Right from the days of stone tools to the modern days of robotic assembly lines, societies which were technologically ahead not only gave better material conditions to it’s members but also heavily impacted on the value systems of the society, encouraging values like rationalism which, in-turn, paved way for further progress. History is witness to the fact that science has fundamentally changed human civilizations. Whether it was the stone age or the modern age of bio-technology and space exploration, man has been continually metamorphosing his immediate environment to suit his needs of the day. Science cannot be denied the credit for solving many of the human problems, if not all. 2. In ancient time India had strong tradition of scientific enquiry and rational analysis. The world owes the zero and the decimal systems to India. After independence we have been trying to catch up with lot of progress and achievements. It is for this reason that various departments under the Ministry of Science and Technology were inaugurated so that India could rise to the challenges of modern civilization which are predominantly technological in nature. 3. The Department of Science & Technology (DST) was established in May, 1971 with the primary objective of promoting new areas of Science and Technology and to play the role of a nodal Department for organising, coordinating and promoting S&T activities in the country. The mandate given to DST include, among others: Formulation of policy statements and guidelines on S&T Promotion of new areas of scientific research Co-ordination of inter-Departmental S&T efforts Support basic and applied research in universities and other institutions International S&T Co-operation Support high quality research in autonomous bodies where specialization ranges from advanced medical research materials to astronomy. Catalyzing S&T interaction in societal programmes, and entrepreneurship development Science popularisation, communication and S&T Management Information System Promotion of Commercialisation of home grown technology Support to technology development programmes, technology information and assessment Surveying & Mapping (Survey of India and National Atlas & Thematic Mapping Organisation) Meteorology (IMD) Technology Development and Application 4. In consonance with its philosophy of fostering and promoting science and technology, the Government of India has assumed major responsibility of supporting S&T activities in the country. Over the years, the investments in S&T sector have stepped up significantly. From an allocation of Rs. 349 crores in the Seventh Plan to the Department of Science and Technology, the investments have gone up to Rs. 1192 crores in Eight Plan and Rs. 1497 crores in the Ninth Plan. A provision for Rs. 3400 crores has been made in the Tenth Plan. Recent initiatives taken by the Department include: * Mission mode programme on seismology. * National Mission on Bamboo Applications. * Major programme on drugs and pharmaceutical research & development. * Nano Science & Technology Initiatives (NSTI) * Setting -up of Instrument Development Board. * Strengthening National Innovation Foundation to promote grass root level invention * Women Scientists Scholarship Scheme. * Swarnajayanti Fellowships for outstanding young scientists * Fund for Improvement of S&T Infrastructure (FIST) in universities and related institutions * Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana. * Technopreneur Promotion Program (TePP). * Institution and announcement of India Science Award 2004. * Establishing high performance computing network facilities for research purposes * Executing Joint Technology Development projects with industry and socio-economic Ministries * Modernizing autonomous research institutions * Setting up of a National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration (NABL) * Setting up a Patent Facilitating Cell to provide support to scientists and technologists on all aspects of patenting. * Creation of Technology Business Incubators. BUDGETARY ALLOCATION 5. The Budgetary Estimates of the Department of Science & Technology for the year 2006- 2007 are placed at Rs.1746.00 crores (Plan Rs.1340.00 crores and Non-Plan Rs.406.00 crores) compared to last year’s B.E. and R.E. were Rs.1636.00 crores and Rs.1446.00 crores respectively. The Committee has been informed that the reason for reducing the allocation at RE stage is the non approval of EFC in the case of National Mission on Nano Science and Nano Technology which resulted in a reduction of Rs.200.00 crores. Further, the CCEA decision to dissolve the Pharmaceutical Research and Development Support Fund (PRDSF) was obtained only in January, 2006. As a result, the allocation of Rs.150 crores made available in BE for this purpose could not be fully utilized resulting in a reduction of Rs.44.50 crores. No new programmes have been introduced in 2006-07. However, the rise in allocation is from Rs.1240.00 crores (Plan) in 2005- 06 to Rs.1340.00 crores (Plan) in 2006-07, which represents an increase of 8.06%, is a normal growth to cater to increased level of activities within existing programmes. 6. The Committee has been further informed that the percentage increase in total allocations, both Plan and Non-Plan in BE 2006-07 as compared to B.E. 2005-06, is 6.7% i.e. from Rs.1636.00 crores to Rs.1746.00 crores. The comparing increase in Plan allocation is from Rs.1240.00 crores to Rs.1340.00 crores, which represents an increase of 8.06%. 7. On being asked about the projected demand of the Department of Science and Technology for B.E. 2006-07 and whether the allocated funds were sufficient for carrying out the activities of the Department, the Committee has been apprised that the projected demand for the Department of Science and Technology for BE 2006-07 was Rs. 1437.00 crores (Plan) but the allocated funds were sufficient as the shortfall of Rs. 97.50 crores can be absorbed by suitable planning of activities and expenditure. 8. When asked about the head-wise quarterly expenditure as well as total expenditure of the Department for 2005-06 along with the reasons for non-uniform pace of expenditure, the Department furnished the Grant wise/Major head-wise expenditure, which are as under:- ( in % ) Major Head June 2005 Sept.05 Dec.05 Total upto Dec. 05 3425 15.55 27.65 13.28 56.49 3451 29.83 24.57 24.20 78.59 3455 24.56 21.22 23.28 69.05 5425 03.48 14.94 46.32 64.74 7425 00.00 00.00 00.00 00.00 5455 00.79 00.38 06.14 07.32 9. The Committee was informed that under the Major Head 3425, expenditure up to December, 2005 was 56.49% as against the required level of 67%. The shortfall was on account of non approval of EFC in the case of national Mission on Nano Science and Nano Technology and the late approval for dissolution of the Pharmaceuticals Research and Development Support Fund (PRDSF).
