Modern India has had a strong focus on science and technology. as it plays a vital role in the economy. India is among the top countries globally in the field of Scientific Research. The government has introduced multiple policies aimed at projecting India as a science and technology development country by promoting both the public and private sectors. As a result, India's gross expenditure on R&D(GERD) has been consistently increasing over years. India logs the highest number of digital payments and has left china and advanced countries far behind. Citizens and small businesses increasingly appreciate the benefits of digital Technologies. which are becoming more affordable. India, as a pharmacy of the world, has produced cheap generic medicines for decades and supplied them in domestic or international markets.
Areas of Development
Let us now discuss the different areas which undergo development with the advancement in Science and Technology −
Higher education
Scientific research and development
Technological development
Advancement of agricultural system
Development of space science and technology
Development of medical science and technology
Development of infrastructure
Information and communication technology
Development of various fields of engineering (including software, chemical, mechanical, civil, electrical, electronic, etc.)
Likewise, India has strong scientific and technological base that spreads across the country in the form of academic institutions, research and development laboratories, advanced medical center (with research facilities), experimental centers, and different advanced industries.
Areas of Development
Because of the development in all spheres of Science and technology, today, India is unquestionably a leading developing country in the world.
Science & Technology and Industry in India
Over the recent past, Science and Technology has made tremendous contribution towards the settlement of industries in India.
Starting from the micro level to the macro level, research and development in the field of technology has created an ideal niche for the overall growth of the economic condition of the country. The perceptible examples are the development of Atomic Energy, Space Science, dozens of successful satellite systems, advanced medical technologies, etc.
After the independence, it was not possible for India to depend on other countries for various aspects of development; therefore, the development of indigenous technology was indispensable for the overall development of a country.
Thankfully, today, Indian technologies and companies are as competent as in other developed countries. India is also a lead in various fields, and is a tough competitor for other countries.
If we discuss about the skilled human resources, many Indians are at top-notch positions in leading companies.
Indian industries started flourishing post 1990, i.e., the landmark era. Globalization, liberalization, and privatization, facilitated this growth. The industries catering to Information & Technology, Atomic Energy, Automotive, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, Pharmaceutical, Petroleum, etc. have increased at global level.
On the other hand, the Government of India has also made sizable investment in the field of research and development to encourage the advancement of Indian economy.
For consistent and efficient growth, various initiatives have been taken by establishing the following organizations −
Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) center
Department of Science and Technology (DST)
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMA)
Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES)
Central Drug Research Institute
Centre for the Study of Developing Societies
Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute
Central Food Technological Research Institute
Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CGCRI)
Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering
Central Institute of Brackish Water Aquaculture
Central Soil Salinity Research Institute
Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST)
Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR)
Institute of Economic Growth
Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB)
National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology (NIELIT)
National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research
National Institute of Oceanography (NIO)
Likewise, there are dozens of other such scientific research centers, which have been set up for the overall economic growth of the country.
