scientific and technical progress In this group of countries on the Import of technology and technological processes wll I begin to dec I lne already In the near future. Their economic, scientific and technical potential wll I be determined more and more by the effect of their own research departments and their cooperation in the elaboration of problems with similar organizations In Industrially developed countries. SOVIET EXPERIENCES IN CO-OPERATION An example of successful International cooperation of a developing country which has already built up a substantial scientific and technical potential ~lth other states Is the practice of cooperation between Soviet and Indian specialists. Our country has not only provided assistance In building nearly 100 large projects many of which are key enterprises of Indian Industry but also actively participates In creating scientific centres at a number of universities (In Delhi, Bombay. Hyderabad, Madras). At some enterprises bultt with Soviet assistance large research and development organizations have been set up, e.g., the Institute for Designing Metallurgical En t e r p r I s e s I n Ran c h I , r e s e a r c h an d de v e I o p men t I n s t I t u t e s I n Baroda and Dehradun, and the Organization for Designing Thermal Power Stations at the Central Power Commission of India. Soviet special lsts have organised the training of about ao,ooo skilled workers and technicians and over 4,000 Indian specialists have been trained In our country. In recent years joint Soviet-Indian research and development projects have been growing In scale, In particular under the space exploration programme. This programme has not only contributed to the advance of space exploration In India, but has helped to solve a number of geological tasks and contributed- to 
**Analysis**
The text primarily focuses on the cooperation between Soviet and Indian specialists in the field of science and technology, highlighting the transfer of technology, training of skilled workers, and joint research projects. It also mentions the impact on India's industrial development and economic growth. This suggests that the text is more concerned with the application of scientific and technological advancements rather than the pure scientific research itself.
