GURUDEVA SMRITI GRANTHA
Strong postgraduate schools are our most unrgent requirement, and to orga. nise these effectively all available resources of the universities, natio.al laboratories and other agencies would need to be pooled together
(1) In the universities, good work, good teaching and good research should be energet-cally and generously supported at all levels In science the output in terms of achievement is directly proportional to the input in terms of hard and honest work
(111) Contacts (including movements and exchange of scientific staff) between the universities and national laboratories, scientific government (1960) departments, and industry should be vigorously promoted and stiengthened. Any one who has a real competency and willingness to participate in university work should be encouraged to do so-so great and urgent is our need that all resources need to be fully explosied.
(iv) “Right Climate', leadership and dedication are important factors in promoting team work and in generating scientific work of high quality Able and gifted men should be given every opportunity for concentrated and sustained work free from petty worries and distractions in scientific establishments the administrative load and routines' should be cut down to a minimum.
(u) Our resources are limited, so one has to spend more thought to get more out of our resources-spending thought 18 more difficult than spending money
The US President's Science Advisory Committee in its recent Report on Scientific Progress, the Universities and the Federal Government' (1960) (prepared under the chairmanship of Professor GT Seaborg, now Chairman of the Atomil Energy Commission) states “Both basic research and graduate education must be supported in terms of the welfare of society as a whole It is in this large sense that the role of the Federal Government is inevitably central The truth is as simple as it is important whether the quantity and quality of basic research and graduate education in the United States will be adequate or inadequate depends primarily upon the government of the United States. From this responsibility the Federal Government has no escape Either it will find the policies and the resoureswhich permit our universities to flourish and their duties to be adequately discharged or no one will "
These are wise and powerful words, and they apply to us no less And, there is perhaps no finer vision of a university placed before us than what Shri Nehru said at a University Convocation some years ago "A university stands for humanism, for tolerance, for reason, for the adventure of ideas and for the search for truth. It stands for the opward march of the human race towards even higher objectives If the universities discharge their duties adequately, then it is well with the nation and the people."
