Dr.J.C.BOSE |
|
A New Temple
Bose had worked all along without
the right Wind of scientific instruments and laboratory. For a long time he had been
thinking of building a laboratory. The result was the 'Bose Research Institute' which is
in Calcutta. Even now it is famous as a centre of research. Bose had been collecting funds
for this Institute for quite some time. More than sixty-five years ago, he had realized
the importance of a research institution in India. While inaugurating the Bose Research
Institute he said, "This is not a laboratory but a temple." Such was his
devotion to work. He felt everybody must have the same enthusiasm for research in a
country. In the Bose Research Institute research is conducted in Botany and Physics - the
two branches of science in which Bose had won fame.
He worked in this laboratory for 20 years, up to the very end of his
life. We should not depend on others to do our work, we ourselves must do our work; but
before we can do this we must get over our pride - this was his firm belief. He confessed
that he had learnt this lesson from his parents.
