India's gross expenditure on research and development (R&D) as a percentage of its GDP is approximately 0.64%. This % has remained static at about 0.64% since 2019-20 and remains significantly lower than many other developed and developing countries. For example, the United States spends around 2.9% of its GDP on R&D, China spends 2.6% while countries like Sweden and Switzerland spend 3.2% and 3.4%, respectively. Israel spends over 6% making it an innovation powerhouse. Becoming Viksit and Vishwaguru depends on how much India can innovate and develop. Even that 0.64% of GDP we spend is mostly on government R&D institutions where time pass and puerile careerism is a way of life.
