Box-cut clarity, mathematicians and Make-in India

Abstract

The Guest Editorial on the 'Make in India' initiative in Current Science is perfectly timed and interesting. The authors' ideas can be well understood by any serious researchers. In addition to academic debates, clear steps implemented by the Government for this initiative also need to reach the scientific community, possibly through this journal as well. Being an active promoter of this initiative in India (through my friends in the engineering and applied maths community), I have been, in the recent past, motivating a few of my colleagues in India to set-up the industrial maths wings within IITs/universities.
