Introduction

The Government of India will launch its 5th National Science, Technology and Innovation Policy, a holistic and pragmatic policy dedicated to Science, technology, and most importantly innovation. The policy aims to reorient Science Technology & Innovation (STI) in terms of priorities, sectoral focus, and strategies.

The 5th National STIP is initiated jointly by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (Office of PSA) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST). A Secretariat with in-house "policy knowledge and data support unit" has been set up at the Department of Science and Technology to coordinate the entire process.
