MANGALURU: We don't need 10 PhDs, but need one that will contribute to the country in a big way. Importantly, all of those quality works should be relevant to our country, asserted Satyapal Singh, minister of state in ministry of Human Resource Development and ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation.
Satyapal was in National Institute of Technology- Karnataka, Surathkal to dedicate first of its kind eLibrary and other facilities, here on Saturday.
Stressing why MHRD has proposed 20 institutions including 10 private as 'Institution of Eminence' (IoE), said that it is because that no institution in country matches to international standards. "Through this IoE tag, we want to develop such institutions to meet those standards in coming years. Government will provide whatever it requires," he added.
Minister expressed that PhD in India only gives degrees nothing else. "What today we need is commitment, innovation, research, truthfulness. In total, one must have dedication that his/her PhD shouldn't get just a degree but major breakthrough and knowledge," stressed Satyapal. He also gave call to 'original innovation'.
Earlier, some of the countries were leading in science and technology, however, minister feels that there is no monopoly anymore. "To have an upper hand we need innovative ideas. Meanwhile, there is a need all multi-discipline studies and interdisciplinary learning. It is because in coming days all the technologies are going to merge," he added.
During an interaction with budding engineers, to question what government is doing to stop students abroad for higher studies, minister said that to stop brain-drain Prime Ministers Research Fellowship is introduced. The enrolled student will get monthly remuneration of Rs 70,000 to 80,000 and also seed money of Rs 2 lakh. "Apart from it, we are also tracking all 3rd M.Tech student so that don't fly outside India for work or further studies."
