New technological innovations which gained acceleration in the 20th century have become an integral part of life in the 21st century. India's contribution to the world of science and technology is immense. Our country could boast pioneering some of the foundations in the elds of Mathematics, Architecture, Astronomy, Medicine, Physics, and Natural Philosophy. Today, India can reap the benets from the applications of its scientic contribution. Many scientic researchers in the eld of Pharmaceuticals, Nuclear Energy, Space Technology, Biotechnology, Electronics and others have helped to transform the economic status of India and created spaces for the younger generation to grow and ‚ourish in a technologically advanced environment. Technological development in any eld enhances the economy of any nation. In order to improve the power of science and technology in India, the Indian gove ment has formed the Council of Scientic and Industrial Research in the year 1942, and the Board of Scientic and Industrial Research in the year 1940. In order to emphasize the growth of science and technology in the country, the Indian gove ment has established a chain of national laboratories and research institutes in various regions. After independence, our country has been involved in the promotion of science for national development. A variety of policies by the gove ment has emphasized self-sufciency, sustainable growth and development all through the country.
