150 RPs (In Response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Call)
Purpose
To publish 150 quality research papers on diverse subjects in the light of Sri Aurobindo by way of response to a call by Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Explanation
On Sri Aurobindo’s 150th birth anniversary in 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi constituted some a 50-members high level committee to celebrate the special occasion. While launching it virtually from his office, prime minster, in his commendable speech, put forth the sweet idea of having 150 fresh research papers on various aspects of Sri Aurobindo studies. That idea, to the best of my knowledge, is yet to be taken off and materialised. To materialised it is the purpose of 150 RPs. To this end, Aryadeep Vision Foundation, in cooperation with a few students of Sri Aurobindo, will do three things. One, create a list of topics / subjects on which a research paper can be written or needs to written; two, identify the individuals who, then can be invited to contribute their papers; three, send out an open invitation to academic and research institutions.
It goes without saying that appropriate assistance such as research guide or adviser, research material etc. will be provided to individuals who need these. Also, incentives such as travel to and specific duration accommodation in Auroville or the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry or monetary rewards, gifting of the books of one’s choice etc. may be offered to individuals who complete the assignments.
Present status
Just an idea and dream of Aryadeep S. Acharya
