Technical India

As we all know India is developing every year, every month and every day and we all contributing into its development, do you want to know how? then you must read this till the end.

As we know our country has suffered a lot before independence but after independence, our 1st prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru initiated reforms to promote higher education, science and technology in India. The Indian Institutes of Technology – conceived by a 22-member committee of scholars and entrepreneurs in order to promote technical education – was inaugurated on 18 August 1951 at Kharagpur in West Bengal by the minister of education Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. More IITs were soon opened in Bombay, Madras, Kanpur and Delhi as well in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Beginning in the 1960s, close ties with the Soviet Union enabled the Indian Space Research Organisation to rapidly develop the Indian space program and advance nuclear power in India even after the first nuclear test explosion by India on 18 May 1974 at Pokhran. and then aor technology has increased day by day, till today we have  developed our technology in incredible form.

In the modern world India is witnessing the age of science and technology. in this technical education plays a huge role and There is huge demand for technical education in modern age. The pattern of life evolving in this age is very much different from the one we would find in our society even some fifty years back. Technical Education imparts knowledge of specific trade, craft or profession.

In modern and technical India in our everyday life and in every sphere of our life the influence of science and technology is becoming so pervasive that man’s existence in this world is simply inconceivable in their absence today. This is why, we need to train our people in response to the need of the time, our education must be reorganized to give it the necessary practical and technical bias. Such education alone can produce the specialized armies for making and operating the modern machines.

India has much to be proud of its scientific and technological developments. It became the first to reach Mars on its initial attempt.
It boasts a thriving pharmaceutical industry that produces low-cost medications desperately needed by the developing world.
Then, there is Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) making headlines in space sciences.
And in his first year in office, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched an ambitious plan to make India a leader in solar power.
Such successes are solace for that country of 1.3 billion people, which leads the world in many other spheres.
India, under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has had a strong focus on science and technology, realizing that it is a key element of economic growth.
Science and technology have been an integral part of Indian civilization and culture over the past several millennia.
Few are aware that India was the fountainhead of important foundational scientific developments and approaches. These cover many great scientific discoveries and technological achievements in mathematics, astronomy, architecture, chemistry, biotechnology, metallurgy, medicine, natural philosophy and other areas.
A large number of products that had been imported into the country had to be manufactured to meet both civilian and military needs. Indian substitutes had to be found for imported materials and processes had to be developed which would use these materials in place of imported ones.
In these circumstances, the government of India constituted the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, which came into existence way back in 1942.
Today, India is among the topmost countries in the world in the field of scientific research, positioned as one of the top five nations in the field of space exploration. The country has regularly undertaken space missions, including missions to the moon and the famed Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).
In October 2014, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)’s PSLV-C26 successfully launched IRNSS-1C, the third satellite in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), from Satish Dhawan Space Center, Sriharikota. This was PSLV’s 27th consecutive successful mission.
Currently, 27 satellites including 11 that facilitate the communication network to the country are operational, establishing India’s progress in the space technology domain. India is likely to take a leading role in launching satellites for the SAARC nations, and thus generating revenue by offering its space facilities for use to other countries.
In fact, there has been considerable emphasis on encouraging scientific temperament among India’s youth through numerous technical universities and institutes, both in the private and government sectors.
At present, the country has a total of 17 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), 31 National Institutes of Technology (NITs), 677 universities awarding about 29,000 doctorate degrees, and about 40 research laboratories run by the CSIR.
India is among the world’s top 10 nations in terms of the number of scientific publications. Position-wise, it is ranked 17th in the number of citations received and 34th in the number of citations per paper across the field of science and technology (among nations publishing 50,000 or more papers). On top of that, the country is ranked ninth globally in the number of scientific publications and 12th in the number of patents filed.
With support from the government, considerable investment and development has incurred in different sectors such as agriculture, health care, space research, and nuclear power through scientific research.
For instance, India is gradually becoming self-reliant in nuclear technology. Recently, the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project Unit-1 (KKNPP 1) with 1,000 MW capacity was commissioned, while the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project Unit-2 (KKNPP-2) with 1,000 MW capacity is under commissioning.
In the field of missile launch technology, India is among the five top nations of the world.
No doubt, India has been the forerunner among the developing countries in promoting multi-disciplinary activities in the field of biotechnology, recognizing the practically unlimited possibility of their applications in increasing agricultural and industrial production, and in improving human and animal life.
The nucleus of research in this area is the National Biotechnology Board, constituted in 1982. A Department of Biotechnology was created in 1986.
Recently, the Biotechnology Consortium India Limited was set up.
It will play the role of catalyst in bridging the gap between Research and Development, Industrial and Financial Institutions.
Also, massive Biotech parks were established in India while the government provided tax deduction for research and development under biotechnological firms.
Some of the recent developments in the field of science and technology in India are simply outstanding.
To this end, it is important to note that Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is taking steps toward developing its own reusable rocket using a Winged Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD).
The ISRO has launched six satellites of Singapore aboard the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C29) from Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, marking the completion 50 launches from Sriharikota since 1979.
