Key Issues
Enable National Research Institutes to become Profit Organizations - Fiscal Impetus will stimulate Quality and further investments in R&D
Drive Global Service Providers to consider India as a R&D and Services Hub-Maximize Intellectual Capital Growth-Maximize Utilization of Talent from Indian educational institutes which shall eventually enable maximizing the ‘Indian Talent Pool’
Inclusion of R&D in PSC with Cost Recovery Incentive-Drive E&P companies to increase investments in R&D
Formation of an Apex Body-OIDB?- For promoting, monitoring and benchmarking of Technology programs
