With the setting up of a dedicated public research program in nanotechnology (through the nano mission) in May 2007, the state support for nanotechnology R amp; D in India has become institutionalized. This has enabled nanotechnology to assume a privileged position within the public policy...

The nanotechnology regulatory regime in India, in concomitance with the technology itself, is fast emerging and is marked by new discoveries and their applications across disciplinary fields. Although both are emerging, this dynamism is not a two-way phenomenon; the technological developments...

Regulatory oversight of emerging technologies in the case of developing countries has historically been a touché topic. Primarily because regulation per se is seen as unfriendly to business ventures entering as yet uncharted areas of technological evolution that holds a promise of positive...

Technology has occupied an important and largely unquestioned status in the development agenda of the Indian state over the last few decades. Technology solutions covering a wide field, viz. rural energy solutions through to nuclear technology have been systematically supported through state...

The present paper examines how a developing country like India is competing in the nanotechnology race. Our study shows that both upstream scientific and technological capabilities and downstream regulatory capabilities are being strengthened. India has clearly made a dent in terms of scientific...
