Role of Science & technology in today’s world

Science and technology is important because it influences most of the aspects of everyday life including food, energy, medicine, transportation etc. Science improves human life at every level from individual comfort to global issue. Technology plays a major crucial role in making our lives easy and comfortable. Edward Teller says that “The science of today is the technology of tomorrow”. Science and technology are interlinked in such a manner that they produces miracles in our life. Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of explanations and predictions about nature.  From technology, we get various technical knowledge such as advancement in agriculture, development of chemical industries, medical technology, software engineering etc. Science and technology helps in increasing the intelligence of workers, quality of products. In short, science and technology acts like a platform for a better life. Science and technology have helped in the development of nuclear technology, development of satellites, biotechnology, meterological science, space technology, wireless communication etc. The advancements helps in the favourable conditions of country’s growth and increase healthy competition nationally and internationally. If we use science and technology in a specific manner that it would result in a very comfortable life.

Role of Science and Technology

Science and Technology has made breakthrough in every field whether it is agriculture, irrigation, industry, transport and human development is described below one by on.

1. Science and Technology help in the management of water and land resources.
2. Geological, Geo-Physical and Geo-Chemical tools obtain information of deep structure of lithosphere.
3. Some national centre for medium weather forecasting with supercomputing provide information in advance to farmers about various farming activities in view of the expected weather conditions.
4. Joining rivers, constructions of rivers valley projects, providing energy and many other infrastructure facilities are invaluable progress provided by science and technology projects.

Science and Technology plays vital role in the modern life and profoundly influenced the course of human civilization. Technological advancement in the modern life has provided us lots of remarkable insights all over the world. Scientific revolutions has taken its full speed from the 20^th century and has become more advance in the 21^st century. We have entered to the new century in the new ways and with all the arrangements for well being of the people. Modern culture and civilization has become dependent over the science and technologies as they have become integral part of life according to the need and requirement of the people.

Our country has become an important source of the creative and foundational scientific developments and approaches all across the world. All the great scientific discoveries and technological achievements in our country have improved the economical status and have created many new ways to the new generations to grow in the technologically advanced environment.

There are many new scientific researches and development have been possible in the field of Mathematics, Architecture, Chemistry, Astronomy, Medicine, Metallurgy, Natural Philosophy, Physics, Agriculture Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, Astrophysics, Nuclear energy, Oceanography and other areas.

Introduction of scientific researches, ideas and techniques to the field of education has brought a huge level of positive change in the new generation and provided them variety of new and innovative opportunities to work in the field of their own interest. Modem science in India has been awakened by the continuous and hard efforts of the outstanding scientists. Scientists in India are great who have made possible the scientific advances of highest international calibre.

Technological development in any field enhances the economy of any nation. In order to improve the power of science and technology in India, Indian government has made Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in the year 1942 and Board of Scientific and Industrial Research in the year 1940. In order to emphasize the growth of science and technology in the country, Indian Government has established a chain of national laboratories and research institutes in various regions.

After the independence, our country has been involved in the promotion of spread of science for the national development. Variety of policies made by government has emphasized the self-sufficiency and sustainable growth and development all through the country.

Both science and technology have impacted the economic growth and social development in the country in extraordinary manner.
