India is one of the leading nations in the world in terms of science and

technology. India has the second largest pool of scientists and engineers in

the world. In terms of technological advancements and scientific

achievements India is second to none. India belongs to the select group of

countries who have developed indigenous nuclear technology. India is

among the few countries which have developed ballistic missiles. In the field

of space science India is among the few countries which have the capability

to launch GSLV satellite. India's achievements in the field of IT and

software are acknowledged all over the world.

ANCIENT INDIAN CONTRIBUTION

Epics like Ramayana & Mahabharata, we learn the social structure, standard of living, their ways of daily life. Science & Technology reflects when the book mentions advance laser rays, destructive weapons, missiles, drugs, water systems study of planets, airplanes etc. But they were imaginations as these epics are dated as old as 2nd Century BC, and if we see developments today this has become reality.

Around 1500 BC, Shalva-Sutra was written, It proposed the principles of measurements length was measured with ropes; hence people started identifying rope as Shalva, it also defines the relationship between radius and circumference.

In 498 AD, Indian mathematician and astronomer Aryabhata, stated that "sthānāt sthānaṁ daśaguņaṁ syāt“. The oldest known text to use a decimal place-value system, including a zero, is the Jain text from India entitled the Lokavibhâga, dated 458 AD, where shunya("void" or "empty")

Great sage Kanaad conjectured for the first time some elements of theory of atoms in fifth century BC. He put forward the theory that every substance was made of atoms.

A great mathematician was born during 450 BC and 585 BC. His name was Varahmihir. He used to state that there were some attractive forces in the stars of the universe. Due to the sum total of such forces the Vasundhara(the earth) was able to float. This was just a step before the most talked about Gravitational Forces.

In 'Arybhatiya' poem, for which he worked for about six months, he said, “Even if we feel the sun and the stars are rotating around us, in fact they are fixed and the earth is only rotating around them.” He mathematically calculated the circumference of the earth as 39,736 KM. It is believed today that to be 39,843 KM. Arybhata had calculated that there are 365 days, 6 hrs, 12 minutes and 30 seconds in one year.

Bhaskaracharya of 12th century was the next great mathematician after Aryabhat. In 1658, well known French mathematician Pierre de Firma asked question to his friend Bernard Frenicle de Bessy’, If X and Y both are integers, then how do we solve the following equation? 61X**2 + 1 = Y2

Bhaskaracharya had solved this problem in the year 1150.

India had made great progress in medicines too. We had tradition of medicines since 3000 BC. This knowledge is known as AyurVed (knowledge of Life).

Since Vedic period, we had Gurukul system. The universities of Takshshila, Varanasi and Nalanda were well known all over the world. One could acquire education on arts, literature, music, philosophy, religion (Hindu and Buddha), law, chemistry, biology, medicine, astronomy, architecture, sculpture, history and geography.

View of the Asokan Pillar at Vaishali, One of the edicts of Ashoka,(272—231 BCE) reads: "Everywhere King Piyadasi (Asoka) erected two kinds of hospitals, hospitals for people and hospitals for animals. Where there were no healing herbs for people and animals, he ordered that they be bought and planted

INDIA 19TH CENTURTY ONWARDS…Our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru aimed "to convert India’s economy into

that of a modern state and to fit her into the nuclear age and do it quickly.“

On 18 August 1951 the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur in West Bengal was founded.

Aimed to develop advanced military technology, Defence Research and Development Organization was formed in 1958.

The Indian Government acquired the EVS EM computers from the Soviet Union, which were used in large companies and research laboratories.

Tata Consultancy Services – established in 1968 by the Tata Group – were the country's largest software producers during the 1960s.

India accounts for about 10% of all expenditure on research and development in Asia and the number of scientific publications grew by 45% over the past years.

Five of our Indian Institutes of Technology units are listed among the top 10 science and technology schools in Asia & globally.

The Government of India launched the Nano Mission in May 2007 as an umbrella capacity-building programme. The Nano Mission has resulted in about 5000 research papers and about 900 Ph.Ds.

The office of the Hijli Detention Camp (photographed September 1951) served as the first academic building of IIT Kharagpur.

'Karela' (bitter melon) fruits look like the human pancreas and ancient literature mentions that it is the best remedy for diabetes mellitus.

32.The origin of surgery in India can be traced back to the Indus-Saraswati valley civilisation. In fact, recent findings suggest that the origin could be pushed even further. Excavations from the Mehrgarh area of the present-day Pakistan have revealed that the practice of drilling human teeth existed even 9000 years ago.

33. Green revolution: Dr M S Swaminathan, better known as the "Father of the Green Revolution”; India developed into a country that fed itself.

NRIs who love to gawk at America’s Hoover dam, it would come as a surprise that the Bhakra at 741 feet is one of the highest gravity dams (compare Hoover Dam at 732 ft). The dam provides irrigation to 10 million acres.

39.Defence Research and Development : By far the most remarkable achievement of India in the S&T sphere is the triumph over innumerable international sanctions to develop indigenous defense infrastructure.

These satellites provide data for applications in agriculture, forestry, water harnessing, land use and land cover mapping, fold mapping and ocean resources survey.

47. INSAT: The Indian National Satellite (INSAT) system is a shining example of what all has been achieved by India’s space technology. The INSAT series is the largest domestic communication system in the Asia-Pacific Region. Active satellites of this series include INSAT-2E, INSAT-3A, INSAT-3B, INSAT-3C, INSAT-3E, KALPANA-1 (METSAT), GSAT-2, EDUSAT (GSAT-3) and INSAT-4A.

50.The latest machine in the series is the PARAM Padma, which reached No. 171 on the TOP500 in 2003. Others include PARAM 10000 and PARAM 9000/SS. The PARAM 10000 was India`s first TFLOPS computer. C-DAC has also developed a high performance System Area Network called the PARAMNet-II having transfer speeds of up to 2.5 bit/s.The major applications of PARAM 10000 are in weather forecasting, remote sensing, drug design and molecular modelling. PARAMs have also helped in India`s space programme.

MANUFACTURING IN INDIA

The manufacturing sector in India could grow six-fold to US$ 1 trillion, by 2025. The

rising demand in the country and the aspirations of multinational companies (MNCs)

to establish low-cost plants in India, are seen as reasons for this possible growth.

Up to 90 million domestic jobs could be created by that time, with the sector

generating about 25–30 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).

India’s rapidly expanding economy gives domestic entrepreneurs and international

players vast opportunities to invest and grow.

Manufacturing companies in Japan view India as the top destination for investments

for the next three years, as per Mr Masanori Nakano, Consul General of Japan.

India is among the least affected by the global economic slowdown and continues to

grow at about 5 per cent.

India is the fourth most competitive manufacturing nation. The country’s economy

saw massive expansion in the period 2006–2011, attaining a five-year Compound

Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.8 per cent.
