A national science and technology policy has been formulated and adopted by the government. It has laid down the directions for S and T activities and research, institutional and manpower development, dissemination and documentation facilities. The national council for science and technology (NCST) determines S and T policies, reviews the activities of different institutions and provides directions toward S and T research and development.
Taking into account the importance of information and communication technology in the global economy, the present government has renamed the Ministry of science and technology as the Ministry of Science, information and communication Technology. Different programmes such as setting up of an information Technology institute, IT villages and incubators and Hi-tech parks are also being taken up.
