The Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC), an autonomous technology think tank under the Department of Science & Technology (DST), has planned to come up with a white paper on strategising revival of Indian economy after COVID-19.
The key focus is reported to be on strengthening Make in India initiatives, commercialization of Indigenous technology, developing a technology-driven transparent Public Distribution System (PDS) among others.
Secretary, DST Professor Ashutosh Sharma said that navigating the way ahead with the COVID-19 virus required well thought out actions which could minimize adverse impact on human health and maximise economic well being. TIFAC’s team of scientists from a range of disciplines are exploring the best methods to revive the Indian economy and reduce the impact on it post COVD-19.
