Abstract
TOWARDS the end of 1943, Prof. A. V. Hill, one of the secretaries of the Royal Society, was invited by the Government of India to visit that country and discuss the organization of scientific and industrial research as part of the Indian post-war reconstruction plan, and its co-ordination with corresponding activities in Britain. Advice was also sought on current research problems, with visits to universities and other research centres. Prof. Hill was thus enabled to obtain a view of the position and progress of science and industry in India more comprehensive than has been vouchsafed to anyone since the examination of the industrial resources of the country carried out by the Indian Industrial Commission under the chairmanship of Sir Thomas Holland during the War of 1914–18.
