In the emerging knowledge driven world, India will require individuals with sufficient skills, professional agility, and technical acumen to serve as its development engines for science and societal well-being. This contribution intends to begin a discussion about contemporary post-doctoral research programmes, the possibility of establishing a national cadre for a planned and careful intake of quality students, as well as broad basing their training. Synergies in sciences for resource optimization and, accountabilities in the science, as also in its administration including finance, will be critical to Indian science.Keywords
Innovation, postdoctoral fellowship, science, technology.Full Text
