There should be only one funding agency for fellowship distribution and equal pay for Indian research scholars who are pursuing a PhD in India, whether it's @IndiaDST@ugc_india@CSIR_IND @ICMR @DBTIndia@iaripgssu2022.It is a disgraceful situation that all the funding agencies are neglecting to scholars while they should issue an office memorandum so far, including a 60% fellowship hike. @rajesh_gokhale@guptaakhilesh63
@physiomayuri03 Connecting religion with reason with nature at centre is fantastic and superb..our new generation should learn these all things so that customs, culture and traditions which has been imbibed from our ancestors can be validated..our new generation can follow it without hesitation
@ArindamPhysics Countries whose focus is on research activity cares its Scholar without caring investment issues because it's not present but it's future which depends on Research activity. If Govt. is reluctant in this regard then really shameful that govt vision is poor..
@sharmaG30 I am always worried about the pay, they would receive after PhD. Pvt institutes hiring PhDs on less than scholarship. 6 years and then if not lucky enough...doomed.
Although some increase is better than no increase, our Ph.D. students deserve better. I hope this so-called increased fellowship will start coming every month in their respective account, similar to salaried folks.
Please pay our Ph.D. students a RESPECTABLE amount TIMELY.

@AdhesionLab Sir nothing has changed in the last twenty years. Students suffered due to release of fellowship when I was doing my PhD. They continue to suffer even now. As a PI, I am suffering from delays/cuts in funding without any reason from DST/SERB. Not sure if things will change ever!!
Welcome move, though the percentage hikes could have been better. The concern for many students also seems to be "will the fellowship come on time". Can we also make sure that disbursement happens on time. This is really vital for any hike to be effective.
