TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT-

TECHNO POLICY STRATEGY:science and technology

policy of india,implications to industry
• Science is becoming increasingly inter- and
multi-disciplinary, and calls for multi-
institutional and, in several cases, multi-
country participation.

• The continuing revolutions in the field of

information and communication technology
have had profound impact on the manner and
speed with which scientific information
becomes available, and scientific interactions
take place
 WHY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY?
• Science and technology impact on economic
growth and social development.
• societal expectations
• people’s aspirations
• India’s need-Technological self-reliance, a swift
and tangible improvement in the conditions of
the weakest sections of the population and
the speedy development of backward regions.
 Technology policy of india
•First introduced in 1983, Clearly define systems for the choice of
technology, taking into account Economic ,social and cultural factors
along with technical considerations
• Indigenous development and support to technology, and
utilization of such technology
• Acquisition of technology through import and its subsequent
absorption
• Adaptation and up gradation
• Ensuring competitiveness at international levels in all necessary areas
• Establishing links between the various elements concerned with
generation of technology, its transformation into economically
utilizable form, the sector responsible for production (which is the
user of such technology), financial institutions concerned with the
resources needed for these activities, and the promotional and
regulating arms of the Government.
 OBJECTIVES
• Attain technological competence and self-reliance, to reduce
vulnerability, particularly in strategic and critical areas, making
the maximum use of indigenous resources;
• Provide the maximum gainful and satisfying employment to all
strata of society, with emphasis on the employment of women
and weaker sections of society; rural development
• Use traditional skills and capabilities, making them
commercially competitive; internationally competitive,
particularly those with export potential
• Ensure the correct mix between mass production technologies
and production by the masses;
• Ensure maximum development with minimum capital outlay;
• To meet new era of globalization.
• Identify obsolescence of technology in use and arrange for
modernization of both equipment and technology;
• To foster scientific research in academics and R&D centers.
• To establish an intellectual Property Rights(IPR)
• Improve production speedily through greater efficiency
and fuller utilization of existing capabilities, and enhance
the quality and reliability of performance and output;
Quality of work to international standards
• Reduce demands on energy, particularly energy from non-
renewable sources.
• Ensure harmony with the environment, preserve the
ecological balance and improve the quality of the habitat;
and
• Recycle waste material and make full utilization of by-
products.
Strategies and Implementation Plans
• Science and Technology Governance and
Investments: It will have appropriate
representation of industry leaders, leading
scientists and technologists and various
scientific departments.
• Raise the level of investment to at least 2% of
GDP on science and technology by the end of
the Tenth Plan.
• Optimal Utilization of Existing Infrastructure and Competence
: infrastructure, investments and intellectual strengths

• Strengthening of the Infrastructure for Science and

Technology in Academic and R&D Institutions

• Human Resource Development: scientists and technologists.

• Technology Development, Transfer and Diffusion.

• Promotion of Innovation

• Indigenous Resources and Traditional Knowledge

 Indigenous technology
• Importance of Technology Development
• Inventions
• Enhancing Traditional Skills and Capabilities
• Ensuring Timely Availability
• Upgradation to Prevent Obsolescence
• Increasing the Demand for Indigenous Technology
• Fiscal Incentives(pilot plants, prototype development plants-
commercial production)
• Design Engineering
• Engineering Consultancy(essential link between R&D institutions
and industry)
• In-house R&D
 Technology Acquisition

• Mix of Indigenous and Imported Technology

• Principles of Acquisition and Technology
Assessment
• Technological Information
 Technology transfer
• International Competitiveness and Technology
Exports
• Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries
• Protection : Legislative Framework

The Process by which existing knowledge , facilities

or capabilities developed under R & D funding are
utilized to fulfill public and private need.

“Technology Transfer” includes a range of formal &

informal cooperation between technology
developers and technology seekers.
