It will increase the Intellectual capital.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are the challenges in achieving the NRF\u2019s aim?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A significant problem faced by scientists is that even after scientific projects are reviewed and sanctioned, fund-release is not timely or adequate. Therefore, fund-release must be thoroughly investigated and correctional steps must be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>it is important to ensure that basic research and small-scale research proposals are not ignored.<\/p>\n<p>Merger of government science institutions under an umbrella may promote crucially important interdisciplinary research.
