- Swami Vivekananda
Science & technology and Agriculture research sections in the newspapers The Hindu have in-numerous people from all walks of life and sometimes without formal education contributing. Few examples where Research & Development can be initiated:
Agriculture: Farmers suicides
How to make a secure farmer?
Innovative methods of farming, innovative tools & machinery
Traditional farming techniques
Small Businesses: Fine tuning Small Businesses.
“As in any nation, small and medium businesses are the backbone of India’s economy and the main generators of employment opportunities. They are also the most vulnerable to wrong-headed decisions about money management, savings, credit and debt. Our fine business schools are turning out brilliant professionals who are picked up by the best international companies even before they complete their studies. But we are doing almost nothing to turn out fine small business owners, although they are the ones who provide most of the employment.”
Brij Khindaria (an international affairs columnist for Business India) Business India dated July 16, 2006, Page No. 50
Governance: Electoral Reforms
Beyond congress or any other party
Do we need a party system?
Defence: Half Baked Reforms at RAW
“As early as 2002, former RAW officer B. Raman had asserted that “we might find one day that the sensitive establishments of this country have been badly penetrated under the guise of intelligence cooperation” – a warning that India can no longer afford to ignore.”
Praveen Swami
