‘Shortage of quality manpower’

BANGALORE: The three-day international conference on e-science and grid computing concluded here on Thursday with a call to broad base the research in science and related disciplines.

Union Minister of State for Planning M.V. Rajsekharan, who delivered the valedictory address, said that India had only 1.6 lakh experts engaged in research and development while it was 13 lakh people in the U.S. He said despite its total population being less than one-third of India’s population, the U.S. was able to engage more in research. He said in India only 110 persons per million were engaged in research and development compared to 4,500 per million in the U.S.
