The second issue of Chetana is in your hands. This proves that we are not stagnant. This attempt to rekindle the urge in my colleagues to pursue research has been partly successful.
It is my desire that all researchers should have "academic arrogance", atleast in their areas of research.
Probably from the next issue onwards, which will be in October 2001, we would invite research articles from scholars in other institutions in Goa.
Chetana aims at qualitative research from the contributors, which would have its own place in the present explosion of information.
I once again thank Shri Ramnath G. Kare, president, Vidya Vikas Mandal, and all the members of the Board of Management for their continuous support to this academic effort.
Mrs. Prita D. Mallya and her team are responsible for bringing out this issue on time. I sincerely thank them for the effort they have put in.
