According to Rao, this is the reason why Indian institutes are not listed in the top institutes of the world. 
 "90 per cent of the universities in our country have outdated curriculum. We talk about increasing funds, increasing infrastructure but there is no improvement in the content we are teaching in our hi-tech classrooms," Rao was quoted saying during the <keyword id="3127703" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Visitors-Conference">Visitor's Conference</keyword> at the Rashtrapati Bhawan yesterday. 
 
"One of the major reasons behind why Indian institutions don't make it to the top 100 universities in the world. There are lot of Indian students abroad who want to study in our country and come back but there are no quality colleges to offer them the same kind of environment and education," he added. 
 
"Talent search in our country has always been marginal. We teach our students what Newton and Faraday did but there is no mechanism to look out for similar talent in interiors of the country," he said. 
 
Talkimg about the bureaucratic hassles in the education system, he said that, "You want to introduce a course, institute a fellowship, establish an exchange programme, utilise the already allocated funds... there are so many laws, too many bureaucratic rooms. I think that process should be simplified."

While Mukherjee spent his entire political career spanning decades as a member of the Congress Party, he was respected across party lines. The current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who belongs to the rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has hailed Mukherjee as an "outstanding statesman of our times". Mukerjee's term as President of India, a post enabled by the Congress, ended in 2017. His successor President Ram Nath Kovind presented the award in a ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the President's residence, today (August 8) in the presence of the country's top leaders. <div type="Youtube" id="KYdI9dYW-as" title="President Kovind presents Bharat Ratna to Shri Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KYdI9dYW-as/mqdefault.jpg"></div>

 Mukherjee, a long-term Congress loyalist, has been among the senior-most ministers in many governments from the one headed by Indira Gandhi to her son Rajiv Gandhi followed by Narasimha Rao and most recently under Manmohan Singh between 2004 and 2014. Known for his ability to strike a deal, Mukherjee played crucial roles in breaking many political deadlocks.

Hyderabad, Feb 19 (): Describing India's latest taxreform GSTas "the biggest madness of the 21st century," BJPleader and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday saidthat the country needs to grow at 10 per cent per annum tobecome a superpower by 2030.He also demanded that former Prime Minister, late P VNarasimha Rao, be given the highest civilian award, the BharatRatna, for the reforms he introduced during his tenure.Speaking on "India - an Economic Superpower by 2030",organised by the Pragna Bharati here, Swamy said though thecountry had achieved eight per cent growth from time to time,there had been no improvements on the reforms brought in bythe Congress leader."So how to get that 3.7 per cent (efficiency factor toutilize investments)? (We need to)fight corruption, second,reward those who will invest.Don't terrorise them (investors) with income tax and thisGST, which is the biggest madness of the 21st century.This GST is so complicated (that) nobody understandswhich form to fill where.And they wanted it to be uploaded to the computer.Somebody came from Rajasthan, Barmer...He said we donthave electricity, how can we upload?So I said upload it on your head and go to the PrimeMinister and tell him," Swamy said on improving efficiencylevels of investments.He opined that India should grow at 10 per cent per annumfor the next 10 years to become a superpower.If this momemntum continued, then it would overtake Chinaand also challenge the U.S. for the number one position in 50years, he said.Swamy said the problem India currently faces is shortageof demand as people do not have money to spend, therebyhindering the economic cycle."You want 10 per cent growth rate, then investment rateto the GDP should be 37 per cent and 3.7 per cent should beyour efficiency factor and not five per cent as it is today,"he said, suggesting that Income tax be abolished to removecorruption and achieve higher economic growth.Pitching for the Bharat Ratna for Narasimha Rao, the BJPleader said that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, asFinance Minister in Rao's cabinet, implemented the reforms inthe 1990s. "After (PV's regime) that, we have been achieving eightper cent from time to time. But we have not improved on thereforms that Narasimha Rao brought in.We need to do it now. Your question is will we be aneconomic superpower by 2030 in 10 years? Of course we can," hesaid.Swamy said per acre agricultural output in India was lesscompared to many other countries due to lack of irrigationfacilities. GDK APRAPR APR

The Prime Minister, who inaugurated various development works here to mark the birth anniversary of B.R. Ambedkar, said the people of the country should strive to fulfil the dreams of freedom fighters. He said each and every Indian should have a house in the next five years. "We have a dream for 2022. The poorest of poor should have a house of his own. And that house must be equipped with electricity, water and other facilities. There should be hospitals and schools in the neighbourhood," <keyword id="6354642" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Modi">Modi</keyword> said. <div type="embedgroup"> <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="58177182" title="Exclusive: Mahesh Murthy&amp;#39;s Unique Art of Survival- From Being a Vacuum Salesman to an Ace Investor" rank="1.0" kind="RELATED" publishDate="Apr 14, 2017, 11:04 AM" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div></div>
Referring to Ambedkar, Modi said he did not have a trace of bitterness or revenge in him despite facing struggles in his life. Earlier, Modi paid homage to the architect of the Indian Constitution, Bharat Ratna Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar on the occasion of his 126th birth anniversary here on Friday.

Infosys cofounder NR <keyword id="6355623" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Narayana-Murthy">Narayana Murthy</keyword> shares the same sentiments as that of Bharat Ratna Professor CNR Rao and believes that the <keyword id="75850" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Indian-Institute-of-Science">Indian Institute of Science</keyword> is yet to meet higher expectations and that there is work to be done. 
 
While delivering a gathering during the convocation of the IISc, Murthy on Wednesday said that as compared to western universities, India had no earth-shaking invention and urged higher educational institutes to incentivise focused research. 
 "IISc is the leader in engineering and <keyword id="2952898" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="research-in-India">research in India</keyword>. Therefore, expectations are higher. IISc can do better even by Indian standards. We all want IISc to be one of the top institutions in the world and there is work to be done,” said Murthy. 
 
Murthy said that the scientific research had not received enough attention of prime ministers since Jawaharlal Nehru. “Nehru's exhortation to Indian researchers in the US to come back to India (in 1962) resulted in the green revolution, white revolution, advances in atomic energy and the space programme. We have to recreate the magic of the sixties," he said. 
 
Murthy called on academicians, politicians, and corporate leaders and urged them to pitch in to enable impactful work in the real world. 
 
Many researchers agreed with Murthy. 
 
Vijay Kumar Sutrakar, a DRDO scientist who won the gold medal for his PhD thesis in aerospace engineering, said, “IISc lacks instrumentation and testing facilities for advanced research. We have to synchronise our syllabus with next-generation aircraft,” said Sutrakar. 
 
Dr Sheik Rehana, assistant professor with IIIT Hyderabad and gold medalist in civil engineering, told ET: "We need to deal with real problems like drainage issues in our research to learn how to solve it in real life."

Her birthday celebration will include the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/lata-mangeshkars-birthday-to-be-celebrated-with-a-special-event/articleshow/71275034.cms">launch</a> of the book ‘Lata’ and a day-long session of 91 Hindi-Marathi songs. She also sang the patriotic song ‘Ae mere watan ke logon’ in 1963 during the Indo-China war, which moved India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to tears. Miracle of God The Indore-born singer hails from a family of musicians and artists, has no plans of slowing down. She has been singing for the last seven decades and famously claimed to sing until her last breath. Popularly known as didi or sister, Mangeshkar kicked off her music career with a Marathi song ‘NaachuYaa Gade, Khelu Saari Mani Haus Bhaari’ at the age of 13, five years before independence. Soon, her mellifluous voice mixed with talent brought her immense popularity also for being the singer who is “never off-key”. Famous actor Dilip Kumar once said that Latha’s voice is as spectacular as a God’s miracle. Her work spans across historic films like Mughal-E-Azam to popular hits like Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jaayenge, singing playback for actors from Madhubala to Kajal. She has been awarded with Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award in 2001.

She was heavily trolled for her comments on the video of Ranu Mondal — a poor lady who sang on a railway platform to earn her living, saying she should be “original.” Lata who was known as a good luck for many decades in the industry, also shares a turbulent relationship with her equally famous sister, <keyword id="6441118" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Asha-Bhosle">Asha Bhosle</keyword>, who is also a prolific singer. For one, Bhosle broker Lata’s Guinness record as most recorded artist in the history of Indian music, which she held since 1974. In 2011, Bhosle took over the mantle. The rift first started when Asha married Ganpatrao Bhosle, a man 15 years older to her. Lata once claimed that Bhosle stopped the two sisters from meeting. However, the marriage ended in a divorce but Lata and Asha’s relationship remained strained. During Asha’s struggling times in the industry, Lata also disapproved of Asha’s relationship with music director O P Nayyar. So much so that Lata stopped singing for Nayyar altogether. Movie producer Singing is her first love, but Lata has many other talents too. She had composed music for Marathi movies but was too conscious of giving her name to it, and chose to keep it under wraps, under a pseudonym. But the secret came out when the movies she composed for won an award for Best Music, requiring her to receive the recognition on stage. She told the story in a book called ‘Lata in her own voice’, adding that she was too busy recording that she could not focus on composing. She had also produced three Hindi films and a Marathi film. Lata who has never married, likes to read Hindi writer Maithili Sharan Gupt in her free time.

The biopic is titled 'Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon, Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye - ATAL'. The film is an adaptation of the book 'The Untold Vajpayee: Politician and Paradox' by renowned author Ullekh N.P. Talking about the film, Vinod said, "I have been a great fan of Atalji all my life. A born leader, a statesman par excellence, a visionary. Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji was all the above. His contribution to our nation-building is unparalleled, and it is our great honour that Bhanushali Studios Ltd is bringing his legacy to the silver screen." Adding to that Sandeep Singh shared, "Being a filmmaker, I feel that cinema is the best medium to communicate such untold stories, that will unveil not only his political ideologies, but his humane and poetic aspects, that made him the most loved leader of the opposition as well as India's most progressive Prime Minister." The makers, who are scouting for the actor to portray the role of Atalji, will soon announce the actor and director of the film. Scheduled to go on floors in early 2023, the film will be released on Christmas 2023, which marks the 99th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

BANGALORE: Russian supercomputing company RSC group and the Russian Academy of Sciences have proposed collaboration with India to set up advanced supercomputing facilities that will rival China’s Tianhe-2, the world’s fastest supercomputer. 
 
“India has many skills for building supercomputers. It is very strong in software,” said Alexey Shmelev, co-founder and chief operations officer of RSC group and delegate to the Russian Academy of Sciences. “I am ready to share technology with India. I guess there would not be many players who are willing to do so.” 
 In a letter last month, <keyword id="2187361" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="40" keywordseo="Boris-Shabanov">Boris Shabanov</keyword> of the Russian Academy of Sciences has invited a delegation from the Indian Institute of Science and the <keyword id="58906" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Karnataka-government">Karnataka government</keyword> to explore the possibility of a supercomputing centre in Bangalore. 
 
CNR Rao, a Bharat Ratna awardee who heads the scientific advisory council to the prime minister, said it is difficult to assess a potential collaboration right away, but was of the view that “the Chinese are way ahead”.
