Hyderabad: Prof Rama Rao, the Chairman of the Governing Council of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, addressing the faculty and students at SRM University on ‘Research Day’ stressed the significance and value of scientific research at its campus in Tamil Nadu.
He argued that the Manhattan Project launched by the United States was perhaps the quintessential example of grand synthesis of knowledge, investment manpower under a magnificent leader. “This is what defines a project,” Prof Rao told faculty, researchers and students on the occasion of SRM University’s Research Day.
“None of the cutting edge scientific ideas involved big capital but it involved by brilliant minds,” the leading scientist of India maintained. “America excels in individual freedom and pursuit of happiness as a key to their achievement and if we were to ask the question as to why we are not achieving like that of the United States and my answer would be that the United States created the world’s greatest universities”, he shared.
Speaking at the event, Professor Biswanath Mukherjee, Professor of Computer Science from the University of California at Davis, USA, said “The pre-requisite to extra-ordinary achievement is extra-ordinary effort. Not everybody is a super star. Achieve to your potential and beyond”.
“We are celebrating a number of events at this University that are quite common. But Research day is special. We stand apart from others” said the Founder Chancellor of SRM University, T R Paarivendhar. “These events are celebrated to motivate and encourage you. Research must develop so that we can attain higher levels of glory” he added.
