Science was at the helm of affairs in our country (India) at some point of past time. History says so. But today it is not in the main steam. At best, Indian scientists repeat what has already happened, but they claim: 'we are also that exclusive club ' !. So people do not bother. The final result is that we are going back to older days!! Superstitions, fight between communities, urge to grab what is available, etc. What is the solution?
Doesn't science enrich society by illustrating for society that most understanding is about events that are "probabilistic in nature."

Science has revealed a diversity of relations between features and events in nature & within us. All these relations must have their ultimate meaning in God.
Science has contributed the positive side and has helped to conceive better judgments about value.
People who travel becomes much broader minded.
Science builds a sense of global brotherhood which has also lead to the opening of new horizons.
Science seeks to aid religious leaders in their conversations with their congregants who have questions and concerns when it comes to certain advancements in science and to build on community interest in and enthusiasm for science.
Hi Dr. Menon, (Sorry, cannot find your name). So, we in Ukraine have the same problems in science and education that is closely connected with degradation of society. Efforts to provide western values actually leads to losing of traditional culture and appearance of a "new" generation of pseudo-scientists that only imitate some scientific activity to occupy good social position and to integrate into general scheme of state corruption in education and science. So, I even prepare a project about degradation of any principles and simple moral of e.g. biological faculty of UZHGOROD NATIONAL University. I'm publishing the facts and materials in Ukrainian as I'm really ashamed of what happening with my country but what can you say if a dean of biological faculty (!) has no any paper in the SJR-SCOPUS rank journals? Or professors of this faculty that nobody even eared about them in Europe? Post graduates that peaking and publishing results from their chiefs? Preparing diplomas for students for money bribing (and what about exams)?
Some of such professors didn’t make any experiment during last 20 years or even not participated one expedition. But what is the university that doesn’t support financially investigations and expeditions and where scientific advisors of post-graduates didn’t publish a single paper in SJR class journals? So, the name of it is GENERAL DEGRADATION. Moreover - these primitives are trying to destroy every normal scientist that shows their irresponsibility.
But simple peasant doesn’t differ professors and he is thinking that all lectures at the university are corrupted and bribers!
I hope that situation in your country is not worse... But anyway I see some bad signals over the RG as well.
So, first should clean the science from different fakers by improving precise criterions of possibility to occupy important position and to have mechanisms to follow the procedure. LIKE IN UKRAINIAN POLICE NOW WHEN YOU WILL PROPOSE BRIBE WILL BE WARNING IMMEDIATELY OR EVEN ARRESTED!
But returning for yours question. What can we do now is an example of our activity! I'm partially living now in the mountainous village in the Carpathians. I built their solar green tariff station on my roof! So, it is good example for locals how to act. It is the National Park area, and sometimes appear venomous snakes, so I'm catching them and move it into the forest... EXAMPLES. The only way.
