This document outlines the key points of India's technology policy, including its aims, priorities, and implementation. The policy was first introduced in 1983 and aims to promote self-reliance, employment, and develop internationally competitive technologies. It focuses on areas like agriculture, water resources, housing, and industrial development. The policy emphasizes indigenous development but also allows for acquisition and adaptation of imported technologies. Effective implementation and monitoring mechanisms are needed to help achieve the goals of the technology policy.

2.  Introduction
 Different Policy Instruments
 Technology Policy of India
 Aims and objectives of Technology Policy of India
 Priorities
 Indigenous Technology
 Technology Acquisition
 Technology Transfer
 Implementation
 Effectiveness
 Conclusion

3.  Science and technology as the basis of
economic progress
 Technological advances are influencing life-
styles as well as societal expectations.
 The use and development of technology must
relate to the people’s aspirations
 India’s need-Technological self-reliance, a
swift and tangible improvement in the
conditions of the weakest sections of the
population and the speedy development of
backward regions

4.  Policy-set of guidelines to avoid negative
externality and to get direction for future
 A set of legal instruments
 Fiscal instruments
 Financial instruments
 Administrative instruments

5.  First introduced in 1983
Clearly define systems for the choice of technology, taking into
account
 Economic social and cultural factors along with technical
considerations
 Indigenous development and support to technology, and
utilization of such technology
 Acquisition of technology through import and its subsequent
absorption
 Adaptation and upgradation
 Ensuring competitiveness at international levels in all necessary
areas
 Establishing links between the various elements concerned with
generation of technology, its transformation into economically
utilizable form, the sector responsible for production (which is
the user of such technology), financial institutions concerned
with the resources needed for these activities, and the
promotional and regulating arms of the Government.

6.  Attain technological competence and self-
reliance, to reduce vulnerability, particularly in
strategic and critical areas, making the
maximum use of indigenous resources;
 Provide the maximum gainful and satisfying
employment to all strata of society, with
emphasis on the employment of women and
weaker sections of society;
 Use traditional skills and capabilities, making
them commercially competitive;
 Ensure the correct mix between mass
production technologies and production by the
masses;
 Ensure maximum development with minimum
capital outlay;

7.  Identify obsolescence of technology in use and
arrange for modernization of both equipment and
technology;
 Develop technologies which are internationally
competitive, particularly those with export potential;
 Improve production speedily through greater
efficiency and fuller utilization of existing
capabilities, and enhance the quality and reliability
of performance and output;
 Reduce demands on energy, particularly energy from
non-renewable sources;
 Ensure harmony with the environment, preserve the
ecological balance and improve the quality of the
habitat; and
 Recycle waste material and make full utilization of
by-products.

8.  Need for Perspective Planning
 Employment
 Energy(efficiency of its production,
distribution and utilization, as well as
improvement of efficiency in processes and
equipment)
 Efficiency and Productivity
 Environment(ecological balance)
 Some Specific Areas(agriculture, optimum
use of water resources, provision of drinking
water in rural areas, low-cost housing,
industrial development)

9.  Importance of Technology Development
 Inventions
 Enhancing Traditional Skills and Capabilities
 Ensuring Timely Availability
 Upgradation to Prevent Obsolescence
 Increasing the Demand for Indigenous Technology
 Fiscal Incentives(pilot plants, prototype
development plants-commercial production)
 Design Engineering
 Engineering Consultancy(essential link between
R&D institutions and industry)
 In-house R&D

10.  Mix of Indigenous and Imported Technology
 Principles of Acquisition and Technology
Assessment
 Technological Information

11.  International Competitiveness and
Technology Exports
 Technical Cooperation among Developing
Countries
 Protection : Legislative Framework

12.  Success in implementation demands a
conscious integrated approach covering
technology assessment
 development
 acquisition
 utilization
 Diffusion
 connected aspects of financing, based on
overall national interests, priorities and the
attainment of the most challenging
technological goals.

13.  Lowest level of commitment-Public
statement
 Next-written document by govt
 Next-program ,if it is running
 Next-dedicated autonomous organisations
should be there to run the programs
 Next-make a law for the processes
 Next-put it in constitution

14.  Effective,expeditious, transparent and
science-based monitoring and reviewing
mechanisms will be significantly
strengthened, and wherever not available
will be put in place. It will be ensured that
the scientific community is involved in, and
responsible for, smooth and speedy
implementation.
