My suggestion is that if the conducting Institute consider the scholars of the same Institute as a priority then a lot of money can be saved.

concern on workshops conducted by UGC and other agencies: The main purpose of scholars to attend workshop is the value of certificate given by the conducting agency.Whenever there is any workshop, the coordinating institute call for desirous scholars to apply for workshop from all over India.But the Institute do not consider the scholars of the same institute for workshop. the thing is the govt.is spending lot of money for the accommodation of the scholars from other parts of country.

If AICTE type of inspection is carried out, the new IITs will fail that and even AICTE will not allow any private college to start with such infrastructure but here we are: once again new IITs will start taking students with almost zero infrastructure. I blame both MHRD and the old mentoring IITs for this state of affairs: MHRD for pushing this move and old IITs for accepting this diktat.

As per the JEE Brochure this year there will be admission of students in 20 IITs. Thus students will be taken for IIT Palghat, IIT Tirupati and IIT Raipur, Once again the same mistake is being committed as was committed in the UPA government's time. For these new IITs even the Directors have not been announced, there is no faculty and there is no campus. So once again we will have the same logistics problems which happened in 2008 and the mentoring IIT will have to bear all the load

US spend $3 b on human genome project, today it has accrued benefits of over $900 billion already. We spend only .8% of GDP on R&D, it's minuscule amount. Our best brains make innovations unfortunately abroad, as we do not have enough funding. Not one Indian university is in Top 200 in World today. IITs produce talent for consumption abroad, why can't they become part of nation building? Why is quality of PHDs poor? Why can't Adani or Ambani fund innovation instead of living in Antilla?

India really needs to spend big on research in pharma & defence sectors. Most of the defence equipment is imported which is not only a big drain on our forex reserves but also leaves us vulnerable to dependence on foreign supplies especially in times of war or conflict. Pharma sector research is necessary because several drugs or medical supplies for critical illnesses are either overpriced or in short supply.
