Policy for Science and Science Policy for Development q Synergizing Science, Technology and Innovation l Extent to which STI enterprise integrates vertically and creates social and economic goods through innovation with impact on the national development processes l There is discovery element in science. There is also solution dimension to modern science. Balancing and interconnecting discovery and solution dimensions of science need new mechanisms and pathways l Enrolling Indian society and Indian industry as major stakeholders in the process

Priorities of STI Policy 2013 q Nourishing the root of science by promoting excellence • Focus on science education & teaching and attraction of talents to science q Combining Excellence with Relevance • Grand challenge programs with matching deployment of resources q Performance-Reward Relationship • Performance Related Incentive System (PRIS) for basic research q Delivery systems for STI outputs to stake holders • Partnerships with socio-economic ministries and State Governments for enhancing the stake holder value of STI enterprise

Priorities of STI Policy 2013 q Attracting Private Sector investments into R&D • R&D for public and social goods objectives through PPP model q Partnership among stake holders to scale R&D successes • Closing gaps in translational research leading to application of R&D findings q Gaining Global Competitiveness through collaboration • Strategic partnerships and alliances with other nations for value addition to national programs and addressing global issues • Participation in global consortia for mega science projects

POLICY GOAL v Serving India by connecting performance with excellence and relevance v Accelerate the pace of discovery and delivery of science-led solutions for serving the national goal of faster, sustainable and inclusive growth v A strong and viable Science, Research and Innovation System for High Technology-led path for India (SRISHTI) is a policy goal. 3/19/201812 th April 12
