It should be a level playing field for meritocracy rather than an institute of accommodation for social justice (Unfortunately the sole reason why all Govt institutions were filled with regressive attitude) <br /><br /> The simple rule should be the higher the scientific grading of an university the more rightfully it is entitled to more central funds to expand its scientific edge (Naturally the institution will be a magnet for more private funding)<br /><br /> With some many fields of technologies there will be enough space for every one (Universities) to pioneer in selective fields.

Seems like the navy is interested in acquiring second carrier based on vikrant design quickly. <br /><br /> Also with godavari class frigates and rajput class destroyers nearing their service life. Is there any proposal to acquire more capital ships constructed by private shipyards? What about a lighter frigate design based on kamorta hull with naval brahmos mini as the primary armament which can be acquired in good numbers.

What exactly is the IAF playing at? Are they going to wait until we loose our PM in a helicopter crash before they issue a new set of RFI/RFP?? Why are they sat on their behinds as each passing day the Mi-8 VVIP fleet is ticking closer to their end of service date??<br /><br />The way I see it we only have one option left- a fast racked FMS deal for the S-92 (the L2 bidder for the original deal), it seems to meet the requirements of the IAF and could be delivered fast.<br /><br />No more wasting time the GoI, MoD and IAF need to get to it, stop endangering the lives of our senior most officials.
