This question was previously asked in
TNPSC Group 2 2026 Prelims Question Paper (01-Nov-2026)
The correct answer is

(3), (4), (1), (2)

India's national science policies were issued in four stages, each widening the scope of the previous one.

The Scientific Policy Resolution was adopted by Parliament in 1958 under Jawaharlal Nehru, committing the State to foster science and scientific research.

The Technology Policy Statement followed in 1983, focusing on self-reliance and the development of indigenous technology. The Science and Technology Policy came in 2003, bringing science and technology together in one framework, and the Science, Technology and Innovation Policy was announced in 2013, adding innovation as a national goal.

So the order is (3) 1958, (4) 1983, (1) 2003, (2) 2013. The other sequences either place a later policy before the 1958 Resolution or put the 2003 policy ahead of the 1983 statement.

(3), (4), (1), (2) option is correct.
