Admitting that India’s bureaucracy has crippled science and technology research, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the government would take necessary steps to rectify this.
“We will make it easier to do science and research in India, improve science administration, and expand the supply and improve the quality of science education and research in India,” said Modi, inaugurating the 103rd Indian Science Congress being held at the University of Mysore in its centenary year. Modi also highlighted the country’s focus to promote indigenous scientific research has to be razor-sharp given the lack of resources coupled with the immense scale of the country.
Solving problems through science by prioritising policy was the key takeaway from his speech, during which Modi also coined a new mantra of five Es - economy, environment, energy, empathy and equity - possibly to celebrate the 100th year of Albert Einstein’s publishing of the theory of relativity.
