Fostering research

This article suggests an idea to foster research at professional educational institutes.  This suggestion is an amalgamation of solutions that will finally produce the tendency of research amongst the students and professors.  The problem, first with the professors in colleges is that they are satisfied with the salaries they get and don't take the risk of investing time into projects that command more time and resources.  The other problem in which the professors are involved is the state where they are payed minimal salary.  When the professors are provided with a salary that is not in par with their work, they naturally lose interest with the institution they work in and in the end have absolutely no interest towards research.


Not to blame the professors all the time, students on their part also are a major cause for research not being done at colleges.  Students look for enjoyment all the time and when it comes to project, they do it for name sake or some even make an "outright purchase!!".  When one student of a class does this, it spreads to everyone in the class and the whole class gets infected by this syndrome and no body does a worthy project "on their own!".  One way to encourage research among students is to award good cash prizes for outstanding research done.  But, the originality of project must be taken into account.  Only through pure commitment from professors and students can a good research project evolve and this is entirely a collaborated work rather than a success of an individual!
