CSIR-NISCAIR-DST National Workshop “Science, Technology & Innovation Policy: Optimising Communication & Information Research”

Abstract

Science and technology policies play an important role in shaping a country’s research and development. India has had a few science and technology policies since independence that have shaped science and technology in the country. The latest policy in place is the Science, Technology and Innovation Policy of 2013. Devising science, technology and innovation policies requires considerable inputs and envisioning future needs so that such evidence-based policies can foster scientific research, accelerate technological developments and create innovative products and processes.
