India has a large pool of technical manpower in the world. A large number of them are renowned and highly skilled scientists who have contributed significantly over the years in various fields like atomic energy, medicines, space and Informational technology. The availability of a big pool of scientists is a great asset to India. Presently they are mostly engaged in government organisations. There is no data available at one place, on the age, sex, their fields of expertise, contributions, and qualifications etc. As India is emerging as a global power there is a need to have a data bank of such personnel who could be utilized to boost the economic development of the country. Their rich experience acquired during the course of the service could be utilized even after their retirement. In view of the globalisation of the Indian economy, there is a need to create a data bank of this critical group of personnel (Indian Scientists) at national level to utilise their rich experience and skills in formulating a future manpower policy. |
