A distinctive science and technology (S&T) strategy has shaped the post-colonial and post-independence development of India, a developing nation with a colonial heritage. India, a country of about 1.40 billion people, has not depended on food imports since the 1960s. The advancement of agricultural science and technology has been aided by the Green and White Revolutions. In fields including information technology, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and space research, India enjoys a comparative edge because to its innovation system, which includes higher education. India, however, behind East Asian nations in terms of economic competitiveness in technology-based businesses and export promotion. With over 550 million workers, or over 95% of the total labor force, 90% of whom are eighth-class dropouts, India's informal economy presents a significant issue.There is a discrepancy between science policy theory and reality in India, where gross domestic product-based investment on research and development has decreased from 0.8% in the 1990s to 0.7% in 2020. The objective of this study is to critically examine the assertions and counterarguments that influenced India's success, rather than to extol the virtues of science and policymaking.
