Technology is A Must For The progress Of A Country
Bill Nye, a great American engineer has wisely said, ‘Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.’ Self reliance in science and technology is the first prerequisite for national progress and development. Without it no nation can dream of prosperity and freedom. And self reliance in science and technology is impossible without the scientific attitude. For example, American F 35 is a 5th Generation Fighter Jet with stealth features, it is a leader in the sky because of its advanced technology. No nation can dare to think of getting engaged in military conflict with it.
Countries such as USA, Russia, France, UK, Israel, China, South Korea, Japan, etc. are advanced by virtue of their advancement in the science and technology. Hence the more a nation is advanced technologically the more say it has in the world affairs. The above mentioned countries have developed such sophisticated machines and technology that they can do almost anything. These countries have made state-of-the-art weapons, surveillance, situational monitoring devices that they are always ready to tackle any emergencies in advance. Similarly, they have made unprecedented advances in education, medicines, energy creation, vehicles manufacturing, computers, IT world, research, etc. All these achievements would not have been possible if the people of these countries would not have nurtured scientific attitude.
They are selling the most advanced machines, tools, expertise, and services to the less developed countries at a whopping price, thus strengthening the economies of their countries further. India is the new entrant in this sphere. India has shown phenomenal success in science and technology recently. The notable organizations that have contributed to scientific and technological development are: ISRO, DRDO, ADA, BHEL BDL, etc. India has stunned the world in its expertise in producing sophisticated weapons for self defense such as Akash, Prithivi, Agni, LCA, BDM system, Tejas, Rohini radar, etc.
ISRO has earned the nation huge profit by launching satellites into the space for foreign countries. Indian doctors, engineers, scientists are in great demand the world over. So, we see scientific and technological development is a kind of index for national development and prosperity.
In conclusion it can be said that if India has to achieve further higher levels of advancement in all the spheres, it is possible through science only. People of India must adopt scientific outlook to each and every challenge country is facing; and through sheer science mixed with high values must find solutions to these challenges.
