SSN
institutions were set up more than a decade back to
bring world class education within reach of all citizens
of India. One of the cornerstones of a world class
Institution is the ability to create knowledge through
innovative, cutting edge research. It is important for
us to build our academic curricula on the bedrock of
research and to weave the research culture into every
facet of education because research is what separates
leaders from followers. The goal of SSN Institutions is
to produce the leaders of tomorrow and to create the
environment from which future Noble Laureates will
emerge.
Establishing the SSN Research Centre is a vital step
towards reaching our goals. The SSN Research Center will
bring together the leading researchers in India and
enable them to network globally to address problems of
national relevance and seek solutions through science
and technology. Today we face a global oil crisis that
could severely hamper economic development both in India
and internationally. To help alleviate this crisis, SSN
Research Center will work on developing alternative
sources of energy that are renewable sustainable and
that protect the environment. Embedded systems and
materials are other areas that we will initially focus
on.
The SSN Research Center will be an invaluable resource
not only to the SSN community, but also to the nation
and to the world. I wish the Centre all success. |
