Notes
- 1.
Thirty-two scientists, all holding high posts at research institutes and laboratories, have written to the Prime Minister of India and asked him to ‘free’ the management of science and technology from the thickets of bureaucracy. A part of their note says, ‘eliminate bureaucracy which dominates the management of science and technology today so that the sector is freed from serious impediments’ [3].
