India lags behind even Kenya in research

BENGALURU: India has fewer researchers among working people than countries such as Kenya and Chile.

The country has only four researchers for 10,000 working people while Kenya and Chile have six and seven, respectively, according to Scopus database which is the world's largest abstract and citation database on scientific literature.

Analyzing this data, Nature magazine says Brazil, which has been growing scientifically, has 14 researchers per 10,000 working people, and China has 18. The UK and the US top the table with 79 researchers each followed by Russia with 58.

Nature Magazine, in its May 2015 report, also said: "India's publications generate fewer citations on an average than those of other science-focused nations, including Brazil and China."

What about the last two budgets of the current administration? Didn't they cut funding further for research in renewable energy and health care areas?

The 60 yrs of Cong misrule had driven away all researchers from India - and the money was simply looted by 10 Janpath.  NDA can accomplish more with even a reduced budget as any money will be truly spent on those real researchers is still left.

Are you conveniently ignoring the fact that of late, words, corruption & loot have become synonymous with current administration.
