The State Of Physics

Published By: Seminar | Published Date: April, 16 , 2007

Where do we stand physics research vis a vis interanational developments? As mentioned above, our input in terms of funding of physics research continues to be subcritical. Thus, while we have been able to make a mark and create a few leaders in string theory, the theory of statistical physics or in select theoretical topics of nonlinear phenomena and optics, our contribution to cutting-edge physics research continues to remain below global standards. What is also alarming is the recent decline in physics publications in the so-called impact-factor journals from India, in comparison to say China and Korea. What are the reasons for this perceived decline?

Many other reputed NGOs across the country had to face FCRA cancellation, Institute of Public Health (IPH), Bangalore is one among them. IPH used to work very closely with GoK on many public health issues. It is a pity that despite a very good track record, their FCRA was cancelled. While I appreciate MFC for their take on this issue, we should also support the smaller organisations who did good work.I hope the investigations be objective, and all good NGOs come clean!
