Our responsibilities.

Dear Friends,
Now that we have decided to participate and contribute in whatever way we can for the development of our motherland in general and Bihar in specific with our acquired knowledge, I would like to draw your attention on some of the basic things.
Since we have volunteered to help our people, set up scientific environment in the state without any selfish motive of personal benefit, we must stick to it and live by examples.This would help us inspire many more people who feel the same but are looking towards us for guidance/leadership.In this modern world with so many specialization, it is difficult for anyone of us to have expertise on all subjects, so I would like to request people from all walks of life with any expertise they have to come forward and contribute in full swing.Its our responsibility to be the lighthouse.Its our responsibility to demonstrate to the world about the truth of Bihar. Bihar is not what it is portrayed either by media or people from other states with little exposure. We should rather be proud that we show extreme diversity from rickshaw pullers on the streets of Kolkata to Chandigarh to being the most influential and honest IAS/IPS officers from Chennai to New Delhi.
Even in the scientific arena, Bihar is the leading player though this is not highlighted by the media.Let me site one simple but great example. The Govt of India started the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Fellowship in 2001 under CSIR(Council for Scientific and Industrial Research), the main funding agency of Indian science.This fellowship was started to stop braindrain. So, the govt decided to make the selection criteria very strict.Only the top 20% of those who clears the CSIR/JRF/NET are eligible to sit for this exam. Though the Govt decided to give this fellowship to a maximum of five candidates in each field (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths and Earth Sciences), till now the limit of 25 has never been achieved. To give you the conclusion in a single sentence about this selection, it is suffice to say that the ratio of those who sit for this exam to those who clear it eventually is 1:10,000. Even then, you will be astonished to know Bihar ranks among the top three states in terms of those who have been awarded this fellowship. Infact, the first two SPM fellows out of four awarded had their roots in Bihar. You people can log into the CSIR website to have more information about this.
So, all I mean to say is that all we have everything we need.All we need is to create the conducive environment and lead by examples. Even before we really get our IISER or any other institute we need to change our attitude towards our fellow beings.We need to put the welfare of our state and people first before allowing the selfishness flash in our mind.We need to become more professional. Just HIRE and keep the BEST and FIRE the REST.
My dear brothers and sisters, lets be united and put a joint fight.This is just the beginning. We need to transform the thinking of not only others but our own people too.The responsibility of creating a corruption free state rests on us.If you think YOU CAN DO THIS, JUST DO IT. If you think you REALLY EDUCATED and not just a literate with a degree of FRCS, PhD, MCA, MD/MS, FNaSc, DSc etc, am sure you will take this challenge and live by examples. We have no right to complain about corruption, lies, cheating, literacy, bad shape of our society or state if we don't care to do anything about it. Big lectures or talks are not the solution to our problems.We have to JUST DO IT to make our point. If I can do it, I am sure YOU ALL (much smarter than me) CAN DO IT.
Thank you.May Divine mother bless us ALL in our mission.
