The CSIR Decision A Serious Threat to Indian Development

to Indian Development Amulya Kumar N Reddy The ostensible and "real' reasons for the government decision on the reorganisation of the CSIR suggest that the decision may he part of a much wider scheme. Hence, the matter is very serious. That being the case, the manner in which the decision was taken not only seems casual, but also contradicts completely the government's promises of widening participation in, and decentralising, decision-making. The whole modus operandi does not augur well for the future.
