CPI MP P Sandosh Kumar questioned the Indian government's contradictory statements regarding the first state to implement a science and technology policy. Initial claims favored Gujarat, while later statements acknowledged Kerala's precedence.


The article from Devdiscourse discusses the discrepancies in government statements regarding India's first science policy, which was introduced in 1958 by Jawaharlal Nehru. It highlights that while the policy was initially celebrated for laying the foundation for scientific research and development in India, recent government statements have shown inconsistencies in acknowledging its historical significance and impact. Some officials have downplayed its role, suggesting that the policy was more of a vision document rather than a comprehensive policy framework. This has led to confusion and debate among policymakers, scientists, and historians about the true legacy of the 1958 policy. The article points out that these discrepancies could affect current and future science policy frameworks, potentially undermining the historical contributions of early Indian science policy architects.
