The document discusses India's historical contributions to mathematics and science, including the concept of zero by Aryabhatta and the origins of calculus in the ancient Kerala school of astronomy. It notes that few landmark scientific contributions came from India for several centuries after this. The document recommends developing research networking at the national and international levels between Indian and foreign institutions. This includes collaborations between the UGC and US National Science Foundation, as well as having at least one member from an international university on PhD research committees in India. It suggests pioneering undergraduate research conferences to foster research interest at an early age.

2.  Man’s search for the Truth and for
knowledge.(Information – Knowledge -
Truth) e.g. Origin of the Universe.
 Testimonial point - Aryabhatta (0). The
concept of zero is at the core of
mathematics, physics – And therefore the
whole of entire science.
 Kerala Astronomers – The reliable origins of
Calculus are traced back to the ancient
kerala school of astronomy.(which was
much before Newton or Leibniz developed
there ideas.)

3.  In the next/last about several
centuries hardly any landmark
scientific contribution has come
from India.

Part 3, recommendation no 3.9(In the
areas of research and development,
and education in science & Technology,
special measures will be taken to
establish network arrangements
between different institutions in the
country to pool their resources and
participate in projects of national
importance.)

 Roping in researchers from international
universities of repute for being part of
PhD research committees of doctoral
students in Indian universities.

7.  Roping in researchers from international
universities of repute for being part of
PhD research committees of doctoral
students in Indian universities.
 UGC can make a norm such that of the
total research committee members for a
candidate’s PhD program at least one
must be from an international university.

8.  Doctoral conferences – recent trend and has proved a
great success.
 If we do undergraduate level conferences –
undergraduate students would get acquainted with
and interested in research at young age. This will go
a long way in creating and strengthening research
tendencies and acumen in students at very early
stage.
 India can take initiative and pioneer this endeavour.

9.  We need to Develop the Networking
between the National Researches with
International researches.
 Need to give the research opportunity to
undergraduates.
 There should be 40% of member of
international university repute being part
of PhD research committees of doctoral
students in Indian universities.

10.  National Policy on education by ministry
of Human resource Development.
