From a news item in Science magazine: "The India Science Report, released this week, combines information from a massive public survey with data on the country's higher education sector. The $500,000 exercise, commissioned by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) and executed through the National Council of Applied Economic Research in New Delhi, identified 8.74 million science graduates (those with college-level education in science). Another 1.8 million persons have advanced scientific and technical degrees, including 100,000 with Ph.D. degrees....The data encompass the country's 200 universities and 12,000 colleges, which together spend more than $6 billion a year on research."
