Abstract

Poverty and poverty eradication was the predominant paradigm within which India's 20th century science policy was constructed. Yet, when we think of science in India today, this earlier priority of poverty eradication is now hard to find. What accounts for this? This volume asks: has the problem of poverty in India been solved? Or, has it become inconvenient alongside the rise of new narratives that frame India as a site of remarkable economic growth? Indeed, has there been a loss of faith in the ability of science to tackle poverty? Together, the essays collected explore the broader implications for the new role of science in India: as a driver of economic growth for India, rather than as a solution to the persistence of poverty
