Dear Arun We have an Open Science policy in the first chapter of the 5th National Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy, 2020 (STIP), document (draft). There are ten policy areas identified for action in this chapter on Open Science. One Nation One Subscription (ONOS), one of these ten areas, which is now into planning and implementation process, is an outcome of this policy. National Research Foundation (NRF) which has a mention in the FY2021 budget of the Government of India with a plan outlay of Rs.50,000 crore is also an outcome of this policy. Why this policy document is still in draft stage but not an officially declared document is a mystery though.
