Karan M had said here in the forum that unlike in the USA and China, India's military R&D model is the most efficient one. We developed world-class weapon systems with a shoestring budget. Also, several scientists opted to work in India for patriotic reasons despite getting better offers in Western countries.
My question is if the ROI in military R&D is lower than that of investment in infrastructure? Some bureaucrats or committees convinced the govt to not to significantly raise the R&D budget? I remember a minister in Modi govt saying that for every rupees spent on capital assets some X times return is there. Can't find the figure with a quick Google search.
Haridas criticised the low salary for scientists, saying if you pay peanuts you will get mostly monkeys to work for you.
