    Open AccessV Krishna, V V KrishnaARTICLEScience Technology and Society2022

    India was perhaps the only country among the developing world with a colonial past to have organised and established national science community much before it attained its independence. Nehruvian science and technology (S&T) policy in India’s formative years left a distinct imprint in the post-colonial and post-independent India. With a huge population of nearly 1.35 billion people, India is not dependent on food on outside countries since the 19…

  • Building Science Community by Attracting Global Talents

    Open AccessV Krishna, V V Krishna et al.ARTICLEScience Technology and Society2015

    Small developing countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa are still struggling with the institutionalisation and professionalisation of science. Many countries in these regions are yet to establish science communities. Singapore case becomes all the more interesting and exemplary as this small country was able to build a small but vibrant science community in relatively a short span of time. As will be shown through the case study on ‘Biopolis…

  • Trends in Brain Drain, Gain and Circulation

    Open AccessJaspertap Singh, V Krishna et al.ARTICLEScience Technology and Society2015

    The concepts of brain drain, gain and circulation in the Indian context presents a fruitful sociological and policy relevant experience to understand the phenomena as it unfolded over many decades. As this essay demonstrates, 1960s to 1980s emerged as the phase of brain drain. The country witnessed considerable economic growth and development of S&T infrastructure coupled with the emergence of science community and intellectual climate in the 199…

  • Internationalisation of R&D and Global Nature of Innovation

    Open AccessV Krishna, V V Krishna et al.ARTICLEScience Technology and Society2012

    Till the end of 1980s, offshoring of R&D (Research and Development) by TNCs (Trans National Corporations) were mainly confined to industrially advanced countries, particularly among the ‘Triad’ (US, Europe and Japan). Even if TNCs moved to the developing countries, during the early to mid-1990s, their R&D activities were mainly restricted to ‘one way technology transfer’ or oriented towards ‘adaptive R&D’ rather than ‘creative R&D’. This study fi…

  • Government, University and Industry Relations

    Open AccessDeepak Sardana, V Krishna et al.ARTICLEScience Technology and Society2006

    The triple helix is considered an important concept because it not only advocates partnerships among government, industry and university/public research institutions, but it also claims (explicitly or implicitly) to provide strategy for innovation. The present study was undertaken in 2001 to understand the relevance of triple helix in the context of biotechnology in the National Capital Region of Delhi in India. The empirical research conducted t…

  • Science in Africa

    Open AccessRoland Waast, V Krishna et al.ARTICLEScience Technology and Society2003

    This paper represents a diagnosis of the changes going on in scientific professional practice in Africa (south of the Sahara, excluding South Africa). Thefree market approach and economic crisis have led to the dissolution of the national-based research systems, which had been elaborated in the 1960s and 1970s. With institutions disintegrated and their profession in ruins, researchers have been pushed into what became a free market for scientific…

  • Phasing Scientific Migration in the Context of Brain Gain and Brain Drain in India

    Open AccessV Krishna, V V Krishna et al.ARTICLEScience Technology and Society1997

    Five decades of India's experience of migration of highly qualified personnel (HQ P), as presented in this paper, broadly falls into three distinct but overlapping periods, namely: 1940s to 1960s; 1970 to 1980s; and 1990s and beyond. In the post-indepen dence period up to the 1960s, India did not really experience the trend of brain drain. The demand pattern created by the official policies to expand the university sector and strengthen the infra…

  • The Emergence of the Indian Scientific Community

    Open AccessV Krishna, V V KrishnaARTICLESociological Bulletin1991Cited by: 3References: 3

    The growth of science organized in terms of specialist groups or small communities sharing a set of 'social' and 'cognitive' values to explore and advance systematic knowledge is a recent historical development.2 The centrality of science in the transformation of modern societies was, to a large extent, the result of what Ben-David (1971) refers to as the growth of professionalization associated with the emergence of effective scientific communit…
