In
order to emphasize our demand for establishing
an Indian Institute of Science Education and
Research (IISER) in Bihar, media should give
proper attention. Only media can help in
creating mass awareness and seriousness. I think
the matter is lacking wide coverage and mass
support. The repeated recommendations by hon'ble
president and contradictory reply by the central
government　on the matter have induced
thinking that after giving IIT center is not
going to entertain matter of IISER with
priority. However, both types of institutes are
needed in Bihar to upgrade and stabilize
existing higher education system. It's sure that
someday IISER or equivalent will come to Bihar
but why not today? Why does central government
is ignoring prescriptions of Hon'ble President
and why does our political system is failing to
counteract? I hope journalists can better help
to answer such questions. We need to keep candle
lighting and one of the most effective ways is
to sustain with demands with larger force. The
journalists from Bihar can help in much better
way. The might of media is tremendous; that's
why it has been said that
KHEENCHO NA KAMANO, NA TALWAR NIKALO
JAB TOPA MUQAVIL HO TO AKHABAR NIKALO
Our journalists can stimulate our political
system from very close by exchanging opinion of
government, our MP's, central ministers and
other prominent figures whose active support can
make significant changes. It will be great if
some local correspondents come forward on this
mission. Many of the influential figures from
state are in the capacity to bring an IISER in
Bihar but we need to activate them repeatedly.
Till today, one of the central ministers and an
MP from Bihar; have given active support to
matter and have raised the issue but what about
the opinion of the rest. Such explorations in
the interest of Bihar can be easily done by our
journalists. It will be highly helpful if some
one can procure list of accredited journalists,
with addresses (preferably e-mail addresses),
from Bihar. I hope Patna Daily can do something
in this direction as PD it has been covering the
related matters with priority.

Note from the editor: PatnaDaily
does not publish email addresses of
people without their prior
permission. We have had this problem
before when we published someone's
email address and then later got
slammed for sending spammers into
their mail box. Mr. Mishra, with all
good intentions, had provided the
email addresses of the leaders he
mentions above but we chose not to
publish them. Please go to the web
site mentioned by Mr. Mishra to
obtain relevant email addresses.
Thank you.
This is not only the issue of
highlighting this matter to media to
bring govt into action, this is also
matter of grave concern that why
after repeated mentioning by HE
president of India for need of
Indian Institute of Science
Education and Research, (IISER) in
Bihar in the joint session of
Parliament in Patna as well as
recently held Global Bihar Meet (See
text of his speech in Education and
entrepreneurship section of Mission
of Bihar:
http://presidentofindia.nic.in/scripts/eventslatest1.jsp?id=1423)
neither govt of Bihar nor any
politicians of Bihar has come into
action. The pity is that they even
don't know about IISER. This we have
felt while working with govt for the
demand of IISER in Bihar since a
year.
Though we as a team of BiharBrains
have been successful in talking with
DY CM just before Global Meet over
this issue and in near future we are
going to have meeting with CM and
HRD Ministers of India, we do feel
that unless all section of the
society comprising Educated class,
(scientists, professors),
politicians, administrators ,
students raise this issue to bring
into notice of Hon'ble Prime
Minister of Inda, it will be futile
attempt.
We should understand that only IIT
in Bihar will not serve the purpose;
the establishment of IISER will help
in creating research environment in
the state in the field of all
streams of sciences. This institute
has great potential in bringing
research environment on track and
also this will be perhaps the first
research institute of its kind in
the field of science for the state
of Bihar.
We are in the need of starting a
campaign by all political parties on
the demand of IISER in Bihar. I do
hope all citizens of Bihar will help
in this. I do hope all MPs of Bihar
will sign over it and then in a team
of MPS We can have meeting with
Hon'ble Prime minister of India.
I do request all PD writers to join
hands with us for this noble cause.

demand for IISER in Bihar, please go
