Homage to Prof Kaula
by shashi singh 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Dear Colleagues, I feel it is a most saddening loss of the year when we have lost one of the most legendry scholar and stalwart, a great deciple, follower and disseminator of Rangantan's ideas and philosophy. He was the first Reader in the Department and to my understanding the student of first batch of M Lib Sc also. I got a chance to hear him number of times, he was an unparallel orator. He has contributed immensly for the growth and development of the profession. He has carved a niche not only for himself but also for the profession both at national level and international level. With his sad demise, the profession has lost a great scholar of the century. Profession and generations of professionals shall always remain indebted to him. I pray to Almighty that his soul may rest in peace and God may give strength to his family to bear the loss. Prof.(Mrs.) Shashi P. Singh, Deptt. of Lib. & Info. Science, University of Delhi. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Just Published, NISTADS Report "India: Science and Technology 2008"
by Puna Das 03 Sep '09

Just Published, NISTADS Report "India: Science and Technology 2008" India: Science and Technology 2008. Publisher: National Institute of Science, Technology & Development Studies (NISTADS), New Delhi, 2009. The country is entering the age of knowledge when increasing returns would be ubiquitous. The democratic governance structures of this country have evolved, over the course of six decades, sets of complex institutions systems and practices that bind or otherwise relate S&T to the other spheres. With about four thousand research and development organizations, large organized systems of knowledge production, millions of knowledge-workers and an even larger number of citizens trying to engage in knowledge-based activities ranging from agriculture through semi-skilled workers to industrial workers, coupled with the fact of the country being especially gifted with immense diversity in natural resources - the opportunity set of potential outcomes are immense and invigorating. The long twentieth century in Indian S&T based developmental experiments, in particular at grass roots, has thrown up immense volumes of data, facts and artifacts. A crucial issue emerges. The country very badly needs a strong mechanism to capture data related to S&T and innovation right from the regulatory or executive levels to source-points where S&T output or innovations get generated. This Report presents several facets of Indian S&T. In lieu of attempting the development of a set of traditionally known indicators of S&T, the attempt here has been to capture multiple facets of Indian economy and society where S&T makes contributions. With unstated theoretical bases, contributors presented research conclusions in the form of several portrayals. Given the fact that S&T interfacing the economy and society has very large dimensions this Report could take up only a handful. Such a collage offers albeit a picture of where Indian S&T is located. The report is the first of its kind from this country. It is targeted at a wide readership ranging from policy makers and advisors to academic readers as well as the common person. The contents of the report are: * S&T Human Resources * S&T Financing * S&T Structure, Infrastructure and Public Space * S&T and Industry * S&T Output and Patents * S&T for Rural India and Inclusive Growth Further Details: http://cssp-jnu.blogspot.com/2009/09/india-science-and-technology-2008.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See the Web's breaking stories, chosen by people like you.
