Too many of our National Laboratories have been established by deciding upon the field in which it was desired to work and by drawing up an organisational chart on the pattern of some corresponding large laboratory abroad. Homi J. Bhabha

This is a field in which a large number of mediocre or second rate workers cannot make up for a few outstanding ones, and the few outstanding ones always take at least 10-15 years to grow. Homi J. Bhabha

It is neither possible nor desirable to separate nuclear physics from cosmic rays since the two are closely connected theoretically. Homi J. Bhabha

The subjects on which research and advanced teaching would be done would be theoretical physics, especially on fundamental problems and with special reference to cosmic rays and nuclear physics, and experimental research on cosmic rays. Homi J. Bhabha

I do not think that anyone acquainted with scientific development in other countries would deny the need in India for such a school as I propose. Homi J. Bhabha

Moreover, when nuclear energy has been successfully applied for power production in say a couple of decades from now, India will not have to look abroad for its experts but will find them ready at hand. Homi J. Bhabha

If much of the applied research done in India today is disappointing or of very inferior quality it is entirely due to the absence of sufficient number of outstanding pure research workers who would set the standard of good research. Homi J. Bhabha

There are, however, scattered all over India competent workers who are not doing as good work as they would do if brought together in one place under proper direction. Homi J. Bhabha

For, each man can do best and excel in only that thing of which he is passionately fond, in which he believes, as I do, that he has the ability to do it, that he is in fact born and destined to do it. Homi J. Bhabha

I am burning with a desire to do physics. I will and must do it sometime. It is my only ambition. I have no desire to be a "successful" man or the head of a big firm. There are intelligent people who like that and let them do it. Homi J. Bhabha
