Science & Technology Government - Human Resources Govt to lift embargo on hiring scientists Our Bureau Hyderabad, Oct. 15 The Union Government is planning to recruit scientists in significant numbers to give a fillip to various public-specific research programmes, according to Mr Kapil Sibal, Union Minister of Science and Technology. The Government is willing to lift the embargo on recruitment of scientists in some institutes under the Ministry of Science and Technology. “We are currently preparing documents to lift the embargo on recruitment of scientists in the Ministry of Science and Technology and Earth Sciences,” he told newspersons at a press conference here on Monday. “We will be filling up hundreds of positions of scientists soon. Efforts are also on to make scientific positions in Government research institutes lucrative,” the Minister said. Attractive incentivesOn the disparity in remuneration between public research institutes and corporate houses, Mr Sibal said “any Government in the world cannot match the remuneration in corporate sector.” However, a strategy is being chalked out to attract and retain scientific talent in scientific institutes. “We are preparing a whole range of incentives for scientists to attract and retain scientists,” he said. The proposed incentives would include, among others, not less than 30 per cent share licensing revenues generated out of intellectual property creation, better housing and transport from home to place of work. When asked about a likely Tsunami in the UPA Government on the issue of nuclear agreement with the US, Mr Sibal said there was nothing to add to what the Prime Minister and the UPA Chairperson had already stated on the issue.
