The document discusses the history of science and technology in India. It explains that science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation, while technology is the practical application of scientific knowledge. In ancient India, developments included shipbuilding, calendars, mining, and medicinal plant knowledge. After colonization, the Spanish and Americans influenced growth in these fields. Prominent Indian scientists like Raman, Bhabha, and Abdul Kalam contributed pioneering work. Today, India sees increasing private investment and policy support driving the growth of science and technology, though low incomes and infrastructure pose challenges to development.

2. WHAT IS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY?
 SCIENCE- It is the intellectual and practical activity
encompassing the systematic study of the structure and
behavior of the physical and natural world through
observation and experiment.
 TECHNOLOGY- It is the application of scientific
knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.

3. Is Technology related to Science?
Technology is the practical
application of science. Without
science, technology can not be
developed . In other words
science is the theory behind the
technology.

4. HOW DOES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MAKE
THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN?
 Science and technology has been of a great help to
mankind to make their lives better. Technology provides to
us a better knowledge, faster ways of locomotion and
communication.
 Better knowledge-computers have replaced books in the
present world. A lot can be learned over the internet. It
helps in doing lot of research on information for projects
quickly rather than going to library.

5.  Faster way of locomotion – Nowdays, ways of locomotion such as car ,motorcycle, train and
airplanes has facilitated our lives as opposed to ships in the olden time which used to take a lot
of time to reach the destination . The airplane presently the fastest means of travel is very
comfortable and safe among the rest of the ways of locomotion.
 communication-When we talk about communication ,the telephone, and the internet come into
our mind .
 Their uses are essential to the society ,and it has become much easier to communicate by
telephone than by mail used in the olden days. The mail which was a slow means of
communication has been replaced by a much faster means now.
 People can pay bills by the internet in a safe way.

6. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
INTRODUCED IN INDIA IN THE PAST.
 Jawaharlal Nehru ,the first prime minister of India had initiated reforms to
promote higher education ,science, and technology in India.
 Education- the Indian institutes of technology- conceived by a 22 members
committee of scholars and entrepreneurs in order to promote technical
education in India. More IITs were opened in Bombay, Madras, Kanpur and
Delhi in the late 1950s and the early 1960s. Five Indian institute of technology
were listed among the 10 science and technology schools in Asia.
 Space research organization- beginning in the 1960s close ties with the
soviet union enabled the Indian space research organization to rapidly
develop the Indian space program and advanced nuclear power in India.

7.  Advancement in engineering-development of Roads.
 Advanced metallurgy- production of steel in India.
 Advanced textile manufacturing- production of cotton in India.

GALLEON TRADE SUEZCANAL
Opening of the Suez canal allowed the Filipinos to study in Europe and were influenced
by the rapid development of scientific ideals brought the age of enlightenment..

17. AMERICAN REGIME

Inclined towards:
 Agriculture
 Food processing
 Forestry
 Medicine and pharmacy
Bureau of science institute of science
 Lack of basic information
 Lack of support of experimental work
 Minimal budget for scientific research
 Law salaries of scientist employed by the government

18. INDIAN SCIENTIST HELP IN DEVELOPMENT
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
 Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman :- work on scattering of
light
 Homi Jehangir Bhabha :- Quantum Theory.
 Moksha gundam Visvesvaraya :-Sir M V suggested that
India try to be at par with industrialized nations as he
believed that India can become developed through
industries.
 S. Chandrashekar :- work concerns the radiation of
energy from stars, particularly white dwarf stars, which
are the dying fragments of stars.
 APJ Abdul Kalam :-Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, is
an Indian scientist who worked as an Aerospace engineer
with Defence Research and Development Organisation
(DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

19. GROWTH OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN
INDIA IN THE PRESENT WORLD.
 Robust demand-increase affordability are demand drivers for technologically
advanced product in India.
 Attractive opportunities-India is the top exporter of IT products and has the
third largest pharma sector and fast growing research segment.
 Policy support-PPP has helped in promoting exchange of scientific knowledge
and R & D
 Rising private activity-increase investment by private players.

20. REASONS FOR SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA.
 Low per capita income
 Huge dependence of population on agriculture
 Heavy population pressure
 Inequality in wealth distribution
 Lack of infrastructure
 Poor quality of human capital

21. CONCLUSION:-
• To conclude, I strongly agree that technology has
made the world a better place to live. The
computer , the automobile, the telephone, and
various other advancements in this field have
surely been essential to us and I think that the
world has so many things yet to be developed in
order to help the society and make it a better
place to live.
