## ANSWER

## वाणिज् यवव द्यग ााज् यं ्रीस् वतं ््रभााा(स्रींतंरीिरंमलााीरीतंाांि( THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRIMATI NIRMALA SITHARAMAN)

- (a) & (b): Madam, no such proposal is under consideration. However, this Department has launched a scheme namely 'Modified Industrial Infrastructure Upgradation Scheme (MIIUS)' in 2013 to upgrade infrastructure in Industrial Estates/Parks/Areas and in Green Field projects of backward areas, including North Eastern Region. Thirty (30) projects (Annexure-I) have been sanctioned  involving  Central  Assistance  of  Rs.  734.62  crore,  and  after completion, it will improve/create industrial infrastructure in selected clusters, attracting more industries in these clusters, mitigating unemployment.
- (c) & (d): Yes  Madam,  Science,  Technology  and  Innovation  (STI),  2013  envisages increasing  Research  and  Development  (R&D)  expenditure  to  2%  of  Gross Domestic  Product  (GDP)  with  enhanced  participation  of  private  sector. India's  Gross  Expenditure  on  Research  and  Development  (GERD)  as percentage of GDP has remained so far less than 1% as compared to the developed  and emerging economies despite increase in absolute terms. At present, R&D investment in India by Public Sector and Private Sector is in the ratio of around 70:30. Thus, Government is the major investor in R&D in India,  whereas,  in  most  of  the  Developed  countries,  the  situation  is  just reverse. Increase in R&D expenditure as percentage of GDP would largely depend of increase in the R&D spending by the private sector. Since last 10 years, private sector investment into R&D has increased substantially.
