India's analytics industry is expected to touch US$ 16 billion by 2025 from the current US$ 2 billion, as per the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom).
With support from the government, considerable investment and development has incurred in different sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, space research, and nuclear power through scientific research. For instance, India is gradually becoming self-reliant in nuclear technology. Recently, the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project Unit-1 (KKNPP 1) with 1,000 MW capacity was commissioned, while the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project Unit-2 (KKNPP-2) with 1,000 MW capacity is under commissioning.
Recent developments
Some of the recent developments in the field of science and technology in India are as follows
The Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C35 (PSLV-C35) has successfully placed eight different satellites in a single rocket mission, including SCATSAT-1 for weather related studies, five foreign satellites and two satellites from Indian academic institutes into orbit.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has announced a research and development (R&D) initiative to develop next generation sustainable refrigerant technologies as alternatives to the currently used refrigerant gases like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), in order to mitigate its impact on the ozone layer and climate.
The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle-F05 (GSLV) successfully launched India's weather satellite INSAT-3DR into space, which will provide meteorological services and assist search and rescue operations of security agencies including all defence forces, the coast guard, and in shipping industry.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to partner with private firms to jointly build a navigation satellite that it would launch by March 2017, which would allow the space agency to free its resources to focus on research and deep space missions.
Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT-Kharagpur) and National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for research project to develop technology to construct maintenance free highways in India.
Intertek Group, a UK-based total quality assurance provider, has launched an Agricultural Technology (Agritech) laboratory in Hyderabad, which will perform high-tech Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) analyses for the agri-biotech, plant seeds breeding, and plant seeds production industries.
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has discovered a breed of natural cures for cancer in Quercetin, a compound found in fruits and leaves, and plant VernoniaCondensata, which can significantly reduce the tumour size and increase the longevity of life.
Science and technology
Science and technology are the two most important part of our living life. Science and technology have made our life so easy and luxurious. Everything which we see around us is a part of science. Gadgets, clocks, light bulbs, Mobiles, computers, Tables, Chairs, Paper, Pen and many infinity things are part of technology and science.
This all things and objects are all gift of science. By using this all things, we are today living a luxurious life. The world without science and with science... - Best example for this is ancient period of world and today's world. In the periods of ancient, there were no science and no technologies and hence, there were no technological advances and boring life in that period. Today, in this age of science and technology, we are happy with the gift given by science.
Role of science and technology in human life/advantages:
Science and technology are always getting developed day by day and due to this the world is becoming advanced and advanced so far. Science plays very important role in the life of humans. Not only humans but also all other living creatures are living in this technological world.
When we wake up in the morning by Alarm clock to when we go to bed and turn of lights. Our every activity have science. A life without science and technology can't be even imagined by today's person. Every gadget which we use is a gift of science.
Benefits of Science and technology:
Science is not just important for all our daily activities of our home. Science and technology are very useful for every factor. Today, Medical science have treatment for every disease and due to which, Humans are diseases free ; Computers ! Computers have made our life so easy and we can use them to store our information and data.
Transportation is also a important invention by science. With the help of Airplanes, today we can travel all over the world ; Internet.... Today, we can get know about anything, any person, any place in a bit of second through internet.
Mobile communication is also a very great gift by science. With the help of mobiles and phones, today we can contact with any person in this world. Today, every person in this world have it's own digital identity ; Morning newspapers ! This is also a gift of science only. We can get know about the all activities and events happened last day/month through a piece of paper.
Science and technology had also helped humans to look further from our planet earth. With the help of science and technology, today are trying to do as possible as space research.
And, Food and cropping is also a very huge discovery by man. Because of Agriculture and cropping, today we can eat good food today. Otherwise, we will have to eat all that fruits and meats of animals. Talking about the Benefits of science and technology, it will take a year to complete the all benefits of science and technology.
Progress in science and technology:
Everyday, science and technology are upgraded. Millions of scientists work together to explore the every matter in this universe. Lots of researches and experiments are conducted by scientists daily to make life easy as possible. Millions of new discoveries and inventions are done to bring out changes in science.
Science is changing very rapidly and it's very much hard to say about the future of the world. Humans are doing various researches in scientific fields to bring out advances in the next generation of humans.
Disadvantages of science:
As there are some weak points about everything, science too have some it's disadvantages. As science had made our life easier... But, what about the Nature and Environment ?
- Plastic: This is one of the most dangerous invention of mankind. After the invention of plastic, everyone started using the plastic and today we can see the results. Because of plastic use, this world is getting affected day by day.
- Mobile phones and internet: Internet and mobile phones have made our life much easier, but due to excessive use of mobile phones we may have diseases like Brain tumor, Neck and back problems, eyes problems and due to improper use of internet, there are chances to spread about the uncensored content, drugs selling and many illegal activities.
- Defensive bomb: Bomb had been created by humans for their own protection. But today, we are in fear with it. And, it can do anything that can harmful to mankind.
Branches of science:
- Physical science (Study about the physical quantities)
- Earth science (Study related to different factors of earth.
- Chemical science (Study related to different chemical reactions in nature).
- Biology (Study of life and biological processes in living beings)
- Astronomy (Study relates to stars, galaxies of space and universe)
Science can be also defined as "A branch of knowledge for the study of various facts and truths and arranging them systematically is called as science".
