At a recent luncheon with Dr. Cohen, I was able to discuss his outlook upon the further of India and its dilemma. Dr. Cohen informed me that India already has a solution to its problems, which is educating its people. In a recent study the state of Kerala in southern India has had a increase in literacy level among the overall population and especially among the women, which has significantly slowed the birth rate. This decline in birth rate is considered to be the result of these educated women entering the workplace and as a result, they are getting married at a later time in their lives and also having less children because of time restrains due to their jobs. This my friends makes India a great example of global sustainability for the further and provides us with what might be the outcome of the world if the current problems are not dealt with by the world as a community.
Indian scientists are at a disadvantage in working with simpler instruments for their research.
But, India with its growing numbers of trained men and women could be a considerable advantage and make significant contributions worthy of it s nations past statues, if our scientific community purposefully addresses the challenge of working together to solve the worlds problems.
