In India atleast in my opinion, the supervisors dont have any research ethics. I am not mentioning everyone, but iam sure atleast 80% of professors in the Universities other than iits and iisc are greedy for publication, they steal the first author and fighting for communicating authorship without any research ethic, now i am in Europe and submitted my second PhD here in one of the leading universities in Europe. I dont know about IITs and IISc but i am 100% confident the professors dont even know there is term so called 'research ethics'. There is nothing surprise Indians are getting more PhD awards from foriegn universities. I dont know is there any organization in India to save students who are getting suffered by unethical research activities of PhD supervisors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-87096087793492414972010-03-20T16:08:03.640+05:302010-03-20T16:08:03.640+05:30@sm : I do not agree with your argument. There mig...@sm : I do not agree with your argument. There might be some researchers who are in research for equally demeaning perks like fame or social status. But money is definitely not one of them. Obviously an average standard of living is expected but that doesnt make pure research to be just a "means to an end". <br /><br />I think anyone who is passionate about their work shouldnt mind a little less salary or comfort because satisfaction is much more rarer than money.Anupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-15504901634620644172010-03-19T13:31:09.789+05:302010-03-19T13:31:09.789+05:30Research is a profession.

Researchers, like any other guys, work to earn money and lead a good social life. It maybe that they keep their work both at their heart and brain. That is different. But research has to be a profession.<br /><br />Same goes for politics. We call politics not a profession, its a passion. And it makes one so passionate that he forgets to retire until 90 and makes sure that his passion goes down in his family to his son/daughter/grandson...Then we see all sorts of problems.smnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-38979901667328655652010-03-18T20:10:29.708+05:302010-03-18T20:10:29.708+05:30Too less PhD's from Indian Institutions (IIX) ...Too less PhD's from Indian Institutions (IIX) every year is because of the higher education structure in India. Every Ph.D student has to go through extreme hardships, most of the cases, before earning the degree. Lack of proper infrastructure, qualified co-workers or laboratory staff are responsible for it. Establishmnet of new institutions (IITs, IISERs) may partially solve the problem but not fully. Anyhow, research is not profession, it is passion. Igniting young brains and harvesting passion for research in these may work most of the times. Indian elite academia must take responsibility to visit schools and encouraging students in this direction. If then so, after 20 years from now, R&D laboratories & higher education institutions in India will be full of qualified, passionate and committed scientists and engineers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-42953301175206735502010-03-05T17:30:33.953+05:302010-03-05T17:30:33.953+05:30Council meetings are *normally* held in late march...Council meetings are *normally* held in late march, june, sep and dec.Giri@iischttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819278945207995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-76536721547030418182010-03-05T09:11:37.390+05:302010-03-05T09:11:37.390+05:30Please post the dates of all council meetings for ...Please post the dates of all council meetings for 2010 and 2011.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6061089355607754501.post-40310859845793849102010-03-04T20:57:28.381+05:302010-03-04T20:57:28.381+05:30Prof. giri,
