Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Thursday unveiled the Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policy 2013 that aspires to position India among the top five global scientific powers by 2020.
The first copy of the policy that seeks to focus on both STI for people and people for STI was presented to President Pranab Mukerjee at the inaugural session of the centenary session of the Indian Science Congress here. It aims to bring all the benefits of science, technology and innovation to national development and to sustainable and more inclusive growth.
‘The STI Policy seeks to send a signal to the Indian scientific community, both in the private and public domain, that science, technology and innovation should focus on faster, sustainable and inclusive development of the people,’ says the policy document.
It seeks the right sizing of the gross expenditure on research and development by encouraging and incentivising private sector participation in research and development, technology and innovation activities.
