How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- ESTIC 2026 is a science, technology and innovation conclave inaugurated by the Prime Minister in New Delhi.
- The Anusandhan National Research Foundation was established under the ANRF Act, 2023 to seed, grow and promote research and development across universities, colleges and labs.
- Technology translation means moving research from the laboratory to field-level or commercial use, a recurring theme in India's science policy.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS3 (Science and Technology): India's research output often fails to convert into field or market outcomes. Policy responses such as ANRF, industry-academia linkages and outcome-based funding aim at translation, but depend on private R&D spending, talent retention and last-mile adoption. The way forward is measurable targets, stronger industry participation and access for startups and state institutions.
