'India has been making important contributions to the global knowledge pool for ages and this process continues even today,' the former chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission said.
India can build global technologies out of the pool of the knowledge available within the country and for this it is necessary that country's education system ideally provides a conducive environment to bridge the gap between research work and application of technology, former chairman of Atomic Energy commission, Anil Kakodkar said here today.
Addressing the 15th annual convocation of National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), Kakodkar said, "India has been making important contributions to the global knowledge pool for ages and this process continues even today."
But still we are vulnerable to foreign dependencies which
arises due to the disconnect that has come about between our
knowledge activity and its transformation into robust
technology."
"While the new knowledge which is output of basic research is shared globally, sharing of technology is not without constraints and costs and these are barriers arising out of commercial, strategic, political and such other considerations," he said.
"Therefore, building our own technologies out of our own knowledge pool within the country is thus of crucial importance and India has to pay sufficient attention to bridge the gap between lab achievement and translating to industrial scale," he told the students who graduated today.
Director of NITIE Dr Subash D Awale said a total of 214 students from four post graduate batches of Industrial Engineering,Industrial management, Industrial safety and
environment Management and IT Management received PG diplomas today.
Eminent academicians industrialists including Chairman of the Board of Governors of NITIE and Industrialist Adi Godrej, former Atomic Energy Regulatory Board Dr S Sukhatme were present on the occasion.
