Technology Vision 2035, Putting Science to Use

The Prime Minister unveiled the ‘Technology Vision Document 2035’ while inaugurating the 103^rd Indian Science Congress on 3^rd January 2016. The document foresees the Indians of 2035, and technologies required for fulfilling their needs. It is not a visualization of technologies that will be available in 2035, but a vision of where our country and its citizens should be in 2035 and how technology should bring this vision to fruition. The document is dedicated to late Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, the former President of India. The Prime Minister in his foreword to the document hoped that the 12 Sectoral Technology roadmaps being prepared by Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council, (TIFAC), which is also the author of this ‘Technology Vision 2035’ document, would excite our scientists and decision makers.
