Why India does not produce even One NOBEL LAUREATE in Science/ Economics at least every Ten years?

Question

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

Answer 1

i dont know very many indians in the academia other than one famous columbia eonomics proffesor, jagdish baghwati. and are academics who win the nobel... others are poets and pacifists of course. like u say, most capable indians seem to be flying to those multinational it firms to make good bucks. also, india does not have money to pour into research grants and all... which the us can afford for its academics. if i was indian id care more about the problems u list rather than the nobel. we have 2 nobels in chile and i just dont care --havent read any of their poems and wont cuz i just dont care. but ive been to many parts in india and it really needs some development to be done.

Answer 2

Because India is always working on a different political agenda.

Therefore many of the intellectual person leave India out of frustration.

You will notice that there are quite a few prominent Nobel Laurettes of Indian origin world-wide, many of them in USA. There are also many other prominent reaserch and development officers or scientists in nemerous fields across the world - who are also of Indian origin.

All the R&D centres in India are probably autonomous bodies, writing research paper, spending government money, authors publishing in foreign countries and collecting royalties or publication honours or prizes. Yet many of these research projects probably have little utililization wthin the country or a joint-venture with the industry or public sector.

We are caught up in trying to produce the cheapest and sometime have not even tried to produce the best - there are many fields and products that we are good at. If we try, we can provide the best and capture a better market share.

There are many products that did not originate in Japan, yet they are making the best ones, why? Because over the years they have become quality conscious, and they have realized that quality sells, and even at a better market price.

It does take time and effort to create a trade mark.

Sony, Toyota, BMW, Mercedez Benz, Phillips, Glaxo, Bayer, CIBA, Honda, Westinghouse, GE, Goodyear, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Rools Royce, Boeing, BOAC, Tata, HMT, BHEL, Rourkela, etc.

Answer 5

First of all, no one wants to nominate for Indians.Because Indian economists are very brilliants rather than Nobel Laureate..Do u think economic solutions are only to empower the country?
India has own problem of. politicians.Because of their vote banking, they are utilising village people for time being manifesto.The villages need power, water and free from poverty.,basic needs are there..who takes care? Everything with Indian hands only..they are wrongly choosing their region representatives(MLA/MP)...
People also should realise ..need of power, Infrastructure facility and Water.,instead of useless free issues....
Pray to GOD ...for shining India.
