The day the DEFINITION of CELEBRITY changes from bollywood actors to successful entrepreneurs and great scientists that's the is beginning of a NEW ERA for India.

Media has become a big curse in India these days.. When I was a student in India, the only newspaper that I read was the Hindu and they presented scientific information in simple terms that can be comprehended by the reader with little science background. But these days, in every news media, newspaper is a bundle of junk info about celebrities and useless stuff.. Surely the news media has become a curse on India...

SPEED IS IRRELEVANT IF WE ARE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION....Pachauri's questions & Panelists answers makes sense. The real change would be possible if the media & educational institutes portray the benefits of research and political system & industry need to pamper students aspirations by providing a sustainable career. Today every other student pursues Engineering or Medicine as if there are no other areas of profession. Ever realized what would happen if there is a strict law barring outsourcing by western countries? Arts & Humanitarian degrees are among the least pursued. Bright students from IITs want a job in Finance by going for MBA....what are they contributing to this country with their knowledge acquired in IIT?

Thankyou, conduct more programs like this. After 9 years what are the changes we come across. Scientists are not coming out of labs and libraries and not solving much social issue. We are not putting concern in education 85% of student population donot have a vision and is learning only for getting good marks in exam. Sports is not getting priority. All competitive exams have high registration fees. Fees in all national institutions ( iits, iiser, etc) are high. Students are not doing research as a service. 90% of student population is not talking anything about the problems faced by our country. Schools and colleges are only concered about exams getting good marks and becoming happy with that. We have hope with remaining 10% and we all should work together to increase that number. Another important problem is we are not giving equal importance to all jobs. All jobs and not concerned equal. We all can contribute to the world.

I have never seen a science dedicated channel

It is a good debate to know about something, it is the time to improve our education system, it is the time to invest so much amount on our Indian software, it is the time to improve our agricultural software and it is the time to encourage students towards research and finally it is the time to educate and motive our-self to useful to our India.

ndtv family very very thank you.Dr Prannoy Roy you are doing well.thank you very much

Wot a great debate show ......great to see great science luminaries... Now days we miss those days...we are forced to irationality and all types of supertious beliefes by these days....what a pathatic situation for science in india these days

This quality show has only 20k views where as tiktoker has million follower and views -- that's the pathetic reality that drags innovation in vicious cycle.

I do gree to the noble laureate molecular biologist that the Rational thinking in school level is the key to social, political in channeling the research and development institution more in the country.

Hmm, I know about the three scientitsts (Venkataraman, CNR Rao, MS swaminathan). They have a lot of scientific contributions, several publications and awards, Its unfortunate that I coudn't find any publications of the "brilliant computer scientist" N Chandrasekaran of TCS.

Good interaction! This whole discussion is very informative for India's youth, especially science students like us! We are glad to understand the utility and worth of the knowledge e are getting at our esteemed institution. Mohan Bajaj, Engineering Student, Glocal University, U.P.

One of the best interview i have ever watch.

Venkatraman Ramakrishna is a brilliant man. Unfortunately he is us citizen

the anchor must have some decency...what does you mean by ask a tough question..do you want to

This brought me a smile amid choas of last few years. A sublime discussion. But, seeing their hopes and dreams here I am afraid they would be disappointed if they look at this summit discussion now for India has moved regressive rather scientific.

Kindly make more programmes and more episodes on science and innovation so that our bharat ratna's and sciebtists can inspire more aspiring minds and give them a direction

NDTV and Pronoy Roy always focus more on the 'good times' & things in life, contrary to what other news houses such as Republic TV do. The result is quite clear - popularity of the news channel vis-a-vis the popularity of the topics that it covers.

genome mixing will saved us energy from methane producing bacteria genome mixing with nitrogen fixation bacteria genome so we got more materials for dynamites naturally any bacteria which produced more complex hydrocarbons as their ends production will mix with nitrogen fixation bacteria genome so we got more materials for dynamites

Dr pointed out india has worst health care system

The conclusion of the mediator was 100% unscientific. Scientific temper is not coming from DNA. Mostly it is an acquired comprehension getting through the process of accumulation of knowledge by time.

This discussion has participants & panel provoking discrimination based on the region. And the other issue is they are speaking about online education, GMOs and all sorts of obsolete technology or that is already available & currently in use. Where is the VISION? How are we supposed to take something out of these discussion where the very people who are lagging behind are speaking about technological advancements. Open your eyes & see how other countries are rocketing while you spend more time in regional politics & bias. The only scientist who seems to have an insight & vision is Dr. Venkatraman.

petrol again by synthetic hydrogen synthetic chlorophyll and other chemicals so we got more petroleum products if we run a power house which uses chemicals and microbiology so we got petroleum products

more complex genome mixing will gives more complex hydrocarbons for distraction🔥💢🔥💢

Quantum Physics has proved that there is no GOD.

microbiology will turned all the wastage into gaseous parts which uses as fuel gasses

blah blah blah
