President of India Droupadi Murmu on the eve of 77th Independence Day has said that National Research Foundation will seed, grow and promote research and development in our colleges, universities.
Droupadi Murmu said that for their work in space and also on earth, our scientists and technologists are bringing laurels to the country. Talking about Anusandhan National Research Foundation she said that to foster the spirit of research, innovation and entrepreneurship, the Government is setting up the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, with an amount of Rs. 50,000 crore for next five years.
“The foundation will seed, grow and promote research and development in our colleges, universities and research institutions,” she added. President Murmu expressing her happiness said that along with economic growth, human-development-concerns have also been accorded high priority.
She said: “Having been a teacher also, I have realised that education is the greatest tool of social empowerment. The National Education Policy of 2020 has started making a difference. From my interactions with students as well as educationists at various levels, I gather that the learning process has become more flexible.”
The President said that the visionary policy, which aims to merge ancient values with modern skills, will bring in unprecedented changes in the education sector over the years, leading to a great transformation of the nation. India’s economic progress is powered by the dreams of its people, particularly the young generation for whom limitless opportunities have opened up. From start-ups to sports, our youth have explored new horizons of excellence.
Talking about Chandrayaan-3 project she said that the aspirations of the new India have infinite dimensions. The Indian Space Research Organisation keeps scaling new heights and setting higher benchmarks of excellence.
“This year, ISRO launched Chandrayaan-3, and its lander named ‘Vikram’ and its rover named ‘Pragyan’ are slated to land on the moon in the next few days. It will be a proud moment for all of us and I look forward to it. But the mission to the moon is only a stepping stone for our future space programmes. We have to go far ahead,” President added.
For us, science or knowledge are not ends-in-themselves but are a means for the betterment of all the people. One area that merits urgent attention of scientists and policymakers all over the world is climate change.
