| Summary/Abstract |
The Centre for Policy Studies is an institution committed to a serious study and comprehension of the classical Indian ideas and institutions in the context of the current reality of India. The Centre grew out of the passionate concern of a few bright scientists and engineers with the inadequacy of the practice of sciences and technologies in India. Their concern arose mainly from a strong feeling that the practice of the sciences and technologies in India had little resonance with the Indian tradition of different sciences and technologies or with the current situation and problems of India, and consequently these disciplines failed to develop an internal discipline and rigour of their own on the one hand and a significant stake in the economy and society on the other. This concern later expanded to include other fields of social and academic endeavour, especially history and social sciences.
