The Prime Minister was speaking at the foundation laying ceremony of the Indian Institute of Science Education & Research and the diamond jubilee celebrations of the National Chemical Laboratory.

Prime Minister Said that the India will lose the competitive advantage it enjoys in the research and development sector, if they can’t attract young and motivated people to lead the Nation’s laboratories and Research projects.

‘It is our scientific capabilities that will determine our ability to overcome challenges which lie ahead in areas such as climate change, clean energy, environment-friendly technologies, water management, affordable healthcare, food security and biotechnology,’ the prime minister pointed out

Innovators must be challenged to produce solutions the society needs in a timely manner, and must then move out of the laboratory quickly and gain wider acceptance, he said
