According to R. A. Mashelkar's recent article in The Hindu, the grand challenges are as follows:
- To build some irreverence in the educational system
- To create innovation ecosystem
- To create truly innovative scientists
- To pose big problems
- To promote out of the box thinking
Primary education, modes and delivery of our education system do not figure in these "grand" challenges. May be it is now fashionable to think big, do big, dream big, etc. We should first learn to do simple things elegantly and effectively.
