BANGALORE, India â India's share of high quality scientific research is
declining sharply as rivals like China make R&D progress, a panel said.
As a result, new initiatives are needed to revitalize scientific research
here, a scientific advisory council to the Prime Minister said Saturday
(July 8).
Investment in science should be increased and the research output of
universities and research institutes expanded, the council said. Making
science careers more attractive to young people is a priority along with
greater incentives for pursuing a career in scientific research, the
council said.
Of particular concern are excessive bureaucratic and political interference
at universities and scientific institutions, said council chairman C.N.R.
Rao, who will convene a conference on science teaching and research, the
government said in a statement.
