This long pending demand was a dream for Bihar and that dream has come true today.
I heartly appreciate the present govt at Delhi and Patna both for this success. I do hope, IIT at Patna will show model to the world in the field of science and technology education and research.
Now we will have to intensify our demand for IISER in Bihar. Because of our effort, Hon'ble CM write letter of Hon'ble PM a year back but since then it seems there is no response from either side. Getting IISER in Bihar needs political approach and lobbying and now time has come to start this work. The present Bihar govt also should understand that only getting IIT is not sufficient.As far as Reseach & Development in all fields of science and technology is concerned, IISER has better focus than IIT. To bring R&D environment on track in the state, the establishment of IISER is neccessary.
