Nirmala, This is certainly a great effort at developing the different Centre's for research and development and would contribute much to the educational and research infrastructure in Goa.
In all such endeavors, you would need to be more aggressive to seek out the resources that you need. Get a personal meeting with the Chief Minister... who I am sure is quite supportive of such developments, and would intervene to accelerate the process of getting the land approvals etc. In addition you should also publish a prospectus about this development in the major Goa newspapers. You could also seek financial grants from the CSIR. Goa also has the major industrial houses like Salgaocars, Dempos, Sesa Goa, the Zuari-Birla industries, D-Link etc. that you need to actively pursue to obtain funds for development and sponsorship. In addition you could also approach the other major Indian Industrial houses, such as Tata, Reliance, Mahindra, Godrej, Infosys, Wipro too. You would need to do a lot more pro-active marketing to seek the sponsors for these ventures. You would need to directly seek out and contact sources of sponsors, don't expect sponsors to come to you! Good Luck, -- Brian Antao Nirmala [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed, 11 Feb 2004 09:17:39 +0000 (GMT) Dear Fred, Hello. Research does count. At Goa institute of Management, we are planning to establish research centres exclusively devoted to promote research culture in Goa and to meet the information needs of the industry, academicia and the government on different areas. We plan to start four research centres namely, Centre for Management of Education, Centre for Health Care Management, Centre for Entrepreneurship Development and Centre for Services Excellence. A major constraint is the limited funding for research. Although the Institute has provided a sufficiently good infrastructure, we currently have a limitation on the physical space available (permission to build in the vacant area is still due from the government, as the building is owned by them, leased to GIM) and also need sufficient funds to start them. We are looking for sources, and please let us know if any of the organisations abroad or in India are willing to associate with us in this process. Looking forward to an active response, Regards, Nirmala __________________________________________________________________ Introducing the New Netscape Internet Service.
