New Delhi: The leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the past 10 years boosted science in India and placed the country on the world pedestal, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology, Jitendra Singh, said on Thursday.
Singh said this while unveiling a report titled ‘A Decade of Science & Technology Panorama for Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ at the Vigyan Bhavan here on Thursday.
“A decade of science based on the three pillars of self-esteem and empowerment of the scientific community, technology becoming a way of life, and success stories in science & technology have placed India on the world pedestal," the Minister said.
