The advances in the field of science and technology in India today is enviable. The architect had a vision of Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru not only of scientists and laboratories, but wider horizons and social importance of unity within the community of scientists and scientific needs of the community and processing functions of science in society.
We focused on the development of science and technology as a central instrument for achieving national goals of autonomy and socio-economic progress. Scientific policy advisory resolution by Parliament, 4th Adopted in March 1958 highlighted the government’s responsibility to ensure the people, the benefits of the acquisition of scientific knowledge and practical application of research results. Government policy is to individuals and the collective effort, disseminate knowledge and to train staff quickly planned, the scientific needs of the country in various fields of agricultural industry advocacy, promote educational needs, space, information technology, oceanography, etc.
The contributions of scientific research and technology have led to a phenomenal transformation of Indian agriculture from subsistence to commercial agriculture. India holds a leading position among the oil producing countries in the world. The research efforts intensified to carry out varieties tolerant resistant to drought and pests and sensitive patients, the use of agriculture, his ability, drought and natural disasters to withstand and to ensure close, with the goal of food self-sufficiency in the country to the tireless efforts of agricultural scientists and farmers millions of pay of progressive thought.
Over the years, a solid scientific and technical infrastructure has been established in our country. These include a chain of national laboratories, specialized centers, various R & D centers and academic institutions, etc., offer constantly expertise, manpower and technical training and technological support to the industry. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, with its network of laboratories and research institutions is an important tool for scientific and industrial research, conducted under the auspices of the state and supports research in universities and other learning centers.
Telecommunications are a fundamental element of the infrastructure, which is important because the trend of globalization and the transition to a knowledge economy. Until 1994, telecommunications services under the monopoly of the government at the end. Although telecommunications has expanded very rapidly, within the framework of this agreement was recognized that the possibility of expanding much more rapidly and competition is also introduced to improve the quality of services and the induction of new technology. Telecommunications has become particularly important in recent years due to the tremendous growth of information technology and its potential impact on the rest of the economy. India is seen as a distinct comparative advantage in information technology or IT-enabled services have that on the quality. Telecom has also been extremely important to a wide range of activities in rural areas and significance only increases the process of economic diversification in rural areas, the potential for earnings growth. Universal service obligation should be emphasized to all providers of telecommunications services.
India joined a select club of six countries advanced in Pune-based Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) to develop the country’s first computer “Param” super. The Indians built 64 NODEC supercomputer is capable of a maximum capacity of 100 mega-flops. Param promises a transparent platform for supercomputing at an affordable price in
India has recognized the importance of early Atomic Energy Commission and the Atomic Energy was established in August 1948, the activities related to nuclear energy in the country. Today, India is the seventh country in the world and the first developing country to have the distinction of fast breeder technology master.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is responsible for the planning, implementation and management of space research activities. ISRO, in Bangalore, provides missile headquarters and laboratory facilities for scientists from various organizations in India to conduct space science experiments approved. The Indian remote sensing satellites have to complete the map of our natural resources and large derived from such data will be used contributed in a variety of areas. Even developed countries like the United States began to acquire the data collected by the IRS. This is a matter of pride that India has the 14th in the world on 3 April 1984, by a man into space. Rakesh Sharma was the first man in space in India. Similarly, Dr. Kalpana Chawla, an Indian American woman, the first Indian into space on 19 November 1997 in force in a 16-day mission of NASA, the shuttle Columbia as a mission specialist on the study of the outer atmosphere of the sun. Unfortunately, he died on a mission of the latter on his return to earth.
Technology is to give as a tool, used India a competitive position in the new global economy. For example, Indian exports today derive their comparative advantage by technological resources and manpower in place of distinction and. Therefore, given a greater impetus to increase the participation of India in high technology products is to get the value of the technology – the exports to the export and technology. The Joint Research Centre is carried out provided in all the different policies and functions of the sectors of the economy, energy and other socio-economic.
