The goal of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (STI) policy, 2013 is SRISHTI (Science, Research and innovation system for High technology led path for India). Which of the following is not a feature of the policy?
The goal of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (STI) policy, 2013 is SRISHTI (Science, Research and innovation system for High technology led path for India). Which of the following is not a feature of the policy?
The correct option is C Main focus is on increasing the capacity of public research institutions and universities and strengthening research in higher education to achieve government- led revolution in research and innovation.
The Key features of the STI policy 2013 are
- Promoting the spread of scientific temper amongst all sections of society.
- Enhancing skills for applications of science among the young from all social sectors.
- Making careers in science, research and innovation attractive enough for talented and bright minds.
- Establishing world class infrastructure for R&D for gaining global leadership in some select frontier areas of science.
- Positioning India among the top five global scientific powers by 2020(by increasing the share of global scientific publications from 3.5% to over 7% and quadrupling the number of papers in top 1% journals from the current levels).
- Linking contributions of Science Research and innovation system with the inclusive economicgrowth agenda and combiningprioritiesof excellence and relevance.
- Creating an environment for enhanced private sector participation in R &D.
- Enabling conversion of R & D output with societal and commercial applications by replicating hitherto successful models, as well as establishing of new PPP structures.
- Seeking S&T based high risk innovation through new mechanisms.
- Fostering resource optimized cost-effective innovation across size and technology domains.
- Triggering in the mindset & value systems to recognize respect and reward performances which create wealth from S&T derived knowledge.
- Creating a robust national innovation system.
Aspirations of the Policy
The main aspirational elements of the STI policy are:
- Raising Gross Expenditure in Research and Development (GERD) to 2% from the present 1% of the GDP in this decade by encouraging enhanced private sector contribution.
- Increasing the number of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) of R&D personnel in India by at least 66% of the present strength in 5 years.
- Increasing accessibility, availability and affordability of innovations, especially for women, differently-abled and disadvantaged sections of society.
STIP 2013 is silent on strengthening research in higher education. Ninety per cent of the National Knowledge Commission’s recommendations remain unimplemented as much as the proposal to create 14 innovation universities.
