Thanks for reminding about participating inputs a responsible citizen should forward to strengthen Sri modijee's efforts for course correction to change destiny of this mercilessly exploited nation. I was out of country and could not immediately respond when your circular was despatched in august. * the five well identified basic issues! agreeably should have highest priority! except! I feel the voters reluctance to trust the political system by giving adequate strength to the leader to change the ill conceived! disfigured constitution! to effect necessary time responsive flexibility to change the system! Please note of the six major issues, at least three are effectively state subjects. The most enterprising national leader cannot implement without a state leader willing to follow suit. Education , to me is an area that can transform our nation, and without that we will remain a third rate country, even if others say a lot good about our GDP growth etc, which are intended to ensure we donot worry about education and intellectual development, that may help generate immense national wealth, and not by mortgaging our natural resources for others and manmohan type priorities by turning the country into a junk market in the name of market economy! India will be a pauper if these kind of policies are not shelved outright. Particularly important is to change common perception that smoke belching towers, and swank cars plying the street are signs of development. India cannot commence its development strategy without first carrying out deep changes in education policies that will lead to intellectual property creation , in turn generating wealth. No way we can skip this route. One should not be surprised if I say, our CSIR laboratories, at least most of them have not even identified their role of carrying out R&D areas in the last three plus decades since emergency when the system was deliberately down graded. One should wonder why Indian scientists are able to break new grounds in space research, and satellite / rocket technology, failing miserably in any other field during the period since early seventies? Being a research scientist, I am fully aware of the comments I am making. Inspite of being able to corner a sizable global market share by infosys ,Tatas or wipro etc, in software etc, use of information technology sharing and absorption in academic / research circle is miserable. Also interesting is our poor contribution in ares of hardware development !The whole academic environment in India is rotten and obsolete. Indians are best at supporting or following peers, not lead from front. Until we have introduced a totally different approach to our education system, research, translating and packaging into technology or products, completely ined generous, we cannot be a nation of any relevance. Education system and it's inclusive application, with emphasis on quality and excellence, should change the health sector, social awareness, a nationalist pride, generate wealth, remove divisive politics, stop turning beggars,(Bpl, etc), surviving on subsidy , and perpetuating poverty, ignorance, illiteracy, prejudices, hopelessness and all ills that drag our progression ahead. I urge Sri Mody bhai, to please assign highest priority to education sector and totally revamp the R&D system, excluding space research. It is intellectual property that will show us way to prosperity, not transplanting polluting industries to India, which have only a few years of shelf life. I could have written more but would suffice to say, education is the key to changing the nation to a path of progress. However, this sector has been highly politicized by mean politicians playing vote bank by reservation, completely ruining quality bartered for mediocrity and worst. We should have centers of excellence which would not compromise on intakes quality. Our education planners are not above mediocrity too, as we see there are dozens of IIT s and IIMs set up as proud achievement of a very stupid regime. We donot have more than one MIT, or Cambridge, or Oxford, Stanford, or imperial college. A center of excellence depends on able faculty members besides education hardware and brilliant students. India does not need dozens but a few centers of excellence, if it hopes to find names of institutions among the top ones globally. I will send a mail on real estate, housing next , as I donot have expertise in all areas you want us to deliberate. Sorry if it is a bit long. Are we expected to be frank? I donot indulge in any active politics please. Thanks.
