Year End Review 2023 of the Department of Science and Technology. India retained the 40th position in Global Innovation Index among the top innovative economies globally as per Global Innovation Index (GII) 2023. Indian scientists have achieved the incredible feat of winning the prestigious Nobel Prize in all three areas of Science! Today, India is at the forefront of cutting-edge technology, including advancements in tokamak, neutrino research, gravitational waves, scramjets, human space missions, and emerging technologies. The future is bright for Indian innovation and scientific discovery!
India is at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies, including 5G, artificial intelligence, blockchain, augmented and virtual reality, machine learning, deep learning, robots, natural language processing, and more! The Emerging Technologies Division of MeitY is leading the charge in promoting and encouraging the adoption of these innovative technologies across the country. Get ready to witness the incredible advancements and possibilities that lie ahead!
India is quickly becoming a powerhouse in high-performance computing thanks to the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) propelling it forward.
Leading the charge is PARAM Shivay, the first supercomputer built entirely in India, followed by PARAM Shakti, PARAM Brahma, PARAM Yukti, and PARAM Sanganak.
In the realm of Quantum Computing, numerous initiatives are underway to train students and researchers, such as the National Mission for Quantum Frontier and the National Mission on Quantum Technologies and Applications, along with the Quantum Computing Applications Lab.
When it comes to Blockchain Technology, India has established the National Blockchain Framework, a comprehensive infrastructure that includes blockchain-as-a-service, geographically distributed nodes, and initiatives to raise awareness and develop human resources.
An exciting development is the Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology, launched in 2023 as a collaboration between India and the U.S. This framework focuses on critical technologies like artificial intelligence, semiconductors, quantum computing, and wireless telecommunication.
And let’s not forget India’s achievements in Science and Technology! As a key member of the ‘International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor’, India stands to benefit greatly from the success of this experiment. Imagine the possibilities – using thorium instead of uranium for power generation, achieving a global role in satellite navigation, improving the efficiency of fission reactors, and even building fusion reactors for power generation. The future is bright for India in the world of science and technology!
