has 2.3% of world researchers and accounts for 1.6% world spending on R&D
shares 3.5% of World research output
contributes to World publications the most highest in agricultural sciences, plant and animal sciences and chemistry (Pharmaceuticals)
has still has low research impact (0.68 compared to world’s average of 1)
researches, but 45% of her research papers receive no citations at all
was at 14th position in terms of Patents application in 2012 and 17th in terms of Patents granted (China is at 2nd in terms of Patents application no. 3 in terms of patents granted)

ChallengesProbable Resistance for Performance Based Evaluation in Research Institutes
Unresponsiveness of Industry towards this Initiative
Poor R&D expenditure to GDP ratio
Improvement in Research quality
To reach out to young talent
To increase full time R&D Professional
Monitoring of publications output by public funded research projects
Evaluation of project grant sizes
Rewarding performance
Increasing the volume share of India in scientific publication
Measuring Success
Yearly review of the impact of the agency through following yardsticks
• No. of research papers published by India
• No. of patents filed and accepted by India
• Ranking of India in citation index
• No. of researchers / no. of inhabitants in India
• Volume share of industry in research publications
