While addressing the launch session, Professor K. VijayRaghavan, Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA), Government of India, stated that India’s public R&D organisations are increasingly being recognised as drivers of this innovation ecosystem across diverse sectors. As India enters 75th year of Independence, the time is apt to evaluate our scientific prowess and achievements in the light of emerging national priorities and commitments towards Atmanirbhar Bharat.
As the world transitions from the worst ever pandemic to an era of technology driven growth, we, as a nation aspire to invest 4% of GDP in R&D by 2047. This calls for a focused approach by both the government and the private sector, R&D Labs and academia, highlighted Mr. Vipin Sondhi, Chair, CII National Mission on Tech, Innovation & Research and former MD & CEO, Ashok Leyland Ltd & JCB India Ltd.
