I appreciate the effort by the TIFAC scientists namely Shri. Arghya Sardar, Shri. Yashwant Dev
Panwar, Smt. Nirmala Kaushik and Shri. Suresh Babu for their inputs in the document.

Smt. A. Jancy, Dr. T. Chakradhar, Smt. Mukti Prasad, Shri. Manish Kumar and Ms. Swati Sharma had

industries in planning their future research as well as in achieving the set of targets mentioned
in the technology Vision 2035 document.
