The Indian diaspora reflects the multiplicity and variety of the rich social, ethnic, religious and cultural diversity of the land of its origin. With the emergence of a new range of opportunities and challenges across diverse sectors and themes, including economic growth, trade or post-crisis recovery and realising sustainable development goals, collaborations with Diaspora communities are considered very vital. To take forward similar efforts in India, demands for increased collaboration with Indian Diaspora communities, which are significant stakeholders in the STI policy process. A step towards this objective is laid down with ‘STIP2020 Consultation with Indian Science Diaspora’, chaired by Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Hon’ble Minister of Science & Technology, Earth Sciences and Health & Family Welfare. The consultation will focus on in-depth interactions with eminent Indian Diaspora and thought leaders from around the globe to know their ideas and vision for  Nation’s Science, Technology, and Innovation ecosystem. Suggestions emerging from these discussions will directly serve as inputs to the STIP2020 policy process.

STIP 2020 Secretariat invites Indian diaspora across the globe to be part of this consultation and join us live to post your thoughts and inputs.
