Proceedings of The 32nd Meeting of The Central Advisory Board of Education Held at Chandigarh in October 1965

Abstract

The invaluable assistance which science can render in revolutionising our industries, agriculture and economy as a whole, do not stand in need of reiteration. I am also aware of the endeavour made by our educationists during the eighteen years of independence to impart a scientific orientation to our educational system at the various stages, to set up institutions for higher scientific research, and to carry the fruits of scientific research to the common man. But when we look around and note the progress which we have made, we cannot escape the feeling that much more still needs to be done in this direction. There is still a need for correlating research in our national laboratories and the universities with the problems and requirements of the people and a need for establishing a healthy and growing rapport between our research workers and the people.
