Science and Technology
Science
and Technology have always been an integral part of Indian culture. Natural
philosophy, as it was termed in those ancient times, was pursued vigorously at
institutions of higher learning. The Indian Renaissance, which coincided with
our independence struggle, at the dawn of 1900s witnessed great strides made by
Indian scientists. This innate ability to perform creatively in science came to
be backed with an institutional setup and strong state support after the
country’s independence in 1947.
Since
then, the Government of India has spared no effort to establish a modern
S&T infrastructure in the country. The Department of Science and Technology
plays a pivotal role in promotion of science and technology in the country.
