Science and Technology

The very important role of science in modern life is not overtated in view of today’s world. Science and technology have profoundly influenced the course of human civilization. Science has provided us remarkable insights into the world we live in and enjoy now the Apple, Samsung, Nokia products!!!!! The scientific revolutions of the 20th century have led to many technologies, which promise new innovations in many fields. As we stand today at the beginning of a new century, we have to ensure fullest use of these developments for the well being of our people. Science and technology, for example, have been an integral part of Indian civilisation and culture over the past several millennia. Few are aware that India was the fountainhead of important foundational scientific developments and approaches. These cover many great scientific discoveries and technological achievements in Mathematics, Astronomy, Architecture, Chemistry, Metallurgy, Medicine, Natural Philosophy and so on))). A great deal of this traveled outwards from India. And the India also assimilated scientific ideas and techniques from elsewhere, with open-mindedness and a rational attitude, characteristic of a scientific ethos. India’s traditions have been founded on the principles of universal harmony. During the century prior to independence, there was an awakening of modem science in India through the efforts of a number of outstanding scientists. These people were responsible for great scientific advances of the highest international caliber. Apart from the vast changes it has brought about, the development of a scientific temper in the people is considered important. In the planned economy of a country, science must necessarily play an especially important role. Improvements in techniques evolved as a result of scientific research brings about great increases in production in the different sectors of the economy. National resources are broaden by the substitution of cheap and abundant materials for those in scarce supplies and by finding uses for materials, which have remained un-utilized, prior to independence, very little attention was given to the problem of scientific and industrial research in India as well as in most countries. A number of universities and institutes carried out research, mostly on fundamental aspects of science. Certain industries also had their own research organizations. As we can see now an India is growing reallly fast by making more technological researches to grow up even more faster!!! So we also  need to keep up, especially young generation, by getting more and more involved in new technologies !!
