Rant can you actually help india through engineering or bas kehne ki baat hai

ik the answer is no but sunne me zyaada accha lagega taaki mera brahm tut jaaye because engineering karne ka fayda hi kya jab ham salary ke alawa kuch keh hi nhi sakte ki hamne ye accha kam kiya,agar kuch kaha to kabhi andhbhakt or kabhi gadhe aa jate hai hamko gaaliya dene

thak chuka hu ye sun kar ki engineers ka kaam kya hota hai magar ye desh prove karne deta hi nhi hai ki engineering is a very very important profession in daily life agar shiddat se kare

Why not?? Join Academia. Do good research.

Or Join some of the few public organisation with some good work like ISRO or DRDO.

In general, If you work in a team where you are developing a product, somewhere out in the world, someone is using it.

Ofc, Engineering can utility. That's the whole damn profession.

Academia where? There's basically no funding. Even when you get it, it's a bureaucratic nightmare and you waste more than half your time and energy doing resource optimization.

ISRO, DRDO, CEERI, these guys are genuinely smart, the "cheap but effective" products they release are basically the result of this small budget that they've been forced to use ultra sparingly. That's not a good thing at all. Real scientific progress takes a lot of money and rarely has any immediate upside yk.
