Q. Which of the following was NOT the outcome of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy 2020?
a) One nation, one subscription
b) Research and Innovation Excellence Frameworks (RIEF)
c) Atal Innovation Mission
d) More than one of the above
Correct Answer : c) Atal Innovation Mission
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: c) Atal Innovation Mission
Explanation:
– The Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (STIP) 2020 proposed initiatives like:
• One Nation, One Subscription (centralized national access to scientific journals)
• Research and Innovation Excellence Frameworks (RIEF) to assess and incentivize quality research
– Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) is an older, separate initiative under NITI Aayog launched in 2016; it is not an outcome of STIP 2020.
– Since only option (c) is not from STIP 2020, “More than one of the above” is incorrect.
