An Expedition from ‘Time-Pass Research’ to Innovative Research

Human society is under severe threat from the problems triggered by natural as well as human-mediated activities. Providing solutions to these emerging problems by the conventional way of thinking is largely insufficient to meet these challenges. Therefore, innovative research is mandatory to efficiently tackle them. The problems faced by developing countries, particularly India, are different from those of the developed nations. At this juncture, it is highly expected from Indian researches to find suitable solutions through innovative research.
