Long time ago some membe had posted link to a book about incubation of talent.
That book covered how even a small country can achieve success in a project when they dedicate themselves to a cause. Population and Fund crunch not withstanding.
I lost the book when my computer went kaput. Hence why I asked.
Anything below tier 3 college does not produce engineer, they produced degree holders.
Fault lies in the gov and college management as well, they don't really try to invite Firms to setup research labs in their campuses. That is limited to tier 1 college and some tier 2 such as BITs, VIT(Mercedez, Siemens, Honeywell) KIIT(Siemens, Mercedez, lyly)
Even my friend who works at JSW says they don't make any effort to inidgenize complex subsystem. Relays, scada Cards, Sensor, interlock all come from Japan.
Altho to be noted Jindal has delved into Nuclear application in Steel industry at the behest of BARC.
How is it calculated.
It was 81 in 2014 and 46 in 2022.
We will probably crack 30 by 2030.
R&D is the exclusive preserve of the Post-Industrial rich countries, a poor country like ours hasn't even started a successful industrialization journey
Most R&D funding and facilities come from the private sector and after that it's the govt/academic.
Private sector here is utterly bania tier, they just want to do the bare minimum and chug along, no innovation, no need to indeginize any subcomponents or processes since it doesn't increase their profits
, very few suit boots also compete globally except in IT coolie field,I think Mahindra exports tractors world wide, Bajaj has conquered the African motorbike market from Chineez and Mukes exports a lot of refined petroleum products, but that's about it.
Now tell me, why will you invest in R&D if you are a suit-boot private sector lala? What benefit does it bring you? you don't face cut-throat competition so you have no need to innovate, your costs can be reduced by simply importing from China or outsourcing, why start rolling your own or buying from domestic suppliers.
Now coming to the Sarkari -> Academic funding, once again we live in a poor country where Revdi is needed to win elections, so you have to allocate a large budget for "welfare schemes", what remains for R&D? why will you boost such a budget? even the Defense budget is sub 3% of GDP today inspite of us facing a 2 front threat from both our enemies
You can literally import over top-tier Indian talent from the West provided you can pay them the same or better salaries or facilities, but ofc uske liye paise kon dega? for the machines and other expensive equipment also cost money to do research on, who will pay for that? chindi, lazy private sector or a Govt that has it's priorities messed up?
Truth is abhi R&D aur "Innovation" ki aukaat nahi hai, maybe in the future
