Indian Government launched EChO network to support inter-disciplinary skills

In an attempt to encourage cross-disciplinary leadership, Indian government has launched EChO network. The network will provide template for cross-disciplinary leadership in India. The main focus of the network will be to push research,knowledge and awareness of Indian ecology and environment. The network was launched by Prof. K Vijay Raghavan, the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, in New Delhi. Prof. Said that despite all the efforts, India still lacks trained scientists with interdisciplinary skills and collaborative mind-set. He said there is a need to train students to identify and solve the problems in an interdisciplinary manner. “I am convinced this network will inspire an entirely new approach to Indian education and exploration necessary for the post-technological world,” said Prof. Vijay Raghavan.EChO network will develop a national network for new generation of Indians who can synthesize cross-disciplinary concepts to tackle real-world problems in medicine, agriculture, ecology and technology. It is first of a kind network which will change how science is embedded in our society.
