ASHOK PARTHASARATHI The book is a survey of the scientific scene including policy organisational and aspects relating to science from the period up to 1800 to the present day. However, the bulk of the book is on the period since independence, with the period up to 1947 essentially in the nature of a backdrop. The authors deal with the agencies and organisations for scientific research in considerable detail with their comments; other sections look at with science academies, professional scientific societies, scientific journals and non-governmental organisations involved in science and technology, significant successes and failures, reasons for failures and the future outlook.

Science in India: The First Ten Years Ashok Parthasarathi Baldey Singh The first decade after independence saw the building up of the physical infrastructure for manpower training and scientific research and development, the setting up of new scientific agencies, the definition of specific policies for science and industry and the beginnings of the process of linking industrial research with the socio-economic planning process. All these developments were underpinned by a strong shared perspective between the leading science managers and the head of government in regard to the contribution which science could make to national development.
