Abut the Workshop
Technology was acknowledged as the most important capital in nation building in the Scientific Policy Resolution, 1958, which had given a commitment to encourage teaching & research of science in all its forms in an unfettered environment.
The focus of the Technology Policy Statement, 1983 was on attaining technological self-reliance related to people’s aspirations & development of need-based appropriate indigenous technology, which would bring in qualitative improvement in the life of our common man, as well as ensure faster development of the disadvantaged areas & weaker sections of the society.
The Science & Technology Policy, 2003, while launching a package of initiatives for attracting our best talents in the arena of scientific research & rejuvenating our scientific establishments, emphasized on removal of poverty, hunger & malnutrition, creation of employment through science & technology as well as greater integration of inputs from research & development with programmes of socio-economic sectors.
The vision of the Science, Technology & Innovation (STI) Policy, 2013 is to accelerate STI-led solutions for faster, sustainable & inclusive growth & that STI system would be for the people; the Indian society would be its major stakeholders; innovation would be for inclusive growth ensuring access, availability & affordability of solutions to as large a population as possible.
