The study presents a strategy for reforms in S&T education, which include decentralization of authority to empower individual institutions, towards an accountable management system. This would require mobilization of additional financial resources, and the establishment of effective quality assurance mechanisms to ensure excellence, for the optimal utilization of intellectual, and knowledge resources. 2013-08-09T20:51:12Z 2013-08-09T20:51:12Z 2000-08-30 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2000/08/693177/india-scientific-technical-manpower-development-india http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14983 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC South Asia India
