India reached to No.9 spot in the world's Science and Technology map in 2010 overtaking Spain, with its output of S&T systems growing at a significant 12% as against the global average of just 4%. This year's overtake is one rank up from last year. India was ranked 15th in S&T systems output in the year 2002.

Even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seems to be committed on science in a big way since he has announced recently that the decade from 2010 to 2020 will be the Decade of Innovation where we'll be looking at science to create wealth and employment for the country. Currently Indian Government is spending over one percent of Gross Domestic Product on research and development. The government is planning grow this to 2% of GDP in 5-6 years, both public and private sectors together.

So users, I just want to ask you all, how India can become No.1 country in science and technology?

Attract Indian scientists back home and stop brain drain

idea posted by Sonam Kapoor Software Developer, IBM

India already has required brains to make it a No. 1 country. But our misfortune is that due to the injection of politics in every field, good talents are not getting chance to perform because of which brain drain is taking place. The facilities and scope they are getting in other countries, they are not getting the same in India. This is the reason they are fleeing to western worlds and making it more developed than that of India. If we keep politics away from S&T in India and giving all required facilities to them, I am sure brain drain will stop, scientists will come back to India and within a few year, we'll overtake USA to become world's no.1 S&T mapped country.

True Sonam....put into place lucrative measures, recognise the basic indigenious brain by giving it more exposure, step up the R&D framework, less of political inteference in terms of governmental policies & norms...basically giving CREDIT its due as such.

I support your views but question arises : Is that politics in India don't wish S&T to become No 1 in the world.

Catch right fish and feeding more

idea posted by karthik Tester, Excelacom Technologies

It means - catching up right people ( from college students to retired people) who is having relevant talent. A person with scientist inside may not yearn Phd but given an oppurtunity to work in research, he/she can certainly contribute to to the research activity. People who have enough talent and interest in science can be given an oppurtunity for innovation. These criteria can help to  bring in more and better resources.

Also more budget should be alloted for research activity in order to compete with other countries who invest more in science and technology.

Well what i feel can help a ot is that we should concentrate more on developing a student's intellect more towards development in terms of innovations than being mere  degree holders  who start to learn only after they enter in the industry and slowly realise what they learnt was good for achieving good marks  only with least of practical use.

Learn from China's development strategy

idea posted by Himanshu Pathak Sr/Principal Coresspondent, Coresspondent

China is taking on the West where the West has dominated so far, bringing the fight closer to the technology leaders, while India has conveniently told itself that it will not even play this game. Whereas Indians foolishly are serving their European and American masters setting up BPOs, KPOs, LPOs, software services, helping them do their things in a cheap and cost-effective way, while Chinese are poised to take on these European and American masters head on and have completely overthrown their colonial inferiority complex. Indians only used to think they are good at software services while China is good at manufacturing. This was a convenient characterization that only Indians believed because the books were written in English which only Indians could understand and limited themselves to serving the West. It made no attempts at taking on China in manufacturing. Nor did they attempt to take on the West to go up the value chain to actually deliver technology and products. China not only won the race in manufacturing and consolidated its position, it is now entering the technology product space, the domain held closely by the European, American and Japanese technology leaders and has started to beat these leaders at their own game.

Mr. Pathak is right to some extent, but claiming that China won the race in manufacturing is untrue(reason-India was never in the race atleast in most of the sectors).

Indian companies should definitely look to climbing the value chain and deliver higher products and that is already happening (atleast in the IT sector).

In the manufacturing domain Indian companies should play on to their strengths like the textile sector where India was a major exporter at one time and now they seem to have lost to upcoming competitors like Bangladesh, Thailand and China.

Another promising sector could be the small car manufacturing sector where top manufacturers are coming here due to manufacture because of huge domestic demand.

Apart from this we should concentrate on our strengths in the service sectors like outsourcing, application development where China is aiming to gain a bigger share. (We cannot afford to be complacent in these areas, lest we wish to loose out here as well.)

Add more collegaes and research fellowships

idea posted by Ashoka B kalgude Executive, Biocon India

Give permission to start new university and invite foreign investment. Develop interest in basic science in kids. Import of instruments for reasearch sould be

duty free. Have a good regulation for education so the corruption will be curbed.

Create more infrastructure for researches and support by government

idea posted by George Varghese Proprietor, Jecyees

India should create more infrastructure for researches supported by government and the scientists should be given liberal facilities for researches. Indian scientists working abroad are using the facilities of the countries where they do researches. We should welcome all Indian scientists working abroad if they want to work in India and provide facilities for their researches but not to force any one to come to India and work. The steps taken by ISRO is encouraging. They have opened university to train students on ISRO account with secured job offer. Let us follow such examples.

Increase more Research Universities and Institutes

idea posted by Kumara Swamy Project Associate, IIIT-H

Currently in India, around 30 research institutes are existed. As compared to China, Japan and other developed countries it is very very less. Increase the number of universities and institutes like IITs, IIITs, IISCs, IIMs etc., so that India can meet  not only the requirements of Indian populations but also the domestic problems. This resolves all the problems such as infrastructure building, knowledge migration, etc. I hope, the Government concentrate more initiations to start institutes and universities based on research and development.

Provide good facilities

idea posted by Aswani.K.M Software Developer

        In present scenario we can see a lot of Indian Scientists work for other countries.The Government should provide facilities and funds for Research and Development in India.So Scientist will stay back in India and work for India, so we can become no:1 in Science and Technology

Lear from your own mistakes

idea posted by Aditya Sharma Insurance Advisor/Analyst, LIC OF INDIA, ICICI LOMBARD

Yes learn from your own mistakes and don't be afraid of committing one, But keep one thing in mind that you don't have to commit the same mistake the next time. Take guidance from your neighbour as well as from those who have the same educational, social, cultural, ideological and financial background like you. Though you might not find all the attributes in others but you can relate to a larger extent to some of them. By following this evolve your own self. For example India has evolved to some extent that it is the IT and ITES sector which will make you World no.1. Likewise you can find other areas also. We can choose those sectors in which the Govt. inteference in any form is minimal. If we work on them than our becoming economically and Science & Technologically world no.1 will be faster. So in the end evolution is the name of the game.

Govt.should promote Science Stream & Reseach Work

idea posted by Ranadeb Ray Administrative Executive, Kreuz Subsea Pte.Ltd.

Fist of all, Our Government should focus more on the Science Subject and on the Research side.They should increase the stipend or any scholarship amount which is related to the Research Work.At present, it is evry less.

Second, This will increase the chances of students opting for the Science stream.

Third, The Country should look afetr the candidates who are conducting Research & thus, our chances of being successfull will increase.

Focus on basic scientific research

idea posted by Azhar Kazmi Professor, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals

Sharp focus on basic or fundamental scientific research in the long-run can push us up on the S&T ladder. We are ninth today because of the sagacity of our leaders like Nehru. We can be number one in the long-run if our universities and research institutions are able to produce best results. Nations who are good today all have been through the grind. We also need to go through that.
