dc.description.abstractThe historical progress of science planning in Sri Lanka follows the general pattern in which the initial phase was institution-building to promote scientific research.The unique feature durind the first two decades of this century was the assemblage of agricultural and medical science bringing world-wide reputation to the country.This initial thrust resulted in the establishment of an exceptionally good infrastructural base for scientific research.An event of significance just prior to independence was the formation of the Chemical Society of Ceylon,which initiated the formation of the Ceylon Association for the Advancement of Science,and also negotiated with the colonial administration to get recognition for a high level Scientific Advisory Committee.The years that followed independence were characterized by the efforts to indigenize science and create an autonomous apex organization for promotion of research and science planning.structure in which one organization assumed ministerial ranking.The final section traces the efforts made by governmental and non-governmental organizations to initiate the process of science planning in Sri Lankaen_US
