Mukherjee asks corporate sector to invest more on research
The corporate sector should take up the responsibility of nurturing creative and innovative minds by investing in research, former president Pranab Mukherjee has said.
New Delhi: The corporate sector should take up the responsibility of nurturing creative and innovative minds by investing in research, former president Pranab Mukherjee has said.
Launching the Indian chapter of the UK-based nation-wide higher education rating system -- QS I-GAUGE -- here yesterday, he said for training and educating the youth in the country, the university administrators should keep in mind that quality is of primary importance. "Our corporate sector, in particular, must emphasise on research and spending on research.
Compared to any other industrialised country, investment from the corporate sector in India for research work is much less. "We cannot be great until people have innovative and creative mind. It does not come automatically. It needs to be nurtured, and that responsibility lies with the society itself," Mukherjee said at the event.
