The Vice President of India Shri M. Hamid Ansari has said that our development plans have consistently emphasised the need for sustained investment in research and related activities leading to creation of substantial capacity and capabilities in science and technology. The fruits of this effort are evident in our nuclear and space programmes, information and communication technology services, automotive and pharmaceuticals industries and other areas such as agriculture, healthcare, bio-technology and nano-technology etc. Addressing at the Closing Ceremony of the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Jawahar Lal Nehru Centre for Advance Scientific Research (JNCASR) at Bangalore, Karnataka today, he said that despite these achievements, it is widely felt that we are yet to realise our full potential in the field of scientific research and technological innovation. As the Indian economy continues on the path of rapid, more inclusive and sustainable growth, it will be all the more necessary to ensure that our capabilities in science and technology grow in strength.
