Tamil Nadu has produced extraordinary scientific talent.

Sir C.V. Raman.
S. Chandrasekhar.
V. Ramakrishnan.
Srinivasa Ramanujan.

The first three are Nobel laureates with deep connections to Tamil Nadu, while Ramanujan remains one of the greatest mathematical geniuses the world has seen.

Yet, remarkably, there is no Tamil Nadu State University named after any of these four legends.

We have had six decades of governments and countless opportunities to create institutions of global scientific excellence in their names but the govt was too parochial to do the honors.

This is where genuine corporate philanthropy and CSR can make a historic difference.

Why not establish four world-class research institutions in Tamil Nadu:

C.V. Raman Institute of Advanced Physics
S. Chandrasekhar Institute of Astrophysics & Space Sciences
V. Ramakrishnan Institute of Molecular & Life Sciences
Srinivasa Ramanujan Institute of Mathematical Sciences

Not merely buildings carrying their names, but institutions with serious endowments, global faculty, doctoral programmes, visiting scientists and a mandate to pursue frontier research.

Tamil Nadu should not merely celebrate its scientific legends.

It should build institutions worthy of their names.

Let our corporate houses take the lead. Governments can facilitate if it is broad-minded. Philanthropy can fund. Scientists can build.

And future generations can inherit something far more valuable than statues and memorials—a world-class research ecosystem inspired by four extraordinary Indians.

That would be a legacy worth creating.

Note: Madras Institute of Technology was founded by one entrepreneur Mr C Rajam and and not to forget, Madras School of Economics and Chennai Mathematical Institutes too were set up with corporate chipping in as donors and patrons.

@IndianTechGuide It’s not the potholes themselves, but the poor drainage that leads to water stagnation — which eventually causes the potholes. Fix the drainage!!

Here it is - midway through the rally, one of the white-shirted Indonesians gets a broken string and rushes off to change her racket while her partner holds the fort.

They win the rally, win the point, and minutes later the unseeded Indonesians won the gold medal match

What most people don't understand is that passion is the result of action, not the cause of it. You want to find your passion in life? Work for it.
