Abstract
Today science and technology have not only become vehicles of growth but also act as potential instruments for social transformation. Science and technology mean knowledge and knowledge means power. The idiom of power means control of people too. The class of people that had a visible control over the state, ultimately possessed and controlled the new source of power. It is the case even today. It is now widely recognized that science is not value-free and technology is not neutral. All inventions for masses have ultimately degenerated into class-based conveniences. So, conscious efforts have to be made to make masses the masters of science and technology, rather than making them subservient to it.
