Background
Overview
UPSC frequently examines the role of science and technology in national development, particularly its application for inclusive growth, poverty alleviation, and empowering vulnerable sections like tribal communities. Government initiatives and policies in this domain are key.
Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) encompass the systematic application of scientific knowledge, technological tools, and innovative approaches to address societal challenges and foster economic growth. In the context of inclusive development, STI interventions are crucial for empowering marginalized communities, improving their quality of life, and bridging socio-economic disparities.
