things we are hearing from some of these journalists, reporters or news anchors. When I tried to do some research it on the internet, the first thing I wanted to know is what is the budget of such a big project and simply surfing on internet I got a wiki page where it was written-

182-meter statue and many more glorious things we are hearing from some of these journalists, reporters or news anchors. When I tried to do some research it on the internet, the first thing I wanted to know is what is the budget of such a big project and simply surfing on internet I got a wiki page where it was written-

3 billion or 300 crores ... Cool 😞

Next thing I wanted to know is how much money is our government investing in research field because I am a science student and you can also do it as per your area of interest. I can definitely say you will not be able to relate it with a statue. Well, to be honest, it was difficult to find any exact numbers on the internet. But we don't need your fake data either. We just simply know a student doing research in science gets only 25 thousand per month from which he has to pay his hostel rent, mess charges, academic fee, and many more things. There is a fine for not submitting your college fee on time but there is no such thing when a student does not get his fellowship on time for months.

There were big announcements of students getting PM fellowship and 70 thousand per month. But all these things are like online cashback offers which come with lots of terms and conditions and students still prefer to go abroad for research. And the students who are here, are still agitating for a hike in fellowship. When PM makes an announcement for a hypothetical fellowship for research students, it is the headline story of media and when the same students are doing strikes, nobody is there to properly cover them.

You call it "Statue of Unity" it is just a "Statue of selfie" nobody gets united from it except your GUJARAT's Patel community.

We are students, especially science students, we don't want to be a part of politics. We are supposed to do some other works for the betterment of society. But we feel very sad and shameful when our tax money is wasted like that and we are still suffering. Do your Congress vs BJP, Hindu vs Muslim and some other fake topic debates, but please don't waste our money for your fake glory.

We want a safe and healthy working environment where we are paid an adequate amount of money on time and there are some jobs after we complete our studies. There is still a lack of teachers in schools & colleges and there are still unemployed students. We choose the government for bridging these gaps not for changing names of cities and places. Yes, this is a very boring debate, please do your Congress vs BJP and India vs Pakistan, but please don't waste our money.
