 "Today
India has become one of the strongest in
the world in terms of scientific manpower
in capability and maturity. Hence, we are
in a position not only to understand the
technologies that we may have to borrow,
but also to create our own technologies
with extensive scientific inputs of indigenous
origin. It is important for India to put
all her acts together to become a continuous
innovator and creator of science and technology
intensive products".
Dr. A PJ Abdul Kalam

 "We
take satisfaction from the fact that over
100 global companies have come to India
to set up R&D Centres, affirming the
intellectual capital of our scientific and
engineering community. Science must grapple
with the key challenges facing the country
today."
Dr. Manmohan Singh

 "A
phenomenal transformation in the attitude
and approach to R&D in industry has
taken place. From a 'back seat' position
a mere ten years ago, R&D in Indian
industry is now in the 'front seat' of corporate
strategy. In several sectors, business driven
research has given way to research driven
business."
Mr. Kapil Sibal

 "India
is one of the hotspots for innovation of
low cost and high quality products and services.
Now we can enter the complex high technology
areas."
Dr. R. Chidambaram

 "The
current S&T ecology does not seem to
provide either physical income with career
opportunities matching other service sectors
or psychic income derived from uninhibited
pursuits of passion with science."
Dr. T Ramasami
|

 "The
challenge was how to continue to tap the incredible
dynamism of global R&D so that Indian
institutions and companies could assume the
leadership in creating high-wage jobs and
building new industries"
