Make Indian Universities as Centres of Research and Innovation

Abstract

A university is much more than an institution that grants degrees and diplomas. It is a part of the society where creation of knowledge, incubation of new ideas, innovations and critical thinking are to be nurtured. High quality universities provide right environment where transformation of students to great scientists, engineers, social thinkers and administrators take place. Innovations that result in new processes and products are often made in laboratories of universities in most of the developed countries, thus helping industries to gain an edge over their competition. In a nutshell, progress of a society can be gauged from the robustness of universities which transform the youth into future leaders, researchers and teachers.
