It's time India should increase its gross expenditure on research and development (GERD) to a realistic target of 1 percent of GDP from the current value of around 0.7 %, which is far less than the global average of 2 percent of GDP in other countries like China (2.14%). In the last two decades, while other countries have seen a substantial increase in research spending in line with their economic growth, India has declined its R&D spending (World Bank 2018 report), which is quite alarming and of concern. To become a developed nation by our centenary, we not only need 'Made in India' but also 'Invent in India', which requires a substantial increase in R&D spending not only in applied science but also in basic sciences. The financial assistance provided in CFTIs should be provided only to those who are economically challenged without any other form of discrimination, and spending on PhD/PostDoc salary should increase to cultivate skilled scientific talents in the nation.
