The Government of India has launched the Prime Minister Research Chair (PMRC) Scheme, a major initiative aimed at strengthening the country's research and development ecosystem by attracting distinguished Indian-origin scientists, researchers and professionals working abroad.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday strongly defended the Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) initiative, criticizing those who mock the campaign and calling them “pessimists” who want India to remain dependent on other nations.
