India lacks competent mathematicians: PM

On second thoughts, I feel India lacks competent anybody in any field. We don't traditionally have a culture which promotes passion for any area. So while we develop capabilities, we don't develop competencies that are world class, although our education system does great job in imparting what is sought. If there is passion, one would never have dearth of resources, support or prospects.

So, how can we create an ecosystem that promotes passion in individuals for their areas of interest? What fundamental changes do we need to make in our society, institutions, beliefs and values?
