.
CITIZEN COMMENT DISTRICT AUTHORITY
MINISTRY STATE AUTHORITY
S & T
IMPLEMENTATION
CENTRAL AUTHORITY
1. ANY CITIZEN OF INDIA CAN GIVE THEIR VIEWS OR IDEAS THROUGH A
SPECIALISED WEBSITE.
2. THE IDEAS OR VIEWS WILL BE RECEIVED BY DISTRICT LEVEL
AUTHORITY.
3. THAT AUTHORITY WILL FORWARD THE IDEA TO STATE AUTHORITY,IF
REQUIRED(SEEING THE VALIDITY.)
4. IDEAS WILL BE FORWARDED TO CENTRAL AUTHORITY AND UPTO
IMPLEMENTATION.
5. THIS WILL ADD LAKHS/CRORES OF NEW IDEAS.
6. THIS PROCESS CANNOT BE DONE DIRECTLY AS IT WILL CREATE A LOT
OF PENDINGS.
7. THE HIGHER AUTHORITIES WILL RECIEVE PHASE BY PHASE.
• Currently, very less PhD holders, in India, are coming out every year which is not sufficient as compared to international standards.
• Govt. need to announce higher education policy with new schemes, sufficient funds, advance equipments, high class professors,
high quality laboratory, job between study duration, foreign tours for interaction, etc.
• More felicitation should be given to junior scientists.
• Management study and economics should be included in the research curriculum.

6. LACK OF LEVEL PLAYING FIELD..
ADVANCED CURRICULUM
1. CLASS HOUR- AVG 5 HOURS
2. WORKING DAY-5 DAY/WEEK
3. EXAM PATTERN –
EXAM MAJOR- 40 MARK.
INTERNAL – 15 + 15.
TOTAL = 70.
4. SOMETIMES 60 AND REST 30- 40 ARE PROJECTS AND
LAB.
5. PROJECTS ARE SOMETHING NEW BUT RELATED TO
CURRICULUM.
CONSEQUENCES--
1. ADDING NEW VIEWS TO R& D CURRICULUM.
2. REALISING THE REAL SENSE OF APPLICATION AND
IMPLEMENATION.
TRADITIONAL CURRICULUM
1. CLASS HOUR- 6 HOUR.
2. WORKING DAYS- 6 DAYS/WEEK
3. EXAM PATTERN –
EXAM MAJOR- 70 MARKS
INTERNAL -30 MARKS.
4. NO PROJECTS UPTO END OF 3RD YEAR.
5. ADDING ZERO TO R & D. COMPLETELY EXAM ORIENTED
PATTERN.
CONSEQUENCES--
1. NO VIEW & UPDATE ON LATEST TRENDS.
2. THEORY AND MARK ORIENTED CURRICULUM.
3. OUTPUT R & D IS ALMOST ZERO.
WE NEED
 Time to time review of curriculum, for improving the research mind and adopting the latest
science world.
 Top authorities of the university needs to visit the institutes which is long ahead of their
university, due to latest curriculum.
 Rewards at central level for the best way of curriculum and innovation.
 Minor degree with main degree needs to be introduced(ex- b. tech with MBA, EE (B.Tech)
with minor in mechanical, economics, civil or chemical, etc).

7. RESEARCH, INNOVATION & PATENT GRID
• Currently, there is a lack of co-ordination between the research institutions and laboratory.
• New institutes should be formed to store all(pan India) the research & innovation record.
• All the research papers should be statistically analysed every year.
• Areas where research is poor should be analysed and further steps will be taken.
• RESEARCH INNOVATION PATENT

8. SOCIAL STUDY RESEARCH- THEN & NOW
• India has a rich heritage and having more than 5000 years of glory history.
• As per the report, today the research & discovery in this field of India is almost negligible.
• These fields are adding nothing to the society(research).
• History, geography, political science, literature are almost neglected.
• This phase is continuing over years.
• Recently data published about research found that our social study research is going to almost zero.
• If this will continue, then our next generation may forget about our past.
We need-
1. More careers in social science.
2. More security job and research .
3. More scope for earning.
4. More institutions (advanced quality)
5. Connecting social research with scientific research.
6. Training and equipment for their research.
7. Scope for going abroad and observing other countries strategies.
8. More sports university, sports research.
9. To study the social and scientific aspects of sports.

9. INDIA’S DEFENCE SITUATION AND ITS
IMPROVEMENT
• We need to merge the 40 odd DRDO/CSIR/PSU laboratories that work for
the Armed Forces into 10 to 12 laboratories. Do the same thing with
Ordinance Factories. Relocate manpower to achieve 100 % manning. Difficult
indeed, but inescapable, and the economic imperatives of the day demand, it
is done, sooner than later.
• We need to make more defense university which is going to do the study &
research on the scientific, economic, political and foreign scenario relating to
India’s defence system (we welcome the Govt. decision to make Indian
national defence U.V in Gurgaon.)
• Defence PSUs and the DRDO need to be partially controlled by our various
armed forces .( EX-HAL need to be accountable to IAF,O.F.B AT AVADI need to
be accountable to Indian armed force, and various ship building dock ward
need to be accountable to Indian naval force)
• Various defense specific courses ,and degrees need to be introduced in our
academic curriculum.
• National defense innovation policy need to be introduced by the defense
ministry which is going to set the road map future development of our
defense equipment.
• We need to make defense PSUs as a profit making body by exporting
various low cost product to India's friendly nation. which would act as a
confidence booster for the defense PSUs.
• Defence policy need to look into speedy allocation of fund for defense
research project, and setting a time frame for each research .
8 With effective foreign policy ,we should concentrate on joint development(
e.g.: FGFA with RUSSIA),technology transfer agreement and license production
of defense equipments, instead of buying directly form outside venders.
SOME FACTS ABOUT INDIAS
DEFENCE RESEARCH.
1) India is the worlds largest importer
of arms and ammunition.
2) India import almost 70% of its
need from the foreign market.
3) Tejas and Arjun tank take 30 years
to complete still it is not inducted to
armed force.
4) A 2010 Deloitte study projected
India’s arms procurement to rise
from $41 billion today to $120 billion
by 2017.
5) India is words 4th largest army.

10. MORE RESEARCH NEED TO BE DONE ON INDIA’S PRIMITIVE
ART, CULTURE, PAST HISTORY, LANGUAGES, TRADITION AND
HISTORICAL LITERATURE
MORE REASEARCH ON AYURVEDA
A-We need make more ayurvedas hospital .ayurvedic
university or joint university which going to deal
with both ayurvedas and modern medical science.
B- Research need to be done on great Shasta's and
Upanishads belong to ayurveda .ex:susruta
sanhita
C-We need to use ayrvedic technology in personal care
product instead of chemical biology technology.
D-More research need to be done on the ayurvedic
product which can substitute the current highly
chemical active product because ayurvedic
products would be very cheap, no side effect, its
economical benefit would go to farmers,india can
save large amount of foreign exchange money and
also it can increase its exports through ayurvedic
product as there is not a single substitute of this
5000 year science.
E-These product need to brand properly, so research
need to be done on how to promote and how to
brand globally
CULTURAL & LINGUISTIC RESEARCH
•Research on scientific value of our reach tradition.
•Research on India's culture
•Research on India's languages and there past
literatures.(every state wise language need have at least one
language university .ex : Odia university, Marathi university,
Guajarati university.)
•RESEARCH HEAVILY ON SANSKRIT:
•More Sanskrit university to study Sanskrit's literature and
current scientific value to it.
•NASAs report says that Sanskrit is the most scientific
language hence it is researching to develop compiler based
on Sanskrit ,so India need to do the same.

11. POLITICAL SOLUTION
•1- more funding to research projects from the budget by both state and central
governments.
•WHY:A- Currently India invest only o.9% of G.D.P in R & D and innovation project
which is far less than the world’s share of 2.2%. India invest fewer in % than
many countries those China, USA,UK , Russia, Japan, and even lesser % than
countries like south Korea ,Israel ,Ireland and Iceland etc.
•COUNTER ARGUMENT: Some people say that because they are developed nation
that’s why they are investing g so much .
•OUR ARGUMENT: It is not true that they are developed nation that’s why they are
investing so much on R&D,but in our point of view they invest so much earlier
that’s why they become developed. So, India need to concentrate on investing
more on research
•2:THERE SHOULD BE A PAN INDIA NODAL AGENCY IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE &TECH,
RESEARCH INNOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT FIELD.
•3:NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC REASEARCH INNOVATION AND DEVLOPMENT POLICY.
A-YES WE CAN OR WHY CANT WE.
B-SHORT TERM POLICY(3 TO 5 YEARS), LONG TERM POLICY(5 TO 20 YEAR)
•4: INDIA CURRENTLY INVESTING ONLY 0.9% OF GDP IN THE R&D&I THA T NEED TO BE
ATLEAST NEED TO BE INCREASED TO 1.5% THROUGH A PROPER PLANNING.
•5-ACCOUNTIBILITY: all the research institute need to be accountable to the ministry
of science and tech along with there parent ministries.
•6: ALL THE STATE GOVT NEED HAVE THERE OWN SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTE OR
UNIVERSITY WHICH SHOULD BACK BY THE CENTRAL GOVT.(EX,ORDISSA NEED TO
HAVE UNIVERSITY ON MINING AS ITS SOIL IS FULL OF MENEARAL REASERVE ,2-
GUJURAT NEED HAVE RESEARCH EXTENSIVELY IN THE FIELD OF TEXTILE AND
DIMOND EXTRACTION TECHNOLGY)
The secretary and ministry of science and tech should belongs to science
background.
There should be nomination of eminent scientists in Rajya sabha.( amendments
required)
A cabinet committee on innovation should be formed.

12. CONCLUSION
• THE GROWTH OF A TRULY SCIENTIFIC SPIRIT:
1) Need to focus on traditional science, technology and
innovation.
2) Advancement of socio-economic development is
required.
3) Growth in priority sector areas such as remote
villages, defence, mining, agriculture & irrigation
technology, medical science, production technology is
required.
4) There is potential but the need of the hour is
sustained momentum.
