"Policymakers, Political Classes Have Short Political Horizon": Tarun Khanna

"Even the money the government is allocating to R&D is not getting properly utilised. We are having a problem converting science to commercial application. The challenge for us is that our policymakers and political classes have a very short political horizon," Tarun Khanna said.
