“Nobel Prize” is regarded as the most highly acclaimed and the most prosperous and prestigious award or recognition that a person can get. It is spread in five fields – Physics, Chemistry, Peace and Physiology or Medicine and Prize in Economics and is the cause of will of Mr. Alfred Nobel. The first prize was honored in 1969.

This was a brief description about the Noble prize. Our India currently has a toll of 8 noble prizes since the first in 1902 and the last in 1998. With a population of over a billion, we have only 8 noble laureates! With such a large talented youth we have only 8 noble laureates! After having a look at the Noble prize toll of countries like USA, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland etc. we feel very small among these nations. We say that we have a very talented youth, highly achieved people, so what’s the disparity then? Why and where are we lacking behind?
There are many factors and reasons which contribute to this outcome of lacking behind.

  • Lack of Efforts:

    • Not just the system but also the Indian youth is to be blamed and held responsible for this. Nowadays, most people as well as our youth has an ideology of making money, getting rich, spending a comfortable life. This ideology is making us lack behind. We do not urge and wish really to go in extensive research and studies and devote whole life to sciences or serving worlds. We in fact use short cuts i.e. making money and getting instant fame. So if we only fear or run away from it and don’t change this ideology, how and why can we expect Noble prize even if we are talented??

  • Frauds and fakes:

    • The 21st century India is turning to be rather a dishonest and fraud instead of being the opposite. Same theory applies here, most of the research works and scientific papers prepared are paper work manipulations from the researches and experiments done somewhere else, rather being innovative.

  • Lack of Investments:

    The Indian education system lacks far behind than the developed mechanisms in foreign countries. An Indian youth doesn’t get the facility, machinery or financial investments from the Governmental organizations and institutions that can help him to carry a scientific or any such research.

  • Lack of platform and help:

    • The Indian Research and Development doesn’t provide such financial help so that any true researcher can invent anything or contribute to Sciences. This is directly the fault of system and the government, which prevents the entrance and existence of Indian scientists. Here, the system should feel and sense its responsibility towards the youth development.

  • Lack of scope:

    • As I mentioned earlier, ideology is shifting towards “scope” and do researches have scope? No. The reality is that the Indian Scientists starve; firstly they have to spend a large lump sum from their pockets and are even not helped fully by the Government. This tends to repel youth from the field, so who’d like to enter it then??

  • Lack of recognition and acknowledgment:

    • It’s a fact that Indian researchers or scientists have lacked proper recognition by government and media, which today are the greatest medium to gain popularity and fame, but these people who deserve are left behind.

So, if we wish to expect Noble prizes from India we need to expect more C.V. Raman s, more S. Chandrasekhar s, more APJ Abdul Kalam s, more CNR Rao s and such dedicated people and a good Governmental system which can help the youth, touch the sky.
