First, the basic sciences India needs to invest more widely and deeply in scientific enterprise
UNESCO Institute for Statistics, India invests about 0.8% of its GDP on research and
development, and supports 156 researchers per million of population.
Figures for China are 2%, and 1,113, respectively.
Germany standing at 2.9% and 4,363 researchers
U.S. at 2.8% and 4,231.
In 2000, China- invested only about 0.9% of its GDP on research and development,
But this was steadily ramped up and in 2010 stood at 1.71%.
India invested 0.74% in 2000, and increased this to 0.82% in 2010.
While China took it up to 2.1% in 2016, in India it came down to 0.63% in 2015.
These figures ignore the reality of what science has become in the last two decades.

An urgent prescription
India needs to shore up public sector capacity for making medicines
India is rightly acclaimed to be the pharmacy of the world, with its huge private sector
capacity for producing branded and unbranded generic drugs.
Much of this growth took place after India opted for process patenting over
product patenting in 1970.
This changed to a product patent regime in 2005, providing sufficient time for growth
of the generic drug industry in the private sector.
However, this period has also seen the decline and near disappearance of public
sector capacity for manufacture of drugs and vaccines.
That is a cause for worry
Beyond profit motive- Public sector capacity- Supply at affordable cost.

ContinueCompulsory licensing (CL) is a mechanism permitted by theTradeRelated Aspects
of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement to enable countries to issue licences
to domestic drug manufacturers to produce and affordable generic versions of lifesaving
drugs needed for meeting serious public health challenges that are of extreme urgency.
India has used the CL route previously to permit two Indian companies, Natco and
Cipla, to produce a potent anticancer drug
This enabled a 32fold reduction in the cost of the drug
Public sector capacity for manufacturing life saving drugs under a CL is the
much needed
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), which are needed for drug manufacture
(formulation), are now mostly imported from China- Makes India highly vulnerable

ContinueUse of PSUs will offer an opportunity to produce drug volumes for use in primary and
secondary care facilities as well as help in „benchmarking‟ drug costs
Effective implementation of the Ayushman Bharat initiative calls for investment
in expanding public sector capacity for producing essential drugs and APIs
This also embodies(प्रतीक) the spirit of Make in India
