Today is Valmiki Jayanti, so here is a post on the great Maharishi:
Maharishi (the great sage) claims the distinction of being the author of the holy epic 'Ramayana' consisting of 24,000 verses. He is also believed to be the author of Yoga Vasistha, a text that elaborates on a range of philosophical issues. There are different versions regarding the time period and life of Valmiki. The Valmiki Ramayana is believed to be dated variously from the period 500 BC to 100BC. But at the same time Valmiki is also said to be the contemporary of Shri Rama. Sita took refuge in her Ashram where Lava and Kusa were born. Against this backdrop, the period of Valmiki is likely to date back to thousand of years.
वाल्मीकि जयंती सर्वेषां जीवनं सुखसंपन्नं करोति।
। शुभकामनाः।

India is losing its doctors, engineers & entrepreneurs to other countries.
Reservation is indeed one of the top reasons why there is a brain drain.

No Indian working in India has won a science Nobel in 94 years
why?
It has been 94 years since an Indian working in India won the Nobel Prize in Science.
The Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to C.V. Raman in 1930 is the only Nobel Prize in the sciences awarded to an Indian working in India.
While other Indian-origin scientists have received Nobel Prizes, but they did not work in India and were not Indian citizens when they received the Nobel Prize in Science.

key reasons that contribute to this phenomenon.
The impact of colonial rule on India's educational and scientific infrastructure has had long-lasting effects.
During the colonial period, scientific research was often underfunded and lacked institutional support, which hindered the development of a robust scientific community.
After gaining independence in 1947, India faced numerous challenges, including economic constraints, political instability, and a focus on immediate developmental needs, which often overshadowed investments in scientific research.
Compared to developed countries, India allocates a relatively small percentage of its GDP to research and development (R&D).
This limited funding affects the ability of scientists to conduct high-quality research and pursue innovative projects.
Many Indian research institutions face infrastructural challenges, including outdated facilities, lack of access to advanced technology, and insufficient resources for conducting cutting-edge research

A significant number of Indian scientists and researchers pursue opportunities abroad, particularly in the United States and Europe, where they have access to better funding, resources, and collaborative opportunities.
This brain drain results in a loss of talent that could contribute to scientific advancements within India.
Many Indian scientists who have made significant contributions to their fields have done so while working in foreign institutions, which may lead to their recognition and awards, including Nobel Prizes, rather than being acknowledged for work conducted in India.
The focus of scientific research in India has often been on applied sciences and immediate societal needs, such as agriculture, health, and technology, rather than on fundamental research that could lead to groundbreaking discoveries recognized by the Nobel Committee.

Modern scientific research is increasingly collaborative and interdisciplinary.
Indian scientists may not always be part of the global networks that lead to high-profile discoveries, which can affect their visibility and recognition.
The Nobel Prize selection process is subjective and influenced by various factors, including the prevailing scientific trends and the interests of the Nobel committees.
This can lead to certain fields or types of research being favored over others, impacting the chances of recognition for Indian scientists.

⚡️India declared Trachoma free by WHO
Trachoma is the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. It is caused by an obligate intracellular bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis. The infection is transmitted by direct or indirect transfer of eye and nose discharges of infected people, particularly young children who harbour the principal reservoir of infection. These discharges can be spread by particular species of flies
