India and China are the fast emerging economies in the world. It is more based on technological improvements rather than by using factor inputs such as labor and capital. Recent estimates of total factor productivity growth lend some empirical support to this hypothesis. There are also reports of number of innovations emanating from the two countries. Both the countries have become increasingly integrated with the rest of the world although China has a better record than India. In China the post 1993 acceleration was concentrated mostly on industry, which contributed nearly 60% of China’s aggregate productivity growth. In contrast 45% of the growth in India in the second sub-period came from service sector. The presentation discusses science and technology policies of India over the period and analyzes its impact on the growth of Indian economy in various sectors like drugs and pharmaceuticals, aeronautics, R&D services, architectural and engineering services and communication services.
