This is a disappointing answer. While the Ministry's response merely provides a broad overview of the existing UGC fellowship framework, it fails to address the core concerns raised. Instead of furnishing the requested year-wise data on UGC-NET qualifiers and JRF awardees, it relies on a general description of the existing scheme and alternative sources of research funding.
The reply also sidesteps the question of whether the Government has examined the widening gap between qualified candidates and available fellowships or whether it intends to expand JRFs or revise the eligibility criteria. Most notably, it remains silent on revising the Rs. 8,000 UGC Non-NET Fellowship stipend—unchanged since 2006 despite periodic revisions being the norm.
I also raised this issue through my Zero Hour intervention in 2023, yet the Government continues to offer neither a commitment nor a timeline for its revision.
Beyond financial support, there is also a pressing need to strengthen institutional research infrastructure, ensure adequate academic supervision, establish effective grievance redressal mechanisms, and undertake a comprehensive review of research fellowship support so that India's research ecosystem keeps pace with the aspirations of its scholars.

This is the same gentleman who coined the term ‘cockroach’ for youth. Now he does not have time to see the video of protest.
By the way he is custodian of Constitution and CJI of indian republic.

What a logic…? Really
Everyone should hear what this NEET topper has to say.
“𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭? 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝, 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞, 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞.”
While many were trying to benefit politically from the protests in the name of NEET, the actual students are celebrating their results.
The nation can see through the political propaganda.

A timely and honest assessment of India’s research gap—underscoring the urgency of funding, industry-led R&D, and academic reform.
@ShashiTharoor @ANRFIndia
In @the_hindu today, I analyse India’s research deficit, call for a transformation of approach and urge the private sector to play a bigger part in research and development, instead of leaving everything to the government and the public sector:

Are most NPDF fellows, who got selected, already working for their Post-Doc? What's the point of giving a post-doc fellowship to someone already working as a post-doc somewhere?
