Time to celebrate a scientist’s success – The New Indian Express
As India seeks to lead the 4th Industrial Revolution, the role of Indian science and people related to this field is very important. In this situation, policy makers and our responsibilities related to governance and management increase.
Looking back at the early decades of the last century, we see how the world lived through a time of devastation and tragedy. But even then, scientists from all over the world, East and West, were engaged in important discoveries. In the West, scientists like Einstein, Fermi, Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Tesla and many others have amazed the world with their experiments.
During the same period, countless Indian scientists such as C. V. Raman, Jagadish Chandra Bose, Satyendra Nath Bose, Meghnad Saha, S Chandrashekhar were making new discoveries. All these scientists have paved many avenues for improving the future. But the big difference between the East and the West was that they didn’t celebrate the achievements of scientists as much as they should have. The result has been apathy towards science in much of our society.
Our scientists are giving us this opportunity through discovery every step of the way. If India manages to develop a vaccine for Corona and administer more than 200 million doses of the vaccine, there is huge potential for scientists behind it.
I am pleased that our government is pursuing a science-based approach to development. Since 2014, there has been a significant increase in investment in the science and technology sector. Thanks to government efforts, India ranks 46th in the Global Innovation Index today, whereas in 2015 she was 81st. We covered the distance from 81 to 46 in a very short amount of time, but there’s no need to stop. Now we have to aim higher.
Today, a record number of patents are being granted in India and new innovations are happening.
Science, technology and innovation are in the DNA of today’s younger generation. They adapt to technology very quickly. We must do everything in our power to support this young generation. In today’s new India, new areas are opening up such as space missions, deep sea missions, national supercomputing missions, semiconductor missions, hydrogen missions and drone technology. Special emphasis is also placed on the new national education policy to ensure that students receive science and technology education in their mother tongue.
We must all work together in many aspects of this ‘Amrit Karl’ to make India a global center of research and innovation. We must bring science and technology research to the local level. The need now is that all states should focus on innovation to create local solutions according to local problems.
Science also plays a big role in the circular economy that recycles urban waste. To meet all these challenges, all countries need to develop and implement modern policies on science, innovation and technology.
State governments should put particular emphasis on creating more and more scientific institutions and simplifying the process. State higher education institutions also need to increase the number of innovation labs. Today is the age of hyper-specialization. World-class specialized laboratories are being established in the state. Our Government is ready to assist all states in this regard at the central level through the expertise of our national institutions. To equip schools with modern scientific laboratories as well as build Atal Tinkering Labs Campaigns also need to be strengthened.
The state has many national-level scientific institutes and laboratories. States should make the most of their capabilities and expertise. We also need to free science institutions from silos. We also need to increase the number of programs across the state that advance science and technology at the grassroots level.
