One way, I think, this goal of indigenous technological development can be achieved is by fostering a spirit of innovation and native problem solving in the minds of already brilliant Indian students. Innovation has to be made glamorous so has contributing back to the nation.
The most important thing in this direction I feel is the presence of role models that the young minda can emulate. There are already many Indian innovators who have done great globally. We need to inspire a breed of patriotic innovators who want to innovate here and sell abroad, instead of the other way round. Educational institutions can play a pivotal role in this direction. We need to make our educators innovators too. As they are the first role models for the students. The basic instinct of enquiry and self problem solving should be encouraged in students.
