India ranks third among the most attractive investment destinations for technology transactions in the world. Dr Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister of Department of Science & Technology, has reiterated that technology is a strong priority area for the government and it aims to make people science-centric. Modern India has had a strong focus on science and technology, realising that it is a key element of economic growth. India is among the topmost countries in the world in the field of scientific research, positioned as one of the top five nations in the field of space exploration. The country has regularly undertaken space missions, including missions to the moon and the famed Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).
Market size
India ranks 6th position for scientific publications and ranks at 10th for patents which included only resident applications.* The number of patent applications filed by the Indian scientists and inventors increased to 47,857 in FY18 from 46,904 in FY16. India ranks 13th position at the Nature Index in 2017, based on counts of high-quality research outputs in natural sciences.
Developments/Investments:
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.
Achievements
Following are the achievements of the government in the past four years:
The first national state-of-the-art cGMP facility for production of herbal preparations was established in CSIR-IIIM. It has production capacity of 30,000 tablets and capsules per hour and 500 litres of liquid per batch.
DBT launched the DBT-BUILDER (Boost to University Interdisciplinary Departments of Life Sciences for Education and Research) scheme to boost advanced education and promotion of interdisciplinary research and technology development.
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) launched 30 skill/training programmes in the areas of: leather processing; paints and coatings; electroplating and metal finishing; industrial maintenance engineering; bioinformatics; mechatronics; glass beaded jewellery, etc.
The fellowships/schemes awarded/sanctioned during last 4 years (2014-15 to 2017-18) include:
CSIR Junior Research Fellowship (JRF)and National Eligibility Test (NET): 10,687
Senior Research Fellowship (SRF)-Direct: 1792
Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Fellowship (SPMF): 158
CSIR JRF-GATE (for Engineering & Pharmaceutical Sciences): 116
