4. Research and Development: In Nation Building ( Role of DST) Scholarship driven Competition driven Innovation Science Technology Market driven Creation of jobs Creation of knowledge Creation of value Advanced knowledge Leadership in usable knowledge Gainful and useful knowledge National prosperity Knowledge Seekers DST presence: Strong DST presence: Limited DST Presence: Beginning

6. Balancing Manifestations of Science in Social Contexts Discovery priority of scientists Solution priority of people and states High Solution Low Discovery Low Solution Low Discovery High Solution High Discovery Low Solution High Discovery Challenge of the Governments and leaders is to motivate scientists to discover solutions Industrial research focuses on high yielding solutions

7. Knowledge Economy Paradigm Science, Technology and Innovation is emerging new power equation in the global order

8. Innovation eco system is relatively weak on account of mismatch of development and absorption and poor risk bearing capacity in the manufacturing systems. Incremental rather than leap-frog innovation is focused. Competition driven innovation Value addition to Indian raw materials through technology in competitive trade is lower than optimum. Stronger coupling between technology and trade is necessary Market driven Technology Good return for dollar and people invested. Relative position does not match talent pool on account of low investments and poor absorption capacity. Comparative position is improving Scholarship driven science India’s relative position Sector
