Dr. Supratic Gupta has highlighted the importance of research in Indian scenario encompassing both academic and social research. Research culture should be promoted more and it should be made more accountable towards the needs & aspirations of public. Currently, most of the research are conducted in university to fulfill the academic goals of researchers and are mostly funded by the government. More relevant & public-oriented research will help the country much.
The research papers published in International Journals are not attuned to the public awareness and benefit. National Conferences should also be organized to boost research and more incentives is needed to be paid to faculties and researchers. Dr. Gupta also advocated the need of allowing the academicians and faculties to participate in the national politics. It will lead to provide more effective leadership to the nation, like Germany.
