Pioneer new technologies: Kalam to Indian Scientists
Mumbai: The growth that India has achieved so far is based on patents that have
been generated outside the country, said Former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
The time has come that Indian scientists pioneer innovation and technology
development, achieve growth on their own patents, instead of others, he added.
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research has "rich heritage" in areas like
research, basic sciences and technology research and it can contribute to the
growth and prosperity of the country, said Kalam to scientists and students at
the Homi Bhabha auditorium.
Kalam emphasized on green energy and told that scientists should focus on
moon-based solar power or space power as it is non-polluting. According to him,
scientists should work on safe transmission of solar power from outer space to
earth for human habitation.
He also pointed out some areas, that scientists can work on, such as increasing
solar photovoltaic cell efficiency by using carbon nano tubes, nuclear power
generation using thorium based reactor, proteomics research, integrated vaccine
development, prevention of HIV/AIDS, forecasting earthquakes, work on adult
stem cells, umbilical stem cells and embryonic stem cells.
Kalam presented a model of ASTROSAT, India's first multi wavelength astronomy
satellite, which will be launched on board the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
in April 2011.
