We are trying something meaningful for the younger generation to motivate them and to spark genuine interest and curiosity in the basic sciences. Over the past few years, a clear trend has emerged: a large number of students are striving to secure positions in the private sector. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of them succeed in fulfilling these dreams.
Most students choose courses like B.Tech and similar professional programs for higher studies. They invest enormous amounts of money, time, and effort, hoping to secure private-sector jobs. However, many end up in positions that offer modest salaries, often barely enough to sustain a decent quality of life.
At the same time, there is a serious shortage of students with the aptitude and passion to pursue basic sciences as a full-time career. This is unfortunate, because careers in basic sciences can offer respectable jobs, competitive salaries, intellectual fulfillment, and a stable lifestyle, benefits that contribute not only to individual growth but also to the long-term development of our country.
We all desire good teachers, strong academic environments, and schools that can help India build its own foundation in science and technology. But this vision cannot be achieved unless we educate and encourage people in the basic sciences. Today, there is a significant shortage of capable and motivated teachers, while many young people struggle simply to find employment to survive.
The message is clear: it is time to return to the fundamentals. It is time to move toward basic sciences, the core fields of knowledge where individuals can grow intellectually, contribute meaningfully to society, and actively participate in the development of India.
By strengthening our commitment to basic sciences, we invest not only in careers but in the future of our nation.
