Release of Draft 5th National Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy for public consultation

As India and the world reorient in the present context of the COVID-19 crisis, a new Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy (STIP) was initiated at this crucial juncture during mid-2020. For India to march ahead on a sustainable development pathway to include economic development, social inclusion and environmental sustainability for achieving an Atmanirbhar Bharat'', a greater emphasis may be needed on promoting traditional knowledge systems, developing indigenous technologies and encouraging grassroots innovations. The emergence of disruptive and impactful technologies poses new challenges and simultaneously greater opportunities. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a compelling opportunity for R&D institutions, academia and industry to work in unison for sharing of purpose, synergy, collaboration and cooperation.

The new Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy aims to bring about profound changes through short-term, medium-term, and long-term mission mode projects by building a nurtured ecosystem that promotes research and innovation on the part of both individuals and organizations. It aims to foster, develop, and nurture a robust system for evidence and stakeholder-driven STI planning, information, evaluation, and policy research in India. The objective of the policy is to identify and address the strengths and weaknesses of the Indian STI ecosystem to catalyse socio-economic development of the country and also make the Indian STI ecosystem globally competitive.

The new policy, STIP, revolves around the core principles of being decentralized, evidence-informed, bottom-up, experts-driven, and inclusive. Also, it aims to bring in the concept of dynamic policy with a robust policy governance mechanism incorporating features such as implementation strategy, periodic review, policy evaluation, feedback, and adaptation, and most importantly, a timely exit strategy for various policy instruments.
Keeping above in view, a STIP policy document ver 1.4 has been finalized and placed here after a detailed 4 track process of consultations during last 6 months beginning from May 2020. The process so far involved nearly 300 rounds of consultations with more than 40,000 stakeholders well distributed in terms of region, age, gender, education, economic status, etc. The STIP Secretariat was coordinated, supported, and guided by the Office of PSA, NITI Aayog, and DST. The formulation process, by design, envisioned as a very inclusive and participative model with intense interconnectedness among different tracks of activities.

Your suggestions, inputs and comments on the draft STIP will be invaluable towards finalization of the policy document. We shall be grateful if you could find time to go through this draft and share your thoughts on the proposed STI policy latest by Monday the 25th January 2021 on email: india-stip[at]gov[dot]in

The detailed study of each state practices, living will help to find more innovations, scientific approach and technical ways etc. Similarly handwork if you take, bamboo tree growing places, bamboo tree related products will be more. It is eco friendly also. Similarly each state climate wise can find out which is best in their state climate and can find innovative products relevant to that area.
Some thoughts.

Each and every state will have different culture , variety of food habits, habits etc. Probably each state can do their own state study of people, cultural habits, home medical practices etc. I feel medicinal practices and climate to the state related. For example, in kerala it is hill area. Rainy climate. People used to have jeers water always.
Some can be explained in old literatures practices books as well. Similarly organic dye innovations can do, as it is organic and not harmful.

As per my thought process, we study in school science as physics, chemistry and biology. But we have lots of areas where we don't have proper guidance or research. I will say for example, yoga, ayurvedic medicines, sidhdha medicines, organic dye engineering, organic farming etc. I will say our culture and system is eco related one. For example, if you take tamilnadu the cultural festivals, food varieties, seasonal foods are climate related etc. Similarly every state it is like that.

Thanks to mobiles and mobkes, children grow up never learning to concentrate and being patient. Independently, they can practice either writing Sri Ramajayam 50 times every hour or chant Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Hare, 16 times every hour. It always works by calming mind.

देश में इनोवेशन को बढ़ावा देने के लिए, छोटी कक्षा में बच्चों को खेल खेल में, प्रयोग कराकर, उनके विचार जानने समझने के प्रयास करने चाहिए, इसके उपरांत बेसिक थ्योरी समझा कर बच्चों के द्वारा की प्रायोगिक समझ को एप्लाई करने से बच्चों में बचपन से ही innovative nature डेवलप हो जायगा, जिसके रिजल्ट आगामी वर्षो में दिखने लगे गे, तथा सकारात्मक result निश्चित रूप से प्राप्त होंगे.

Scientists are doing great job I think they need more support with more investment in Technology growth in space there role is Excellent but I suggest if they do discover some Device like Censors which deduct any new virus instantly with smartphone Censors and wrist watch this can be around us of 3 to 5 meters distance I think it is the wonderful Discovery in future to protect us from suddenly dropped of at pandemic.

A good initiative to stop plastic bottle waste could be to setup vending machines which accept used plastic bottle to give particular item. This way people will tend to collect.and carry bottle with them rather than to throw them anywhere. I have more ideas like this.... if given opportunity I will do my best.
