After the late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, we have another visionary in the high office. Nehruji started National Scientific Laborataries which laid a solid foundation of moder India. President Kalam is a visionary par excellence. We already know his immense contribution as a scientist. I now see him as a saint scinetist President. Let us paid heed to his call for creation of science cadre. With ndia dominating IT field and her emergence as a substantial economic power, with no less international political clout, this valuable innovation can only benefit India, and in directly the world. Undoubtedly, this will propel Inida and Indian people into 21st century in the real sense of the world. India's teeming millions can only benefit and get out of abject poverty. Well said, Rashtrapati Kalam ! We are proud of you. India is lucky to have you in the Right Place at the Right Time ! God seems still be on side of India !
You are right. I can't agree with you more on this. This will definitely encourage the youth to take up Research related activites to propel India to the next generation. Present Youth when they take up science as their career has only one thing in mind.....reach foreign countires who encourage them & contribute to the research activities there. Recognition of talent & nurturing it is one thing that seems to be misisng in the present syatem. Like the IAS/IPS cardres if there is a science cadre with the structured growth & fame associated......no longer India needs to fear brain drain. Reverse brain drain will definitely be seen in no time.
Yes Mr president

Yes Mr president you are right. I will go with you in this regards.Definitely this will encourage the youth to take up Research related activites. But govt should also encourage all the universities both private and govt by giving some funds for fundamental research.At present india is lagging behind in Nanotechnology research,when compared to other countries.Even in India few universities has taken initiatives but they are not getting any kind of support from the govt.Even students who has taken this course has no opportunities in india,i know this very well because i am the student doing post graduation (M.Tech)in Nanotechnology,we are not getting any kind of support from the govt,so hope by this cadet we will get some solution.
