Surender Gupta Dunar: ON ACCESS TO SCIENCE
Surender Gupta Dunar: The brightest and best in every corner of India should have the opportunity to excel in science. We need to connect our leading institutions to all stakeholders, including schools and colleges. Seeding the power of ideas and innovation in schoolchildren will broaden the base of our innovation pyramid and secure the future of our nation.
The Government remains committed to provide the best support to our scientists and scientific institutions. Niti Aayog is also evolving a holistic science and technology vision for the country. Technology Vison 2035, released in last year’s Science Congress, is now being developed into a detailed roadmap for 12 key technological sectors.
Waters that surround Indian peninsula and the vast coastline, provides 2.4 million sq km of exclusive economic zone. Ocean economy would be a significant dimension in our sustainable future. Ministry of Earth Sciences is working on launching a 'Deep Ocean Mission' to explore, understand and harvest these resources in a responsible way.
Our best science and technology institutions should further strengthen their basic research in line with leading global standards. Translating this basic knowledge into innovations, start-ups and industry will help us achieve inclusive and sustainable growth. By 2030 India will be among top 3 countries in science and technology. Science must meet the rising aspirations of our people. Another empowering factor for scientific delivery is the Ease of Doing Science. If we want science to deliver, we must not constrain it.
One major area that needs to be addressed is the Cyber Physical Systems, as it has the potential to pose unprecedented challenges. It is a huge opportunity for training and research in Robotics, Digital Manufacturing, AI, Big Data Analysis, Quantum Communication, Deep Learning and Internet of Things. Tomorrow’s experts will come from investments we make today in our people and infrastructure. The nation will always be grateful to scientists who have worked tirelessly to empower our society by their vision, labour, and leadership. Our scientists have contributed strongly to the strategic vision of the nation.
There is a need to develop and exploit these technologies in services and manufacturing sectors. Ranging from fundamental science to applied science with emphasis on innovations, the government is committed to supporting different streams of scientific knowledge. We need to keep an eye on the rise of disruptive technologies and be prepared to leverage them for growth.
