The present article traces the course of science policy formulation and science funding in India. While in the pre-independence period the private trusts and endowments played a pioneering role in encouraging higher studies and research in science, it is the Government which has been the major fund provider since independence. The article further highlights the thrust areas in various science and technology policy resolutions adopted since independence.
