S&T Core Support of the Department aims at building
up requisite S&T capabilities in the State Secretariat
for cooperation under the complementary promotion effort.
This support has played a very critical and important role
in facilitating State S&T Councils in planning formulating
implementing and coordinating scientific activities in their
respective states. Department provides core support primarily
for technical manpower along with minimum required support
manpower. The Core Support has resulted in dovetailing various
programmes of Central Scientific agencies and Departments
with the programmes of State S&T Councils particularly
in areas such as Science and Society Popularization of Science,
Technical Entrepreneurship Development, Natural Resource
Data Management system and micro-hydel generation of power.
This support is provided in the form of annual grant to
the concerned State S&T Councils. The councils are required
to provide information in a modularly designed format which
incorporates critical information required for programme
promotion. As a result of conscious effort made by DST,
it is now possible to identify an officer in State councils
corresponding to almost all State S&T oriented programmes.
The programme has encouraged development of officer oriented
working system in the council with the progressive lowering
of the ratio of technical to ministerial manpower in the
desired range. With the aggregate of ratio of approximately
1:1. The identification of requisite expertise with the
State S&T council have contributed to the development
of Joint Programme Promotion. This support has facilitated
State S&T Councils to embark upon novel initiatives
resulting in a number of success stories.
