The National knowledge Commission has remedies.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003ePure science forms the bedrock of all applied science. Advancement in Science is a necessary condition for future technological revolutions. But students across India are shunning Pure Sciences.\u003cbr /\u003eMany reserved faculty posts remain vacant in the absence of innovative or flexible appointment moderns to all these strain and teaching load on the existing teachers. In addition, this has contributed to the gradual decay and death of many departments of pure sciences in colleges and universities around the country, which were once famous for their science teaching.\u003cbr /\u003eThe reasons are not too far to seek. It’s not paying to be a scientist. Period. And to arrest this disturbing trend, be National Knowledge Commission (NKC), appointed by the prime Minister has come out with various incentives to lure students. All you\u003cbr /\u003eStudents who shunned experiments and laboratories, read this:\u003cbr /\u003eThe strategy for the promotion of science education in the Eleventh plan aims at expanding and strengthening the Science and technology base in our universities and promoting excellence through competitively secured funding art centers for advanced research.\u003cbr /\u003e“Since developing competence in the basic sciences has a long incubation time, it s important that this problem be addressed with alacrity.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e“Science and Mathematics are living subjects which grow rapidy and give rise to new areas which build on other existing areas. Therefore, there must be a constant input of fresh and young talent. It is worthwhile to note that developing countries like china and South Korea have investedmassivelu in science education in the past few decades and are reaping enormous benefits today in terms of economic development and global standing in science,” the Commission has said.\u003cbr /\u003e• Invest in upgrading and expanding the existing infrastructure and promote sharing of available resources. There is a need to expand seats at entry level in Science disciplines to create a critical mass of scientists in each stream.Sunstantial expansion of capacity of bachelor’s programme in all good institutes is required.\u003cbr /\u003e• The starting of IISERs is a step in the right direction and it is crucial that they succeed in setting an example. A continuum of institutes in quality is needed. While there are IISERs on. One end and government science colleges on the other end, there is a need to start undergraduate courses at universities and other places which currently offer only post graduate education in sciences to complete the continuum of institutes for students with varying abilities.\u003cbr /\u003e• Select universities can offer Bachelor’s honors (four year course-with an option to directly move to ph. D.programme after successful completion of honours.\u003cbr /\u003e• Attracting students to Maths and Science: They choose their place of study. Colleges which do not have adequate infrastructure should form clusters with nearby colleges and institutes to share laboratory resources, especially expensive equipment.\u003cbr /\u003e• Sharing resources: Many valuable facilities are not optimally shared among research institutes, laboratories and universities. The funding agencies should promote the formation of centres for shared instrumentation, by facilitating a consortium approach.\u003cbr /\u003e• Full-fledged laboratories within the campuses o f our universities and other educational institutions can be ser up. Greater collaboration should be promoted between research institutes and universities through appropriate incentives.\u003cbr /\u003e• Scholarships: The number of direct scholarships to meritorious students like meritorious students like KVPY (Kishore Vigyanik Protsahan Yojana) should be increased to cover a larger student population. To enlarge the pool of scientific manpower and foster research in the sciences, the Government of India has announced a programme entitled “Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research” (INSPIRE).That should be launched soon.\u003cbr /\u003e• To facilitate teaching in universities by research scientists, supporting infrastructure should be created in universities for visiting professors.\u003cbr /\u003eFurther, University and research institute faculty members should be given the flexibility of taking sabbaticals for teaching in colleges, doing work in educational field and for popularizing science among children, teachers and communities in rural and urban areas.\u003cbr /\u003e• There are lots of grant disbursing government departments and organizations. Researchers seeking funds for their projects have to manoeuvre across all these administrative hassles to get funds. A web portal, which brings all relevant funding information together, should be launched. Administrative problems and delays created by funding agencies should be done away with. Competitive process for grants should be established.\u003cbr /\u003e• School teachers should be provided with avenues to discuss new pedagogical developments, For instance, they should be encouraged to do projects in laboratories in colleges during vacation time. Colleges can be given separate funds to run such programmes.School teachers should be sufficiently encouraged to develop new experiments and activities to be used at school level. \u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003cimg width\u003d'1' height\u003d'1' src\u003d'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1996107817349288586-2398016676823197643?l\u003dkalvimalar.blogspot.com' alt\u003d'' /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://kalvimalar.blogspot.com/feeds/2398016676823197643/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID\u003d1996107817349288586\u0026postID\u003d2398016676823197643","title":"1 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1996107817349288586/posts/default/2398016676823197643"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1996107817349288586/posts/default/2398016676823197643"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://kalvimalar.blogspot.com/2008/11/affirmative-campaign-to-rescue-science.html","title":"AFFIRMATIVE CAMPAIGN TO RESCUE SCIENCE"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Part Time Jobs Online"},"uri":{"$t":"http://www.blogger.com/profile/08889318233499537194"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$extendedProperty":{"xmlns$gd":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005","name":"OpenSocialUserId","value":"07060927608218398881"}}],"thr$total":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","$t":"1"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996107817349288586.post-7869028788367985171"},"published":{"$t":"2008-11-30T21:07:00.001-08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2008-11-30T21:07:57.248-08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Make your passion your Profession"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Make your passion your Profession"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cdiv align\u003d\"justify\"\u003eThe Masters course in wildlife Biology and Conservation, jointly offered by the National Centre for Biological Science (NCBS) and Centre for Wildlife Studies, is the best window that lets you into this field.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThis course is based at BCBS, a TIFR institution in Bengaluru (www.ncbs.res.in) and among the best research institutions in the world in field of biological sciences.NCBS offers teaching facilities as good as anywhere in world.

The limit was first calculated by Chandrasekhar while on a ship frion India to Cambridge, England. The Chandrasekhar limit led to the determination of how long a star like sun of particular mass will shine. In 1983,Chandrasekhar subramanyan got the Nobel price for this discovery. Two of chandrasekhar’s students in 1947 were the doctoral candidates Tsung-dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang in Particle Physics research. Even though Chandrasekhar Subramanyan maintained his office at the yerkes Observatory in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, he would regularly drive the one hundred miles to Chicago to guide and teach Lee and Yang and others many a times in difficult weather conditions.

But Whether the movie works ornot is a matter of least concern for the author who is sporting a wider grin as his book has yet again topped the best seller list after the release of the film.says Sharon Babu, store manager of Crossword book store in Chennai,”After the release of the movie Hello, the sales of the book bave increased by 75 percent.On a weekday we sell about 15 to 29 copies and on a weekends we sell about 30 copies of the book,”\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAround the time of the movie release, the publishers have given the book jacket a revampand as per expectations the sales shot up like never before.sakhi Gupta owner of an online bookstore says,”The book tops our bestseller list and is picked up the most by the youngsters who are keen on discussing the book with their friends.The price is a another factor which has boosted the sales of the book.”\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSo what is it that draws Gen Y towards reading the book? Answers sharamit kaur, a class 11 student,”I am not an avid reader. So when the book was launched three years ago, I was not very keen on reading it. But after watching the movie, it suddenly became the talk of the town and then I decided to get my copy.And now, I feel the book is far better than the time pass movie is! Chetan has done a lot of American bashing in the novel and it is the same in the novel and it is the same in the movie as well. I liked reading it because of the simple language and interesting plot.”\u003cbr /\u003eShubhangi Vasudev, a second year commerce students was quick to agree.”I haven’t read the book, not all of it anyway, but I was most curious about its cinematic adaptation.The movie is hilarious and is filled with a lot of drama. I loved Sharman Joshi and Sohail Khan ‘s performance in the film and I was keen to know how their characters have been sketched in the book. Also there were long discussion threads online as to how Gul Panag has successfully played Priyanka’s character.Ipurchased the book to know more about the film,.”Well, it is evident that both the ‘time pass ‘ flick and the book have managed to hit it off well with Gen Y.
