| Change climate for research | 20-OCT-09 |
|
| The Union ministry for environment and forests and the Indian Space Research Organisation have come up with a typically Indian response to the debate on climate change. Build a new institute! New research does not always need a new institution. There is a good case for investing in indigenous research on issues relating to climate change and global warming. But capacity building should not be confused with building capacity. Instead of pouring money into a new campus, new buildings and related infrastructure, the ministry would do well to fund existing institutions and create the critical mass of research manpower necessary to take existing knowledge forward. There is no doubt that some of the research conducted in western institutions is driven by western development agendas. There is no denying that we must have domestic research capability so that we can examine issues pertaining to climate change from our own developmental perspective. |
