NITI Aayog Launches India Science and Technology Scoreboard to Track State Performance
Published
NITI Aayog, the government's policy think tank, has launched the India Science and Technology (S&T) Scoreboard. The new tool is designed to measure how well India's States and Union Territories are performing in science and technology.
The Scoreboard will assess the scientific and technological performance of each State and UT. By comparing their progress, it aims to show which regions are doing well and where more effort is needed. This can help state governments plan their research, innovation, and technology programmes more effectively.
Officials say the Scoreboard is an important step towards building a stronger innovation system across the country. Regular assessments of this kind can encourage healthy competition between States and make it easier to share good practices. The details of the indicators and the results are expected to guide future policy decisions on science and technology in India.
