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. Its best scientists are returning home as institutes and laboratories get equipped with state-of-the-art R&D facilities and the country’s science policy becomes innovation-friendly. While India basks in this global attention, the Nature Publishing Group (NPG) has launched ...
