Science successful only when society benefits from it: Modi
Prime Minister Modi stated that science needs to produce societal value through lab-to-land innovation. The progress India has made in space, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, and nuclear power indicates increasing self-reliance. Nevertheless, lack of investment in R&D, inadequate commercialisation of innovation, and access disparities exist. Scientific excellence can be ensured by increasing research funding, industry-academia partnership, and responsible innovation.
