“When bureaucracy can slow our best institutions, imagine Tier-2 and Tier-3 colleges. Small delays turn promising projects into missed windows of discovery. This cumulative drain — across all fields, not just research — signals systemic failure to retain talent at home. The scheme asks, ‘How do we bring back the best?’ The more urgent question is: ‘Why does the system make staying so difficult?’ Fix the upstream barriers, and India will nurture its brightest minds to build its own future."

“Professional education does not merely produce employable graduates; it shapes the character of those who will influence the country’s future. When institutions focus only on performance and ignore the formation of values, the consequences ripple far beyond individual careers. Too often, education becomes a set of skills rather than a formation of the self—the mind is sharpened, but the heart is left unformed. A college may top every league table, yet fail society if it produces graduates who lack ethical resilience or compassion.”
— Fr. Mukti Clarence, The Hindustan Times, (27/11)
