What are the steps required to boost R & D in India

Yes, I also support the view of Mr. Durga rao. Researchers normally opt for other countries because they don't get so much scope, facilities, recognition,support and respect from Indian side which they get in other countries. Once they get that, they won't leave India and do their R&D here only, which will help R & D sector in India boom...

I support this idea. The qualified people should be given the proper recognition and respect. Then only they will come with good ideas and schemes in the R & D departments.

Well Said Mr. Durga ,

I should apologize in this case , your statements in a way and in terms of support are really making sense. I dont just say this .. these are statements after saying what i had to say and thought about and made this statements. For me it make a lot of sense in the following thought line.

a research is any work done for good nad betterment of Humankind , well we do have governments to administer the same ..so the definite link however invisible at the moment will definitely have to manifest into more higher standards in future if govt needs to maintain more than 1.61% deflation rates as of today. Well , yada raja thada praja! ...

So in your case , i support this idea..well said ..and applause to you ( sorry toostep doesnot have a applause symbol!)

I undersatnd your predicament and wish you Godspeed in answering of your prayer ...

(I am also going through samilar situation for a long time now !)

I have conveyed a lot in my earlier response.  Only a little about Newton, Einstein and Ramanujam that I would like to touch upon.

I am not comparing myself to be like them....They are great scientists and the entire world has acknowledged.

Look at how I feel...  The life span expectation in India is a little less than 70 years.  It is more in most of the other places. 

Beyond 35, many persons can not sit/squat on the ground or walk comfortably.  Their vision comes down and they start wearing a glass. They may get bouts of migraine.  Their sex drive may come down.  They are not comfortable with certain foods, which may upset their digestion pattern.  They may gradually become obese.

On the serious side, their blood pressure may be high/low.  Their liver, heart, kidney functions may not be up to the mark.  They may not be comfortable at the joints.  They may injure themselves and may get to be treated.

My research can influence all the above.  It may be audacious but I can make life of every human being more tolerable for almost 50% of his life span.  I am not advocating any spiritual power that I have, nor any prayer or devotion nor am I telling them that they should take some medicines etc.

Any responsible policy maker has to sit straight and ponder whether he has considered his position in government/academia seriously enough, when such a claim is unanswered for almost three years.

I already have my results.  Why I am asking for recognition of my project as a regular research project is only to validate my results.  IP protection is also a factor.      I am willing to go through the grind of a 3-5 year research.

What has government/academia got to lose, if they say that my research project is part of the regular stream and that I should submit my thesis which will be evaluated as per standard procedure?  They may need to allot to me a research guide and allow me to utilize equipments available in a research institution.  Is this so big a burden on the government/academia when I have dedicated my life to make life of millions better?

I do not consider myself no less a scientist of the highest calibre.  Till I get the recognition I deserve, I would silently continue what I have been doing.  My first effort to approach government/academia was almost three years before.  What I have announced in my representation on that day has been reformed and broght to a better shape as on today.  I have added more value and am more confident today. 

But it is the society which is at loss.  It is for the society to take notice and help themselves!!

I know my delivery model can work.  I have got results and can reproduce them.  However, my treatment is non invasive and involves no drug use.  We need special type of equipment to record changes in the body which I can explain before a panel of experts.  The recording through equipments is proof.  The concept is original and extends to many branches of medicare.

There have to be around 200 patents to be filed.  It becomes a big game.  I have to enlist a government organisation to participate, which will make things easy.  I am not looking for sponsorship.  My research I can conduct without sponsorship.  I just need to make use of equipments available in a place like Hosmat, Sports Authority of India, Manipal Hospital, Wockheardt etc. (Pardon me if I am using names of Bangalore based hospital).

Another crucial factor is that I need patients to come to me.  Unless I am accepted in a place where patients are available, it becomes difficult.

I will not give up.  No way.  However, what you have cautioned me with is a real danger.  Others may catch up. 

I am a project finance consultant myself.  I have dealt with VCs for other clients.  I am yet to reach a VC who may be suitable and interested in this area of research.  My entire implementation roadmap is defined.  We need to take the first step keeping an eye on ip rights.  This is what I am waiting for.

Thanks for the suggestion and good wishes

There is a lot that can be said about r & d. But through strategic planning, innovation, qualitative methods/ research & implementation. Qualitative methods are used to provide a base for quantitative research and help in quantitative research design development.  A certain level of innovation/ free thought is a key component in the strategy for improving r & d productivity and competitiveness. 

R&D faces unique challenges and opportunities. In a fast-changing environment having open innovation & freedom of thought, sharing & cohesive collaboration can be beneficial in r & d which helps in creating a new way of bringing good ideas to market. Companies must now learn to embrace the breadth of knowledge that is available from various pools of knowledge that are throughout the organization & outside. With open innovation/ freedom of thought, valuable ideas can come from inside or outside the company and can go to market from inside or outside the company as well.

This approach places external ideas and external paths to market on the same level of importance as that reserved for internal ideas and paths to market .

i agree with the views of Mr Makarand.Researches should be highlighted as applivation.
