Year: 2015

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: This chapter discusses the evaluation of science and technology policy in India along with the fundamental values that inform the strategies and decisions deriving from it. It follows the post-independence debates and the twelve five-years plans on science and technology. The values of access, inclusion and equity are identified and analysed as the guiding principles underlying policy actions in India and explain the conceptual differences that we witness in the perception of science and technology ethics in the three regions.
