Nature India - Indian version of Nature Journal
It is boom time for Indian science. The country’s scientific stock has grown in leaps and bounds over the last decade - perhaps one of the few positive spin-offs of its burgeoning population. Riding high on an enviable scientific demography (Inature-india.JPGndia produces over 0.1 million science post doctorates annually), she is making a mark worldwide as a knowledge superpower. Today, India is one of the best outsourcing hubs for the information and technology industry. The country has emerged a major global production centre with hundreds of multinational companies in the manufacturing and pharmaceutical sectors setting up research and development centres here.
Reverse brain drain is a happy reality for India.

While India basks in this global attention, the Nature Publishing Group (NPG) has launched Nature India in an attempt to capture the region’s rapidly changing scientific and economic scenario as also India’s urgent efforts to embrace globalization.
