All students should study nuclear science with priority, then there will be no shortage of human resources for railways, thermal power plants etc. in India. There is a need for 100 gigawatts of nuclear power by 2047, so give priority to nuclear science.

Developed India is a road map for a developed country, he said, adding that economic growth will continue in a sustainable manner, not just one that increases and then decreases.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set goals such as becoming a 30 trillion economy, achieving self-sufficiency in defense, science and technology, sustainability and carbon neutrality, said NITI Aayog member, renowned missile scientist and Padma Bhushan awardee V. K. Saraswat.
He was delivering the inaugural address at a two-day seminar organized by Godavari Global Institute of Technology (GEIT) in Rajamahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, in collaboration with the Union Ministry of Science and Technology.Today.
He was speaking on the theme “Research and Innovation for Developed India-2047”.
NITI Aayog member V.K. Saraswat said that science-based solutions are needed for the problems facing the country like malnutrition, infant mortality and maternal mortality and that our scientific research should provide solutions to such problems. He said that the economy will be stimulated through research and thus the country will become a global leader.
He said that we should focus on the digital economy and achieve the goal of a trillion digital economy by 2030. He said that self-sufficiency can be achieved through research in areas such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence etc. and India can become self-reliant. He said that there is a need to achieve self-sufficiency in many other areas including the health sector.
He said that 62% of our GDP comes from the services sector, while only 14% comes from the manufacturing sector, which is a major problem.
He said that in our country, research is limited to the government sector only, this situation should change and industries should spend on research. He said that more patents can be obtained through good research.
Currently, the focus of students is on computer science, and if this situation continues, there will be a shortage of human resources for railways and thermal power plants in the country. He said that 100 gigawatts of nuclear power is required by 2047, so there are good opportunities if you study nuclear science.
He said that problems such as slow brain drain and technology transfer, lack of funds, low spending on research, and lack of autonomy need to be overcome.
Godavari Global University Chancellor K. V.V. Satyanarayana Raju, who participated in the program, said that Andhra Pradesh is also contributing to the goal of a developed India. He said that a quantum valley will be established in the state and that they are focusing on artificial intelligence.
