Outcome of first global chat/discussion on Scientific Commiittee

We had a global chat on the formation of Scientific Council in Bihar under the umbrella of Biharbrains.
The following people were involved in the chat/discussions:

1)Bibhuti Bikramaditya (Korea)
2)Manish Kr.Jha(Korea)
3)Prabhat Kr.Purbey(NCCS, Pune, India)
4)Ranjeet Kumar
5)Dr.Dinesh Kumar Singh (USA)

Keeping in line with the aims and objectives of the Biharbrains for scientific developments in Bihar, it was decided that the Scientific Council should take into consideration all streams of science.This is broadly classified into 5 streams as per CSIR, Govt of India, viz; Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Mathematical Sciences and Computers, Life Sciences and Earth Sciences.

The followiing main points were discussed and agreed upon:

1)The core Scientific Commiittee will comprise of 15 members from India in general and Bihar in particular.Each stream of science will have no more than three members.10 more members (preferably 2 from each stream) from foreign countries will be a part of this commiittee.
However, other people are welcomed to be active member of the scientific committee to help the core committee with valuable suggestions/criticisms for the development of Bihar.

2)The core committee will be presided by Dr.J.Thakur (Physics Dept, Patna University).

3)The selection of the other committee members will be done in the next global chat meet after discussing with the president of the committee.This would be solely based on merit, experience, commitment and dedication of the fellows.

4)The minimum educational qualification decided for the core committee members is a PhD. However, non-PhDs will also be considered based on their academic profile, interest in the persuits of science and committment to work for creating a scientificresearch environment in Bihar.

5)The names of the selected final core members will be finally approved in the 3rd or 4th week of November in the Science Congress going to be held in Patna during SciFest 2007.The group will be notified about the selected members prior to that so that people can give their feedback before the final approval.

Group members are encouraged to participate actively in the formation of the Scientific Council with their valuable inputs.
Thanks a lot,
Biharbrains

Let me take critics position while writing comments. Ealier I was taking interest and later I have lost interest, now I really wonder If this scientific community can do wonder. Following are the suggestion.
1. Never publsih any news of your meetings. After all it is your internal thing and this is why people hesitate.
2. Rather publish your work, achievement etc.
