A different ministry
The Ministry of Science and Technology is an applied ministry which deals with so many applied subjects like biotechnology, R and D research project, fellowship and funding to the researchers who are engaged in short and long term research, fellowship to the masters and doctoral students, especially with science background in different universities, different type of prestigious scholarship offered by different countries etc. Two national institutes like Bangabandhu Novo theatre, National Institute of Biotechnology are under this ministry.
In future its activities will reflect our adaptation of modern science and technology. Therefore this ministry needs specialized people who will handle the vast area. The bureaucrats who are apt in file work cannot make this ministry dynamic.
Therefore, I would request our government to appoint famous scientists for this special ministry, instead of officials with administrative background alone. After all, this ministry is a special one.
