Former CSIR chief Dr. R A Mashelkar was in Ahmedabad. Among his different engagements was Convocation of Gujarat University. In his characteristic style he talked about the problem of India. He thinks that the basic problem of India is battle between mind and mindset. We are a quite smart mind , but our mindset is quite highly individualistic to the level of destroying creations of others.
He further explains his idea saying that someone said that people of Japan make one plus one 11 while in our country two persons coming together neutralise each other's effect. What we need is to develop the Team India spirit. We must think in terms of a team.This not only brings out our excellence but also leads country ahead towards the front row of world leader countries. He aptly explains his idea through a concrete contemporary example of Tata Nano.
He says that a great Indian Mind produced a car which has brought striking change in the auto industry. However, a negative mindset of Singur created all problems in setting up of a plant in Bengal. Gujarat with a positive Sanand mindset offered red carpet welcome to the innovative automobile project. And the state has the project.
For this mindset you need open mind. So have open mind and positive mindset, This was the essence of his success recipe to students of Gujarat University.
