Its really pathetic.The Government is not all interested in R&D.They are more concerned playing dirty politics like reservation.
Look at china.they are investing huge money on R&D.Chinese economy is driven by passionate Entrepreneur.
There are 100 institutes related to R&D under the umbrella of CSIR.bu the no of patents resulting from them is very few.this clearly shows the problem these institutes are facing.
Its high time they come out with concrete strategy to resolve this issue.
