Abstract

The Indian Society is standing at a crossroad. In the 2151 century every common people are finding it difficult to visualize the future course of happenings. Still they have faith that something will take place for their good in the coming years. They are sure about one fact that the future century will belong to science and technology. Computer based society will provide solution to some of the basic problems. Famines and epidemic have been fully controlled and bringing technology to our rescue will conquer the war against illiteracy. Some fundamental questions are often posed by intellectuals of this time as what is our mental readiness to respond to the requirements of a technical society? Or what our school are doing for developing the right concept and proper attitudes to technology among the young school going generation? Probably the answer to such and other allied questions will not be cherished by the destiny makers of this country. But the recently accepted new policy of education (NPE) visualized this basic problem and has laid down a great emphasis on science and technology. There are certain vital factors answerable for slow growth and development of technology in India's context. In spite of limitations. it is not difficult to inculcate desire attitude and interest among pupils towards science, if a combined effort on the part of the decision makers. curriculum framers and teachers is made.
