India weak at technical research and education
Technical research and education in India is poor, and medical research does not match the countrys needs, say experts.
Engineering colleges have a severe shortage of faculty staff, doctorates and post-graduates, said Palle Rama Rao, former secretary to Indias Department of Science and Technology, speaking at the Indian Academy of Sciences annual meeting in Indore, Madhya Pradesh this week (10-12 November).
Despite a five-fold increase in the number of engineering colleges in the past six years, high-quality colleges account for less than one per cent of them, said Rao.
