2. INTRODUCTION TO SCIENCE
 Science is the effort to discover, and increase
human understanding of how the Physical world
works. Through controlled methods, scientists
use observable physical evidence of natural
phenomena to collect data, and analyze this
information to explain what and how things
work. Such methods include experimentation
that tries to simulate natural phenomena under
controlled conditions and thought experiments.
Knowledge in science is gained through
research.

3. INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY
 Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species'
usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects
a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. In
human society, it is a consequence of science and
engineering, although several technological advances
predate the two concepts.
 The word "technology" can also be used to refer to a
collection of techniques. In this context, it is the current
state of humanity's knowledge of how to combine
resources to produce desired products, to solve problems,
fulfill needs, or satisfy wants; it includes technical methods,
skills, processes, techniques, tools and raw materials. When
combined with another term, such as "medical technology"
or "space technology", it refers to the state of the
respective field's knowledge and tools. "State-of-the-art
technology" refers to the high technology available to
humanity in any field.

4.  Science and technology has been in the forefront of transforming
the Indian economic structure helping India evolve as a globally
competitive economic powerhouse. With the available scientific
manpower--which is third largest in the world-- the Indian
science and technology has been growing well above world
average.
 While the Indian output of science, as measured by the quality
and quantity of Science Citation Index (SCI) papers, has been
growing at a CAGR of 8 per cent in the past three years, the world
average was only 4 per cent. Also, the number of technical
workforce is also increasing at a rapid clip and is set to cross the 2
million mark, with the march from one million to two million
happening in just about three years.
 Space Technology
 India is one of the few countries with expertise to conceptualize,
design and manufacture satellites and the capability to launch
them into space. In fact, it has the largest constellation of remote
sensing satellites in the world. Also, the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) is the world's third non-US supplier of 1-
metre imageries and holds nearly 25 per cent of the US$ 120-
million global free-play imageries market
