Consider this. With 40,813 doctoral degrees in science and engineering granted in 2018, India ranks third globally in the number of PhD graduates in these fields every year, after the US and China. In terms of annual research publications, India ranks fifth, with a 5.4 per cent share (after the US, China, the UK and Germany, which have 21.8 per cent, 18.7 per cent, 6.5 per cent and 6.2 per cent shares, respectively). But when it comes to new patents, India lags badly. In 1976-77, the number of Indian patents in force was 2,746. By 2017-18, that number had risen to 8,830. In the same period, the number of international patents in India rose from 19,780 to 47,934.
