Prime Minister Narendra Modi said his goal was to make India a premier hub for scientific learning by drawing in global best practices and sharing its knowledge and experiences with the world.

“The coming years until 2047 is a period that is crucial to realise our vision of building a strong, self-reliant nation, where the scientific community in particular, especially our youth, will play a defining role,” the prime minister said in a message to a report encapsulating the scientific achievements of the past decade.

The report — ‘A Decade of Science: Technology Panorama for Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ was compiled by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Union Government and NGO Foundation for Advancing Science and Technology (FAST India) — and released by Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh on Thursday.
