The Vice-President, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar today said that contributions to R&D must be\u00a0“substantial, the result has to be substantial, not cosmetic or superficial\u201d, he stressed. He said that mere commitment of fiscal resources is not enough and significance of any research should be measured in terms of tangible outcomes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We will have to be on guard that merely because fiscal resources are committed, we cannot take pride, oh, I have spent so much for research and development. Investment in research and development has to be correlated to tangible outcomes,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering at the at the 83rd CSIR Foundation Day Celebrations, Pusa Road, New Delhi today,\u00a0the Vice-President invited attention to the significance of research and development in the contemporary scenario, Shri Dhankhar emphasised that research and development is integral to soft diplomacy and national security.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe investment in research and development is lasting…..Research and development is so integrated to security these days. And therefore investment is for the nation. Investment is for growth. Investment is for sustainability\u201d, he asserted.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the current environment, Shri Dhankhar expressed satisfaction that recognition for the scientific community has significantly increased. \u201cSoothing to note that in last few years recognition for the scientific community has gone up. It has gone up in several ways including government being very serious about it, and Prime Minister’s heart and soul is deeply in scientific community\u201d.<\/p>\n

Shri Dhankhar further lauded\u00a0Prime Minister’s deep respect for and belief in the potential of India’s scientists.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the past where the contributions of scientists were not always appropriately recognized, Shri Dhankhar remarked \u201cI am fully alive of the headwinds you face, air pockets you suffer, difficult terrain you negotiate and on occasions there is no due recognition. Therefore, an ecosystem that existed earlier where you were contributing and recognition was not coming in the right form\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

Recognising the current change in ecosystem, Shri Dhankhar underlined, \u201cNow there is an ecosystem in place where our scientists can fully exploit and expand their energy exploit their talent and contribute for the nation by unleashing their innovative skills\u201d.<\/p>\n

Calling upon corporate to invest more in research and development, he said \u201csignificant contributions being made by Indian companies in sectors like\u00a0automobile<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0information technology<\/strong>.\u00a0Looking to our nation’s size, its potential, its position, and the growth trajectory on which it is there, our corporates need to come forward to engage in research and development\u201d.<\/p>\n

Terming CSIR as\u00a0Catalyst<\/strong>\u00a0for Scientifically Imaginative Rashtra,\u00a0<\/strong>Shri Dhankhar highlighted, \u201cIt is your Foundation Day, but it is integrally connected with the firm foundations of Bharat. You are firming up those foundations of the most vibrant, functional democracy on the planet. You are firming up the foundations of a nation that is on the rise as never before, and the rise is unstoppable\u201d<\/p>\n

He further emphasized the crucial role of\u00a0science and technology<\/strong>\u00a0as the growth engine for any nation, underscoring that this engine is primarily driven by\u00a0research and development (R&D).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expressing his deep concern about the current approach to\u00a0research and development (R&D)<\/strong>\u00a0in India\u2019s institutions, Shri Dhankhar highlighted the need for substantial contributions rather than mere lip service.\u00a0“I am concerned about one aspect in particular, and that aspect, fortunately for me, was voiced in a survey by CSIR,”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>he stated.<\/p>\n

He further stressed that those engaged in research within academic institutions should not be motivated solely by\u00a0academic gains<\/strong>, asserting,\u00a0“Research is not a simulation. Research is research.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0He appealed for the establishment of\u00a0Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)<\/strong>\u00a0to ensure that investments in human resources and institutions are directed towards authentic and impactful research.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the critical role played by CSIR in shaping modern India\u2019s scientific and technological landscape, Shri Dhankhar emphasized the historical legacy of India\u2019s scientific stating \u201cif we go into our historical perspective we will find ages ago our Bharat had scientific prowess. We were global leaders; we were centre of the globe when it came to scientific knowledge\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also noted that while the country lost its way for a period, it is now on the path to\u00a0regaining our past pristine glory in the world of science. \u201cThe kind of discoveries and inventions that were made, we made the world proud, we lost way somewhere, we are beginning that way\u201d, he remarked.<\/p>\n
