative efforts between institutions in research.

Scientists in government sectors are being overburdened through too much reporting ( monthly, quarterly and so on) though with no course correction suggestion from the peer group. Give enough time to the scientist to execute his plan and then review. For routine monitoring, there are system of head etc

Keeping in view that majority of project based fund is minted by few selected groups/ individuals on the basis of their connectivity/ being privileged, project based funding should be abolished. Rather funding should be directed toward institution. Ensure uniform allocation of resources among scientists within institute through e-governance system. 25 percent of teachers for higher education should be recruited through centralized system of recruitment even for state university/colleges.

1.First of all, all the schools and universities must be facilitated with well equipped labs in various categories(Ex: IT, Physics, Chemistry, Space). 2. Government should make an effort to make the Public Sector Organizations and Corporate world adopt schools and universities, so that students will be have a better understanding of whats going on with the latest technologies. 3. Prestigious organizations like ISRO, DRDO, other research organizations should put more effort to inspire students.
