Abhay Karandikar

I have a profound sense of satisfaction and gratitude as well as pride in what we have achieved together. I am fully confident that @IndiaDST will continue to scale new heights in advancing science for national transformation. My best wishes to the entire @IndiaDST family for the journey ahead.

As I come to conclusion of my tenure as Secretary, @IndiaDST soon, it marks my final formal interaction with this extraordinary scientific fraternity. It has been a deeply enriching journey—working alongside committed scientists, researchers, policymakers, and institutions who are shaping the future of our nation.

As I addressed the celebration of #56thFoundationDay of the Department of Science and Technology @IndiaDST, chaired by Hon’ble Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh ji @DrJitendraSingh, it was time to reflect on my close to three-year journey with the department, working with colleagues towards placing science at the fulcrum of Viksit Bharat, a nation that is technologically self-reliant, and globally competitive.

#DSTFoundationDay #56YearsOfDST For 56 years, science has powered India’s progress, from ideas to impact, from innovation to nation-building. As we look ahead, @IndiaDST continues to enable discovery, empower innovators, and shape a future driven by knowledge and technology. @PMOIndia @DrJitendraSingh @karandi65 @Dhana_Arumugam1 @PrinSciAdvGoI @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @moesgoi @PIB_India @mygovindia
