The scientists knowledge increases much faster
than the wisdom of public progresses Prime
Minister while inaugurating the 98th Indian
Science Congress at Chennai. The context of the
advantage of the nuclear energy and the
possibility of the nuclear holocaust.
A derivable inference there off Hence the
overall effective advantages of the scientific
pursuits can be known only after the full
consequences of the acquired knowledge gets
assimilated The public should (be allowed to)
gain wisdom on the use of the fruits of science
and technology.

Plenary Session Science Policy-Agenda For Next
Five Years Plenary Session Enhancing Academia
Industry Interactions In the context of the
contents of the presentations in the above two
plenary sessions it may be worth considering the
following point of view on the INNOVATIVE
METHODS
While trying to adapt innovation as a component
in the implementation of projects, the stage of
what next? is encountered more often and the
duration of the deliberation at such stages could
be much longer depending on the results and
progress till that particular stage. Thus it is
necessary to include a sort of EVALUATION
PERIOD which may be seemingly the same as the
incubation period only the following feature (to
be described in the subsequent slide) would
differentiate between the two processes
4
During the incubation period the project proceeds
for a well defined time period which has been
ascertained before setting off the process to
progress and the effective result is guaranteed
only after that specified period with the
required monitoring.
On the other hand, how much would be the
evolution period cannot be ascertained before
setting off into this evolution process.
A continuous monitoring of the progress must be
ensured along with a modifying feedback loop to
be included to result in a cumulative process
which eventually accomplishes an effective
result. Thus the result may be better than the
expected assessment or may be it would lead to a
conclusion that the anticipated quality in the
result is not achievable. This means that a real
time balancing of the positive and negative
trends is incorporated continuously as the
progress is being made. It is the realization of
such an evolutionary process which causes
indefiniteness about the methods followed. It is
this instantaneous balancing feedback
continuously applied to the activities that which
can ensure that the public wisdom also follows
with right pace with the scientists achievements.
All these above considerations on INNOVATIVE
methods have in some form or the other a process
which is arising out of the necessities of an
inclusion of such evolutionary component. How
exactly the time is spent during the evolutionary
periods and what exactly the investigators and
project leaders incorporate in this component is
all about what is required. As one can find that
the accountability , as for as the time spent in
terms of achievements , cannot be the familiar
way as till now and may not follow a conventional
pattern.
5
Personal attention of the much senior persons
would be required by the named project
leaders/principal Investigators to a larger
extent and such a consultancy and monitoring
should be available in such a friendly way that
it is never felt by the actual younger (named-)
implementers as interfering with their autonomy
and freedom.
When it is referred to improving an educational
system, as in the Special Presentation by Dr
Stephan, Provost, Northeastern University, USA,
on An Experientially Based Global Approach to
Engineering Education, it was as if trying to add
an informal component to a formal system of
education system, this time with a cooperative
activity between the industry and educational
institutions. That the Educational researchers
have always looked for ways to incorporate
informal component to a formal system and a
Formal component to an informal system to improve
the effectiveness of education, and that it was
found such optimal procedure to be a solution,
is a well established trend as reported in the
articles in JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH. All
these are again a manifestation of the necessity
to have a much less defined evolutionary
component in the otherwise systematically
prepared proposals and planned projects.

Open source drug discovery is a method which is
similar to the Low cost instrumentation
initiatives for the hardware of equipments. The
emphasis must be on finding out where exactly it
becomes necessary to own the activity and
assets in view of this the patenting activity
and the I.P.R. aspects would have to be
considered. When it is a matter of R.T.I. or
I.P.R. what should be the priority?
When one looks for such flexibilities in the
contents of the presentations at the Plenary
Session Space Summit, then the following aspect
could be discerned. The satellite information as
in the case of the GPS is obtained one way
transfer that is information gets transferred to
the user on all aspects when a requisition is
sent but the user himself cannot store
information in the satellite. However the small
and Medium Satellites scheme makes it possible
for a user to experiment with generating ones
own programs and database based processing and it
is the educational purposes which is the priority
in the SMS programs and initiatives. The use of
GPS may be compared with the black-box approach
in instrumentation when the user can utilize the
potential of the instrument just knowing the
operation of the panel controls of a system by
training. The user is not required to learn the
basic scientific principles of operation and
other design and developmental aspects of the
instrumental technique. On the other hand, low
cost instrumentation initiatives to enable
acquisition of non-propriterate equipments is
adding informal component with more autonomy and
degree of freedom in the instrumentation based
initiatives. The SMS initiatives in space
research are comparable to the later aspect of
the instrumentation activities.

The special lecture by Atsuhiro Tanaka, Senior
Manager, NEC on NECs R D Challenges to design
the future ICT curiously described an another
INTERNET as if the internet can be contained as
one unit like a Computer unit to talk about the
internet another internet different from the
first one. In principle when a computer can get
connected to the Internet, that is when it is
possible to get access to internet from a Unit
that computer unit itself becomes part of
internet. Thus in the light of what was described
earlier as the SMS schemes, instead of one
directional information transfer like in GPS
systems, if the SMS can be programmed in such a
way that the lot of services from one satellite
can be made available from another satellite by
users programming with SMS, then there is some
way of distinguishing technically another
internet without considering issue of
Proprietors. This would mean the satellite
system which has been assigned a frequency band
for its services, can transfer the entire service
operational programmes to another frequency
band at the instance of a users option. This is
like the relaying programs by radio and TV
channels and relaying from one satellite to
another satellite, and receive the services from
another satellite.
8
The lecture by Prof. P. Dayanandan, Chennai, on
Gravitational Biology Basic Research to Growing
Planets in Space exposed a point of view
different from what usually the considerations on
PLANT AND TREE GROWTHS. The botanist or to some
extent the biochemists have been dealing with the
classifications and characteristics of plant
species and their properties. It was a
revelation to know that a lot of statics and
mechanics (physics) have to be taken into account
the way the trees grow with their stems
branches shooting upwards (against gravity) and
roots downwards (the directional of gravitational
force) while the tendency in presence of
gravitational force is to bring the objects
downwards to the ground. And, what would be the
consequence of exposing such phenomenal growths
to the variety of gravitational scenario in
space? Would such experiments bring advantages to
living conditions?

Unlike the advanced research Institutes where in
the scientists are committed totally to
scientific pursuits calling for specialization in
specific areas to bring about inventions that
would stand the test of time, there is also the
necessity to develop science research, in an
inclusively functioning institution, by taking
the public along as the science and technology
advances. This later perspective would apparently
bring about changes slowly and not as
dramatically as the fast rate at which scientists
acquire knowledge. It is probably because the
public factor is lagging, but only the
publicity that is apparently pervasive,
scientists themselves lose sight of the
consequences that are obvious only to the common
people. Thus the emphasis on inclusive
institutions like possibly the Universities, must
be even more. Since discoveries by scientists can
come about only in such environments where
scientists are exposed to common phenomenon about
which they can raise specialized queries which
common people cannot raise. Most often only after
such common people discover something
scientifically very important, they become
acknowledged as scientists of unique capability.
Thus trying to be a wise man from the common
standards seems a prerequisite to build up the
potential to make new discoveries.
