NITI Aayog Launches a New Discussion Paper on India's R&D Future!! To shape India's technological and economic future, we must move beyond mere planning to create a bold 10-year Vision backed by a robust execution strategy and rigorous accountability. NITI Aayog launches its latest Discussion Paper: "Beyond Planning: India's Urgent Need for a 10-Year R&D Vision, Action, and Accountability" Co-authored by Ms. Debjani Ghosh, Distinguished Fellow, NITI Aayog, and Shri Sharad Sharma, Founder, ISPIRT, the new discussion paper provides a deep comparative analysis of China's strategic R&D initiatives, highlighting key insights from their targeted investments, rapid patent growth, and integrated innovation ecosystems. Key insights include identifying and prioritizing strategic sectors for targeted R&D investment, accelerating industry-academia collaboration through integrated innovation ecosystems, establishing rigorous accountability mechanisms to ensure disciplined execution, maintaining policy continuity and robust investment frameworks to drive sustained innovation. To achieve technological self-reliance and global leadership, India must significantly enhance its R&D investments, streamline collaborative frameworks, and adopt an execution-focused approach. Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has consistently emphasized that innovation must be India’s foremost priority—making swift, decisive action absolutely essential. We invite industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and innovation enthusiasts to engage with this critical paper and contribute to shaping India's strategic roadmap toward global technological leadership by 2035.
