Nagpur: Raising a question mark over the standard of Indian research former vice-chancellor of Karnataka University Prof SK Saidapur said that it lacked originality. It is mundane and repetitive. It has failed to advance knowledge.
He used to be handing over the inaugural deal with of a three-day convention on ‘Comparative endocrinology and body structure’ arranged collectively through the zoology division of Nagpur University and Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) Foundation of Germany.
Prof Saidapur said, “It is high time the medical neighborhood introspects at the topic and offers some direction to the younger technology. Merely publishing papers isn't research as it does now not make an individual an authority in that topic.”
“Even awards and rewards must now not be regarded as as a part of any good fortune. A doctoral degree is sort of a driving licence in the box of undertaking research,” he said, adding, “Research occurs when any individual tries to find a solution to an issue for which the consequences are unknown. If the consequences are identified it is not authentic research.”
A Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar awardee (easiest honour in country) Prof Saidapur went directly to admit that the fundamental areas of meetings and research have now not modified over many years, simplest the content material has modified. It is times to shift gears, he said.
Also, a AvH fellow, one of the vital revered fellowships in international, Saidapur said that India needed to learn from Germany the philosophy and fervour for research.
Saidapur said that from 1960s-80s there used to be some construction in research but thereafter in the technology of molecular research Indian researchers had been left behind barring for a couple of exceptions. Researchers in India simplest question the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of a reality but don’t search the ‘why’ aspect.
Earlier, Marja Einig, deputy consul general of Germany in India shared details about the AvH Foundation and its operating with more than a few countries internationally. She said that the researchers and research beneath the foundation’s duvet is an inspiration for any person. This research is the future of sustainable, leading edge and sensible answers for human problems. The basis has 29,000 alumni of which 55 are Nobel laureates.
Prof SP Kane, vice-chancellor of NU, in his presidential deal with stressed at the need for constructive, productive and sure research. The convention is being headed through the zoology division head Prof Arun Jadhao.
Prof Anand Khanna, AvH fellow, IIT Bombay, Prof MC Peter, secretary, International Association of Stress Physiologists, Prof Iqbal Parwez, vice-president of Indian Society for Comparative Endocrinology, Prof Madhav Rao, IISER, Pune, Prof PD Prasad Rao, AvH fellow and former head of zoology division, NU, also spoke at the instance.
Prof Roland Dosch, Georg-August University, Goettingen, Germany, gave key be aware talk.
