Bharat Ratna awardee #CNR Rao Said ,Noting that all the money for science and technology But Our Research Is Zero,
"In spite of a large number of institutions, India is not doing as well in terms of the amount of scientific research that comes out of the country," he said as he expressed worry about its quality.
Rao said India will have to first invest in education to improve the quality of research in the country. "Our investment in education is just 2 per cent of the GDP of which hardly 0.4 per cent is for higher education...," he said.
"Unless we improve our science and technology institutions how can we ever come up with startup companies, innovations. All those have to come from these institutions."
Stating that he represented "small science", Rao complained that most of the money for science in the country goes to "big science", referring to atomic energy and space science
