change anything.” - George Bernard Shaw
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it
is the only thing that ever has.”

“You can’t solve a problem on the same level that it was
created. You have to rise above it to the next level.” –
Albert Einstein
Nothing changes if nothing changes.” Well if nothing changes, we stay the same. We don’t
grow. We don’t evolve. We don’t get better. And that’s not going to work—not for you, and
not for the world. We need positive change. We need new ideas. We need progress.

India is now ranked 52nd on the Global Innovation Index 2019, a jump of 5 places over last
year, and 29 places in the last five years – up from 81 in 2015
India maintains its top place in the Central and Southern Asia region as the 52nd ranked
economy this year.
From 81 in 2015, India’s 29-place move up the GII represents the biggest jump by any major
economy.
Thanks to its high-quality scientific publications and universities, India remains 2nd among middle-
income economies in the quality of innovation.
It maintains top ranks in a number of important indicators such as productivity growth and exports of
services related to information and communication technologies.
This year India reaches the 15th spot in global companies’ R&D expenditures.
Homework which India has done:
India is strongly committed to the 2030 agenda including SDGs.
India is trying to achieve it with research and innovation in various areas.
In 2016, India launched its Flagship innovation programme Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) which
focusses on scaling startup incubation centres and promoting innovation cultures through school
children.
One of the significant areas where India is banking on innovation to make an impact is the
development of Renewable Energy Infrastructure.
Innovative measures has also helped India’s Space Programme make huge strides.
Even launched a students satellite Kalamsat in 2019. India has made historic advances with
the launch of Chandrayaan2.
India has launched 239 satellites for 28 different countries as of October 2018.
All satellites were launched using ISRO’s PSLV expendable launch system.
ISRO successfully launched 104 satellites by a single rocket on 15th February 2017 of which 3
satellites are Indian satellites.
