NEW DELHI: Union Minister Harsh Vardhan today said India is continuously improving its rank in the science sector and exuded confidence that one day it would lead all other countries.
About budgetary allocations to the Science and Technology Ministry led by him, the Minister hailed the “upward trend” in fund provisions to different departments under it.
Speaking to reporters, he claimed the NDA Government’s efforts have ensured that “brain drain” has started to convert into “brain gain” for the country as over 250 scientists have returned to India since the BJP-led alliance came to power and implemented schemes encouraging the change.
Department of Science and Technology (DST) secretary Professor Ashutosh Sharma, who accompanied Vardhan during the briefing, said the Government has launched ‘Accelerate Vigyan’ scheme to train students and technicians in using machines in laboratories. (AGENCIES)
