The Role of IRPC

The IRPC has taken up the cause of promotion of research activities in the developed world and stands to play a pivotal role in countering the research problems in developing world by its active involvement.

The involvement is in:

1. Coordinating research projects on relevant problems in the developing and under developed countries.
2. Coordinating the activities of various agencies and the governments for the production and prompt distribution of research materials.
3. Coordinating the establishment of specialized instrumentation centers with financial aid from the developed economies.
4. A united forum-World Scientists Forum-constituted by scientists from developed and developing countries will be formed for interaction, co-operation and mutual assistance in all matters connected with research in science and medicine, beyond the socio cultural periphery

 Penetrative Roles of IRPC

Researches in developing economies-Why are they behind?
Research in the developing economies, falls back nearly by ten years in most areas of science and health when compared to that of developed countries. While research is the backbone of science, compared to that of developed economies advancements in areas relevant to a specific country, developing or underdeveloped countries have provided it a very low priority. In the developing countries, the major obstacles facing research are:

1. Paucity of funds and faulty channelisation of available funds.
2. Lack of production and availability of research materials such as quality controlled reagents and chemicals.
3. The delay in getting research materials manufactured in developed countries through import.
4. Difficulties encountered in accessing required equipments and absence of custom analysis centers.
5. Lack of encouragement and financial support from the parent institution.
6. Non-availability or networking of up-to-date information.
7. Lack of advanced training to scientists
8. Lack of financial support to attend conferences, seminars, and workshops and training programs etc.- a very serious handicap of the scientists from developing countries.
9. Lack of acceptance and recognition.
10. Poverty and illiteracy of the population
11. Lack of proper transfer of technology by advanced training of scientist in major institutions, and exchange programs in institutions where related research activities have been conducted successfully with more advanced facilities
12. Lack of job security of the scientists
13. Other facts such as the unscientific approaches towards research by the government agencies, untimely release of funds for sanctioned and ongoing projects, erratic power supply and poor working conditions etc
14. Lack of research and development tie-ups and activities with industries
15. Lack of proper planning
