INDIAN TECHNOLOGY IN THE PAST
Ancient And Medieval Phase Of Technology
Post-Independence Phase Of Technology
ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL PHASE OF
TECHNOLOGY
• Town Planning and Infrastructure
• Medicine and astronomy
• Warfare
TOWN-PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE
• The Indus Valley Civilization had modern facilities like
water reservoirs, canal irrigation, hydraulic engineering and
even flush toilets.
• There were methods of standardization which were used in
architecture.
• Dams, bridges, wells, ponds, step-wells like the Great Bath at
Mohen-Jo Daro were also built during this period.
MEDICINE
• The Heritage Of Ayurveda

• Maharaja jai singh ii built the ‘jantar mantar’ observatories
in Delhi and Jaipur in 1724 and 1727-34 respectively.
WARFARE
• Rocket artillery and other advanced weaponry extensively
used In both ancient and medieval warfare especially by
ruler tipu sultan against the British in Mysore.
NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Description of a weapon in the Mahabharata.
(it was) a single projectile Charged with all the power of the
Universe….The corpses were so burned As to be
unrecognizable. The hair and nails fell out; Pottery broke
without apparent cause, and the birds turned white. After a few
hours All foodstuffs were infected....
• Openheimer believed that the first atomic bomb was used in

POST INDEPENDENCE PHASE OF
TECHNOLOGY
• 18th August 1951- Maulana Abul Kalam Azad inaugurated the
first IIT (Indian Institute Of Technology) at Kharagpur, West
Bengal.
• 1957- Akashvani was created in 1957.
• 1958- Defense Research and Development Organization was
formed.
• 1960s- India acquires EVS EM computers from Russia.
• 1966- Apsara Reactor became
operational
INDIAN SPACE PROGRAM
• First Rocket Launching Station at Thumba, Thiruvananthapuram,
Kerala- 21st November, 1963. Dr. Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai
were instrumental in developing the launching station.
• Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was developed the
same year.
• The First Satellite- Aryabhatta I was launched in 1975.
INDIAN TECHNOLOGY AT PRESENT
POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS
• In the last decade , there has been more than 45% rise in the
scientific publications, which is more than any other Asian
nation.
• Five of the IITs in India have been lauded as the best
technology schools in the whole continent.
• The ISRO has gone on to develop electric propulsion systems
for boosting work performance of satellites.
• The recent successful launch of the Agni V missile has made
India secure in defense systems.
• The IT industry is flourishing in the country.
FACTS TO BE LOOKED INTO
• India has only 140 researchers per 1,00,000
people. The figure in USA is nearly 4,651.
• As in 2002-2003, India’s total expenditure on
science and technology was merely $3.7 billion.
• China invested $15.5 billion, while Japan pegged
a figure of $124 billion.
• In 2003, only 1% of India’s GDP represented its
expense in research and development.
MAJOR PROBLEMS IN INDIA
• Unanimous opinion suggests that India does not lack funds
but there is lack of ethics.
• The technology industry is dominated by government,
resulting in inefficiency.
• Ambitious projects like the 3G spectrum allocation have
fallen prey to scams and fraudulent practices.
• There is lack of efficiency in publishing research findings
and patents for new technologies. Researchers don’t get
the right due for their hard work.
OTHER FACTORS
• Restrictions on FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) deprive
India from the latest advanced technology.
• Brain Drain- Qualified and brilliant scientists are forced to
work abroad as local environment is poorly developed.
• Poor development and utilization of locally developed
technologies.
BENEFITS OF R AND D EXPENDITURE
• In Finland, the total expense on R and D from the
GDP rose from 1.5% in 1985 to 3.2% in 2001.
• The results- there was substantial increase in the
country’s GDP/ export ratio.
• In the same year, Finland’s labor productivity was
nearly 100%.
• India needs to take a cue and improve its R and D
expenditure. But it has many hurdles to face.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
EXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS
• The Cable Amendment Act 2012 aims to making
digitization of TV sets mandatory.
• Indian government plans to integrate cloud computing
technology in the IT industry.
• Government telecom companies to bring in 4G connectivity
soon.
THINGS THAT INDIA NEEDS TO DO
• Build a better infrastructure for
science and technology.
• Increase expenditure on research and
development.
• Bring about transparency in the
industry.
• Provide researchers with better work
amenities, opportunities and
incentives.
HOW WILL FDI HELP
• FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) will let foreign
countries and companies to introduce the most
advanced technology in India.
• To ensure this, the restrictions and hurdles need to be
overcome.
• The Reserve Bank Of India has been assisting foreign
companies in bringing in investment in Indian
businesses.
CHANGE IN ATTITUDE
• India needs to revise many of its current policies on
exports, imports and technology expenditure.
• The indigenous sources of technology need to be pooled
together and local scientists should be given recognition.
CONCLUSION
• India has a great history of technology.
• Post-independence policies and recent hurdles have made
matters a bit difficult.
• India needs to amp up its investments in R and D and
lower restrictions on foreign inflows.
