The Law of Physics says: What Goes Up must Come down....I recall the Sky-Lab scare of the late 70's. People were as scared as the Gauls of Asterix comic book. Luckily it landed in the ocean without much destruction to environment or earth. What happens when the satellites and rockets become debris floating in the cosmos and there isn't control by our scientists at Satish Dhawan or Sriharikota facilities?
ISRO was lucky to have had natural born Leaders - APJ Abdul Kalam, Vikram Sarabhai, Radhakrishnan, Satish Dhawan etc.who ably guided the organization in each of its project. Some failures were there no doubt but the success ratio was much higher. Over the years the Launch has been perfected and now with confidence we are able to launch satellites of other countries and not just one but many satellites simultaneously creating records of sorts which gives every Indian a proud feeling.
Navratna Organizations again are something a new branding to an old product. Let's hope that with new branding the structure and hierarchy are also equally cleaned, reinforced and empowered to deliver results.

Sir, I believe the ISRO had a larger mission than merely putting satellites in space.
Now, the time has come for ISRO to send robots into space to clean up the debris of junk
satellites. The Japanese have already formulated such a mission, maybe if ISRO joins
hands with them, we could get a boost into sophisticated robot manned vehicles that can
clean up the debris in space.

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] China gets its own Nalanda, shames IndiaOur PSU's are White
Elephants which bleed the tax payers money guzzling it year after year for decades
without satisfactory results. Our DRDO took almost 3 decades to come out with Arjun - MBT
(Main Battle Tank) but last year the MK II Tanks were grounded for nearly a year and a
half due to glitches. A total of 124 Tanks were grounded - that too when the security
scenario with our neighbors China and Pakistan is worrisome.Army experts have suggested
over 70 changes in the current model in critical areas like thermal imaging viewing,
weaponry system deployment and the turret..by the time they were developing the designs,
the pace of weaponry and design of other advanced countries had their more advanced tanks
way ahead of Arjun which was outdated by now and Army was not too keen on acquisition and
induction.Similar was the fate of fighter aircraft - TEJAS which HAL and DRDO were
jointly trying to manufacture and this project too took 3 decades before a prototype
could come out. And then too it was not 100% indigenous production with critical
equipment's like radar, missiles (from Israel) and seat ejection (from U.K.) and engine
from france.Similar was the fate of IAF's Trainer Aircraft - Ajeet which took over 3
decades.With no accountability in PSU's - no passion, commitment or deadlines all the
projects overshot the time line and the costing also went up every year and the end
result is far from satisfactory.I still remember the News Channels singing paens of our
DRDO's defense project and even now there is a news channel - 24 x 7 which mostly takes
up defense projects as special program's at peak hour in the evening and makes big
claims. So whom are we fooling? Public, our neighbors, opposition..???This is also the
reason why we are lagging behind even other third world neighboring countries and we are
more in the habit of making tall claims and talk big.Regards,Stephen NarayananFreelance

Buddhist CollegeNEW DELHI: China has scored a major victory in soft power diplomacy by
quietly launching its own Nalanda University while the original Nalanda campus in Bihar,
planned almost a decade ago, is still stuck with 455-acre dead space.China's education
ministry had managed to keep the plan a secret till a few weeks ago when it formally
announced the enrolment for Nanhai Buddhist College in Hainan province in May. The first
batch is set to take off from September with a strength of 220 students to occupy the
vacant Buddhist diplomacy space. Nalanda in 2014 had started with just 14 students and 11
teachers. Sources said the secrecy is baffling since China was part of the global team,
which first promoted the idea of reconstructing Nalanda University in the ancient Indian
city in 2006.Nalanda was hit by the careless approach of its mentors, including Nobel
laureate Amartya Sen and his team, since the beginning of 2007 when the Manmohan Singh
government appointed them to work out the plan for the institution."In 2011, China had
given a million-dollar cheque as donation for reconstruction of Nalanda. It appears now
that Chinese were working in parallel to create the Buddhist university. Such sprawling
campus cannot be built in one or two years. They must have started construction in 2012,"
sources said.The Chinese Nalanda version is a sea-facing structure located on scenic
Nanshan Mountains spread across 618.8 acres. Chinese have rechristened the university's
coastline as "Brahma Pure Land", a concept borrowed from 'Yoga Vashistha' and Mahayana
Buddhism. The Chinese Nalanda will offer courses in three languages—Pali, Tibetan and
Chinese in six departments—Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, and the Buddhist Architectural
Design and Research Institute.The Chinese Buddhist university is closely linked to the
Buddhist centres in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Cambodia, which is seen as an attempt
to completely sideline the Indian side in soft power diplomacy. The China has appointed
monk Yin Shun as the dean of the university, who is interestingly abbot of Lumbini-based
Zhong Hua Buddhist temple. Lumbini is the birthplace of Buddha, and China has been
aggressively pushing to promote Nepalese pilgrimage site to counter India's Sarnath and
Bodhgaya, where Gautama Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment. Since early 2010,
Yin Shun has been advocating "the South China Sea Strategy" and had closely worked with
Thailand and Nepal to create Buddhist 'One Belt and One Road' (OBOR).It is a known factthat India recently boycotted China's high-profile economic design flagging sovereignty
concerns over China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which passes through Pakistan-
occupied Kashmir (PoK). The plan, according to sources, is to link Lumbini, Wuxi and
Hainan through Buddhist OBOR, usurping Buddhist legacy of India. Wuxi, near Shanghai, has
been turned into permanent venue of world Buddhist forum by the Chinese government.
According to sources, students as far as South American countries are applying to the
Chinese university, which, along with knowledge, promises to provide best air and
seawater quality in entire South Asia.__._,_.___--
