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

Govt.should develop website where people could give ideas to over come challenges in day to day life.For example there are many location in country where iron content is very high & tube-well provide water with very heavy iron content.Now after getting such info on website,the mater should be refereed to the expert committee in this field.After this ministry should call EOI from Indian citizen to submit their proposal or prototype model for examination from interested persons.Then we proceed.

India need to think out of routine thinking of manufacture in india , which is basically a labour job of developed countries ,it may give jobs temporarily ,and keep nation busy in it , thats what developed countries want us to do , so that we dont concentrate in innovations and be there competetors ,atmanirbhar may have added clause of not doing donkey work of developed nation to feed our country and do manufacturing of only those products whose technology is with us

Substantial budget need to be set aside for investment in obtaining latest technology and to build up on it ,we do spend on recurring losses like waiver of loans ,defense expense ,exploited subsidies ,various govt schemes wherein only 10 pc is genuinely utilised ,rest is being usurped by system ,instead of all these budget being pilferaged and not being actually used ,we can use in such innovations in existence

A tie up need to be done with developed nation ,similar to import of defense jets ,wherein developed nation share with us there latest technology ,innovations , science ,wherein if need govt can also invest in such joint venture ,and spread it thru out country ,simultaneously challenging areas of basic culture of nation need to be upgraded ,we didnt did jointventure with nasa in space projects and we lost huge money in failure of space project for doing independently , ego and prestige ,

Like an experiment in middle east , they are coming up with a city without private vehicle ,india can also experiment ,wherein all spaces of roads are used for only public transport ,there will be less congestion on road , no traffic , and limit the population density per acre of land , so that population is as per infrastructure or viceversa ,and cycle at each junction to travel in bylanes ,and spl roaming tram for sr citizen and challenged persons

Initially We need to charge less import duty on such science , technology , innovative products ,and concentrate on increasing production of prevailing export items , till we are at par with the world ,wherein we can be called as developed nation ,and competitive developed nation ,but also alongwith it we need to promote education , jobs , living style , culture , peace , united india front ,only science will not help ,or it will be lopsided nation
