8th Jan. 2007: A
four member delegation of BiharBrains met Sri Sushil Kumar
Modi, Deputy Chief Minister ,Govt of Bihar today at 5.00
P.M. and presented the demand for establishment of Indian
Institute of Science Education & Research (IISER)
and discussed its various facets . The meeting lasted
for about forty minutes. Mr. Modi was very positive in
his approach and tried to understand the problems associated
with science education and research in the state of Bihar
and apathetic attitude of the centre.. He was also concerned
with falling standards as well as dearth of good students
in the higher education especially in the science/tech.
field. He assured the delegation that as he had a scheduled
meeting with Chief Minister on 9th Jan 2007, he would
make it a point to raise the issues presented in the memorandum
with him. The delegation stressed that it was high time
for the state government to make it a point to strongly
demand the IISER in our state as it would help in strengthening
& raising the quality of science education in the
state.
Though the BB is trying to meet the P.M. and the Union
HRD Minister with the memorandum but they feel that unless
the state govt. took the issue seriously at the central
level it would be a difficult proposition. Mr. Modi opined
that the state's student's performance level was still
higher than most of the states in Joint entrance or other
services examination.
The honourable Minister also invited the BiharBrains'
local representatives to the Global Meet of NRI and planners
being held at Patna on Jan 19-21 ,2007.
