The experiments and failures of today will solve the problems of tomorrow. The more attention we will pay towards research, the better it will be for us all. Research activities are a very important yardstick for determining if the university is doing good or not academically. Any university that is not active in research is probably lagging behind with a gap of 5-10 years from a university that is active. According to the QS World University Rankings, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ranks number one when it comes to research activities with an annual expenditure of 762 million dollars in research followed by Oxford University with an annual expenditure of 72 million dollars. Of Course it is not rational to compare the universities of a developing or underdeveloped country with a developed country but it's needless to say that research quality is much higher in developed countries. Underdeveloped countries often remain ignorant to research and that is the reason why so many of their students migrate. It is very crucial for universities to understand the importance of research not only for the good of the future generation but for the present as well.
