NEW DELHI: Calling for well-planned investments in science and innovation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the future of the world will be shaped by societies that invest in these areas but collaboration and public participation will be among the key metrics.

“Future will be shaped by societies that invest in science and innovation,” the Prime Minister said in his keynote address at the inaugural function of the Grand Challenges Annual Meeting 2020.

Modi said these investments must be planned well in advance and cannot be done in a short-sighted manner. (AGENCIES)
