PM calls for concerted efforts to make India global centre of research and innovation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for concerted efforts to make India a global centre of research and innovation, and urged state governments to frame modern policies in the fi elds of science and technology. Mr. Modi lamented that unlike the western countries, India failed to adequately celebrate the works of its scientists, which turned a large section of the society indifferent towards science. 

There is a need to celebrate the achievements of Indian scientists, he emphasised, while virtually addressing the inaugural session of the Centre-State Science Conclave organised recently in Ahmedabad.
