With this in view, DRDO has taken the momentous step of setting up five Young Scientists' Laboratories working in five niche technology areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, cognitive technologies, asymmetric technologies and smart materials," Sinha said.He made the comments while addressing the 41st DRDO Directors' Conference.Mishra said the five labs will offer a useful template of research and development in the field of emerging technologies in the country."Their success is essential for our country gaining pole position in this global race, where shelf-life of products as well as technologies is getting increasingly shorter. This is a bus we cannot afford to miss, if we want to achieve a decent quality of life for our citizens," he said.Urging the young scientist labs to not work in silos, the top official in the PMO said that these labs "should be kept abreast with associated researchers in related fields and the requirements of the industry."Mishra suggested the success mantra of three R's -- Requirement, Resources and Relevance -- to the young DRDO scientists as key factors in determining the country's quest for advancement in emerging technologies.He said that a mechsm also needs to be evolved to monitor the progress against the stated objectives, and constantly update with international developments in related fields.
