Temples of modern India was a term coined by India's first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru while starting the construction of the Bhakra Nangal Dam[1] to describe scientific research institutes, steel plants, power plants, dams being launched in India after independence to jumpstart scientific and industrial progress. [2][3]

These projects were part of his vision of development of modern India with a mix of heavy industries and scientific research institutes.[4]

Most of the PSUs and scientific institutions such as the IITs were created by him as part of his vision of modern India.[5]
