We talk of 9% growth, and our Universities churn Graduates/ M.Techs/ Phd's to work for so-called multi-national IT companies etc. But alas! Neither do we have any REAL SCIENTISTS who have significantly contributed to the scientific community nor do we have any REAL ENGINEERS / TECHNOLOGISTS, who could answer our problems. We have very poor infrastructure; our villagers do not have potable drinking water; our health index is even below that of Bangladesh... All these are indicators that our development in Science, Technology and Engineering are very low - if not NIL. What are the REAL REASONS? Any body..? Instead we seem to be "ALSO RANS" mimicking the Western Economic Model. Our so-called Scientists are mere Government Employees, constrained to work in an environment alien to the development of Science. But, it is strange that we have over 500 special Science/ technology/ University/ Industrial Research & Development centers - most of which do not have anything to offer to the World
