India Science Technology And Innovation

In the year 1962, science and technology in India were not as advanced or ahead of their time. However, there was a lot of drive to become better than other countries. That is when India founded the Indian National Committee for Space Research.   This was when the space activities in the country were started. In the very same year, the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station was opened near Thiruvananthapuram. Although these were great fats in Physical Sciences in India, they were not being utilised properly.  This was when the Indian government established the Indian Space Research organisation , better known as ISRO, in 1969.   Since there were too many organisations doing the same work, the government then constituted the Space Commission and opened a Department of Space . ISRO was later brought under the same department in 1972.   What Is The Purpose Of The Department Of Space? Department of Space & ISRO were mainly founded with the aim t...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been one buzzword that is taking several industries by storm. From Siri and Alexa to coding and ecommerce, AI is leaving its imprints everywhere. There is one area that is relatively unexplored but equally exciting- AI in astronomy. Elsewhere, scientists are using AI-powered telescopes to detect objects in space. Even the national remote sensing centre is extensively using AI and Machine Learning to analyse raw data from remote sensors. An extensive number of scientists are using AI as a powerful discovery tool to assess rich and complex data. In simple words, AI is making it possible to explore a whole new world of infinite applications associated with astronomy. From creating missions to analysing complex space data, here are a few ways AI can help us with space exploration. AI in Astronomy & Space Sciences AI is increasingly expanding its influence in space sciences and astronomy. Researchers are creating intelligent assistants to help astronaut...

Malaria is a deadly disease caused by a bite of an infected mosquito. It starts with a chill followed by a high fever and could lead to damage to the heart, kidneys, lungs, and brain. Today medical sciences can answer all the questions related to malaria. Malaria is an infectious disease, but it is vector-borne, which means it needs a carrier to transmit parasites from an infected person to a healthy person. Anopheles mosquito bites a person that is infected with malaria. The mosquito draws the infected blood from that person. Now the insect has the infection and if it bites anyone, he/she will get infected with malaria parasites. National Institute of Malaria Research identifies five different types of malaria parasites. Plasmodium falciparum Plasmodium malariae Plasmodium vivax Plasmodium ovale Plasmodium knowlesi While all types of malaria have similar symptoms but Plasmodium falciparum could be fatal. It could lead to liver and kidney failure. Also, the patient could develop conv...

Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) is an autonomous body established in 1942 for the development of scientific knowledge in India. It identifies natural resources and develops those resources for industrial development in the country. Let’s discuss the big steps taken by this premier scientific institution to speed up the growth of scientific knowledge in the country. CSIR owns and operates 38 laboratories; it has 39 outreach centers at different places; 3 innovation centers and 5 units to carry out the development work. It has a large workforce including, eminent scientists and professionals with great scientific knowledge. Creation of an Institution…. CSIR established CSIR Fourth Paradigm Institute (CSIR-4PI) in the year 1988 to develop modeling approaches for the study of structure and development of complex systems. CSIR felt the need for a separate institution dedicated to developing mathematical modeling and computer-based simulations that could provide real...

Where would you look for information about science and technology in India ? If your answer is the web then you are half right. Yes, you are right that many websites can provide information about scientific knowledge in India but would those sites be reliable. India is a leader in scientific knowledge and there are reasons to believe so. And you don’t have to scan the web for information as the government is here to answer all your queries about the growth and development of scientific knowledge in the country. Here in this blog, we’ll discuss everything that the government site has to offer. Education They provide works like an e-book for knowledge hunters. It has featured articles on technical advancements made in recent years. Also, you will check how scientific knowledge is helping in the development of society. You will get an education on technology innovation in India including rural application, disadvantaged sections, specially-abled persons, unreached regions, and other soci...
