I must say one of the best. But if someone is talking about &amp;quot;RESEARCH&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;FACTS&amp;quot;(quote unquote), then the ugly truth is only and only the ETC (Electronics and Telecomm Department of JU) can uplift the flag. I have doubt whether the other departments consist those Brilliant Research Mentalities or not. Though I am not from JU, bt i have closely seen JU. 

Anyways, I am not going into the Debate of placing JU and Anna University before IITs and some RECs. But if we are talking about names, then JU and Anna University are lagging far behind of IITs and some RECs. 

I guess the author should rethink about all the facts....&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=16749" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Will the LCA ever fly with an Indian engine? </title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/labrats/archive/2009/02/09/will-lca-ever-fly-with-an-indian-engine.aspx#16748</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:43:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:16748</guid><dc:creator>sohan singh</dc:creator><description>we should not discourage our indigenous program and ur scientists and engineers.

Now, I understand that it is being developed as an electrical power generating machine also. The engine must be commercially successful and fund part of its future development costs itself.
Meanwhile, it is also in the news that the engine is again undergoing altitude test at Russia. if successful this engine mounted on LCA will reduce substantially the gap of military might between India and China.

As a cyclone is formed it&amp;#39;s name is taken from the list. The name for the cyclone in question &amp;quot;AILA&amp;quot; was given by Maldives and is a common name for girls there. The marathi or oriya meaning for the name is purely coincidental.

I used to work in ISRO for the salary that the tax payers pay. I think I worked much more than required! But if I worked for that alone it would be useless. I worked for the country, there is more than just pride that goes into Chandrayaan, it shows to the world that we have capability. You think international companies will invest in India simply, you have to create a brand name. Do you know we spend the same amount of money on a set of roads in your neighborhood which lasts maybe one rainfall! 

I think it was money spent in the best possible way. Adding to the fact that we are building and learning as a country and not buying.
BTW: It is very naive to contemplate that these are &amp;quot;whims&amp;quot; of scientists. I suggest you look beyond your own doorstep at the global picture.

It is the only government research center in India which produces consistent results. Do remember it is easy to critique. I suggest you introspect and see what you contribution towards our country.

All in good spirit.
S Venkataraman
