S&T Ecosystem

The diagram showing the Science and Technology (S&T) System in India uses a star-shaped layout to represent the six major components that together form the national S&T ecosystem. At the center is the label 'S&T System in India,' surrounded by interconnected sectors: Central Government S&T Department, Independent Research Institutes, In-House R&D in Private Industry, S&T in Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), State Government S&T Departments, and Central Socio-Economic & Other Ministries. Each of these entities plays a distinct but collaborative role in supporting scientific research, innovation, and policy implementation across the country.

The block diagram of Central Government S&T Departments outlines the institutional framework through which science and technology initiatives are governed in India. At the core is 'Central Government S&T Departments,' branching out to key institutions such as the Department of Science and Technology, Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). Additionally, the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research is shown connected to the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), highlighting its role in advancing industrial and applied research.
