New Delhi: Although India possesses deep scientific capabilities, stronger institutional frameworks, streamlined regulations and effective industry linkages are needed to ensure that laboratory innovations quickly reach society, industry, and markets, experts said at a NITI Aayog event.
The consultation brought together a distinguished gathering of institutional leaders, vice chancellors and scientific ministry/ departments for in-depth discussions on strengthening India’s research and development ecosystem.
Professor Ashutosh Sharma, President, Indian National Science Academy (INSA), and Dr N Kalaiselvi, Director General, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), in their keynote interventions, echoed the need for reimagining India’s research landscape where ease of doing R&D is a priority. Jishnu Dev Varma, Governor of Telangana, emphasised that building a resilient R&D architecture is fundamental to the vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.
He underlined that India must focus not only on generating new knowledge but also on translating it into technologies, processes, and solutions that strengthen national self-reliance and global competitiveness.
The Governor commended the initiative of NITI Aayog for bringing diverse stakeholders together on a platform that aligns science with societal progress.
