Dekho, baat yeh hai ki India ka R&D pe kharch saalon se bas 0.64% ke aaspaas atka hua hai. Yeh duniyabhar ke dusre bade countries ke comparison mein kaafi kam hai. Jaise China lagbhag 2.4%, US 3.5%, aur South Korea toh 4.9% tak kharch karta hai. Global average bhi 1.18% se zyada hai.
R&D mein India ka Gap Kahan Hai?
Iss gap ka sabse bada reason hai private sector ki bohot kam involvement. India mein sirf 36-41% R&D private companies karti hain, jabki global leaders mein yeh figure 70% se upar hai. Aur toh aur, jo paisa allocate hota hai, uska bhi sirf 60% use ho paata hai. Matlab, funds aate hain par sahi se use nahi ho rahe. Bureaucracy ke chakkar, complex processes, aur rigid rules bhi research ko slow kar dete hain.
Research Ko Product Banane Mein Mushkil
Research ko products mein convert karna bhi ek bada challenge hai. Labs mein jo research hoti hai, woh market tak nahi pahunch paati. Iske peeche universities aur companies ke beech kamzor link aur IP protection ke issues bhi hain. Hamare paas young talent toh bahut hai, par researchers per million count bhi kam hai.
Niti Aayog Ke Solutions Kya Hain?
Ab Niti Aayog ne kuch solutions bhi bataye hain. Woh chahte hain ki R&D procurement par GST 5% ho jaye aur private investment ko badhane ke liye naye tax incentives milen. CSR funds ka better use aur individual R&D contributions par zyada tax deductions bhi suggest kiya gaya hai. Coordination ke liye ek inter-departmental committee aur Companies Act mein R&D expenditure ke liye alag category banane ka bhi idea hai.
Agar yeh sab plans sahi se implement hue toh R&D mein kaafi improvement ho sakta hai aur India 2047 tak developed nation banne ke goal ke paas pahunch sakta hai. Bas yeh bureaucracy aur execution ke hurdles clear karne honge.
