Question 

Though India now has a large base in science and technology, which is fast expanding, it is still a long way from realizing its potential of becoming a world leader in science. Name some important factors, which in your view have hindered the advancement of science in India.

Solution 

Here are some significant factors that have hindered scientific development in India: lack of infrastructure and funding for high-quality scientific research work education in science is neither correctly oriented nor guided. Depending on our demands, it requires particular directions.

Industrialists are the real consumers of new technology and research. The industrialists of this country have little confidence in the ability of Indian scientists. There is practically no coordination between scientists and industrialists. Rural science schooling is almost non-existent so that the majority of the population is deprived of the advantages of technology and science advances poor pay scales and other facilities for researchers compared to administrators.
