People like you are outright hindrance to science and progress. We do not need to do serial problem solving, it can go on parallely. But please let Indian students relish good science. They deserve it. Good, you are not deciding any budget for these matters. Let's see the disparity:
NREGA (Solving indian poverty) budget: Rs. 4, 000 Billion
ISRO budget : Rs. 56 Billion (0.3% of Indian Budget)
Indian Budget: Rs. 17, 000 Billion
India has lot of other problems to solve. Yes. But this news is about Indian science, and let's keep it so. Let's not take away from the scientists who are delivering good value on budget. There are platforms to vent your opinions, but this one is not the one.
If it was not for ISRO who launched INSAT 3D, cyclone phailin would have had a devastating effect. How will this help India? Indian science is progressing. Indian scientists are taking ambitious missions. It will help propel more people into these fields. Technologies do not exist in vacuum and have derivative uses.
Exactly. No reason progress on both ends can't be parallelized. Also most of the time progress in science and technology leads to alleviation of poverty. It is seldom the other way around.
