Small Sector Scores in In-House R and D

The kind of R and D in Indian industries which has resulted in the development of new products and processes has been concentrated in the small-scale sector. A majority of the licensees of NRDC, which has exclusive rights to license CSIR technologies, are also small-scale units. On the other hand, much of the R and D undertaken by large firms has been in the nature of adapting imported technology.
