At the 99th edition of the Indian Science Congress held in Bhubaneswar Orissa, Minister of Science and Technology Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh announced that India will pursue a “well-balanced, transparent and evidence-based science policy”.
Since he has stressed that the policy will be evidence-based, here is my recommendation - The Minister should issue a strong statement rejecting homeopathy and astrology as sciences and withdraw all government support for these fields.
oh.. and make Ben Goldacre's Bad Science compulsory reading in High School / College.

Evidence-based science policy makes about as much sense as liquid-based beverages
