India is waging a war against its own researchers:

In Careers360’s Research Summit, Prof. Ram Gopal Rao, Vice Chancellor of BITS Pilani described India’s lack of investment in research beautifully. He said “India’s Higher Education is described as African Budgets, American ambitions, Russian methods, Chinese opacity and Indian Bureaucracy.
In the past decade, we have seen a slide in scientific temper and investments in research.
1. Non-NET fellowship are stuck at ₹8,000 a month since 2012, for 16,270 scholars in 45 central universities.
2. JRF stipend: In 2014, the JRF was Rs.25,000 per month. In 2019, it was revised to Rs.31m000. it is ₹37,000 PM. The hrowth hasn’t even kept pace with inflation and in real terms, it has FALLEN. IISc scholars even went on a hunger strike demanding an increase.
3. Maulana Azad fellowship: where more than 1,400 scholars have had stipends stalled since January 2025.
4. OBC fellowships: lists for three NET cycles in 2024-25 were held back, which the social justice ministry put down to insufficient funds.
5. INSPIRE: fellows have their stipends unpaid for 3 to 9 months. The schemes now under Vigyan Dhara fell 67.5% between 2016 and 2025.
6. KVPY: scrapped in 2022, after nearly two lakh students a year had taken its test.
7. JRF bottleneck: only 5,108 of 7,35,614 candidates (0.7%) got JRF in December 2025. Minister Sukanta Majumdar gave no year-wise data when asked.
8. The University of Hyderabad stopped Rohit Vemula’s ₹25,000 stipend in July 2015, and his last letter said he hadn’t been paid for seven months. He later committed suicide.
9. India’s R&D spending: fell from 0.82% of GDP in 2009-10 to 0.64% in 2020-21. PMRF spending was revised to ₹290 crore, less than half its ₹600 crore outlay.
10. SC fellowships: fell 61%, from 4,841 to 1,872, between 2020-21 and 2022-23.
If India indeed wants to be a Vishwa Guru, India should be investing in research, in creating quality Higher-Ed institutions. We cannot be cutting down on stipends, not paying our researchers, holding back payments, scrapping scholarships, not increasing fellowship amounts even to match inflation and still expect students to choose research.

@Neha_S_Patel If 40% money is collected as Donation for party and other funds - this is bound to happen ..

This country now runs of 40% official cut money syndicate

So here we are !

@AllaNiang7 After 50 years ! Even after 5 years of water is blocked first water should be huge muck, filth and muds - not fresh water like this

[Mrinal Chakraborty @mrinalch]

@SunilPtp U can see plain cloth security in front and back of them , yes carrying armed security guard is not possible in a safe country like in India ! Poor Amitabh Bachchan also get into a bullet proof guard or Khans even can’t come out freely !

[Mrinal Chakraborty @mrinalch]

@k_gauravs It’s technically not possible , as flight paths will be clear from while it approaches the landing space ..

[Mrinal Chakraborty @mrinalch]

@Gramergolpo Yes, we must - instead of chasing who eats what or who reads what or who wears what !

[Mrinal Chakraborty @mrinalch]

@Artofpuremind Just 11 of them , long way to cover them all

@Aagan86 We just now watched it again

Does anyone have a script on the sequence - what we see Sanyasi Revolt, British Raj, the then Bengali society and its Christening and decay at the end - 200 years of history he had put forward to next generation

Does anyone have more ?
