The Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has asked scientists to seek newer frontiers of research, match capabilities of peers around the world and help India leapfrog. Inaugurating the new campus of CSIR's Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, IGIB in New Delhi yesterday, he asked scientists to redouble efforts in research and development, a field where India has been overtaken by other rapidly emerging powers. Dr Singh said that India had the good fortune of investing in science long before other developing countries did. He said it was the patriotism of the generation represented by scientists like C V Raman and J C Bose that had enabled the political leadership to help build research capabilities across the country.
