Abstract

Science, technology, and innovation (STI) policies are crucial for addressing a nation’s anguishes and aspirations. In today’s era, countries worldwide recognize the significance of innovation for their economic survival. With aspirations to be a global power in innovation, India has emphasized incubation, innovation, startup ecosystems, and triple helix linkages. This paper examines the evolution of India’s STI policies, highlighting the influence of domestic and international events on their development. The study focuses on three policy types: direct innovation policies, five-year plans, and national-level educational policies, to trace the milestones in India’s policy journey. The authors conclude that changes in the domestic and international landscape significantly impact a nation’s STI policies, as exemplified by India. The recent Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy of India 2020 draft reflects an effort to adapt to the evolving global scenario.
