Lincoln nternational research partnerships have played a critical role in increasing food availability in many developing countries. Among the most successful examples of such partnerships is the Green Revolution, which had significant impact upon developing nations like Mexico and India. During the early 1940s, Mexico imported half of its wheat; India experienced widespread famine during 1963. But as a result of the Green Revolution, Mexico became self-sufficient in terms of crop production by 1956 and was exporting half a million tons of wheat by 1964. Similarly, India became self-sufficient with the assistance of the international research community and funding from the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations. Today, India annually exports 4.5 million tons of rice. Irrigation, fertilizer, and seed technologies were keys to these international successes.

Health is a major concern of today's age. The development of information technology and computing changes the entire arena of life and the gradual development became responsible for the emergence of Digital Society. Information Technology is about the collection, selection, organization, processing, management and dissemination of information and similar contents viz. data and knowledge. For this task and affairs, several information technological tools have been used and it is increasing rapidly. Today it is very difficult to find out an area where utilization of information technology is absence. Hence healthcare is not an exception. Digital Health becomes an important concept these days for the creation of digital health and medical contents. Similar to other areas like Digital Business, Digital Marketing, Digital Education, Digital Health become a concept and key strategy for the development and modernization of healthcare affairs powered by Information Science and Technology. The integration and combination of information technology and computing create a separate domain and branch called 'Health Information Science'. However, it is important to note that it is also known as Health Informatics nomenclature in the line of UK based academic units. Initially, the branch was mainly popular in the western countries and developed countries but gradually it is rising as a branch of study in a country like India. Private universities in India are rapidly increasing and the growth, initiative of private initiative is noticeable. This paper is conceptual in nature and deals with aspects of Health Informatics including its growing trends as a program of study in private universities in India.

Information Science as a subject is an important interdisciplinary knowledge cluster and is very much close to Information Technology and Computer Science. But Information Science also deals with some other knowledge gradients such as Information Studies, Knowledge Management and hence Management Science. Still, MTech or BTech programme is mainly popular in India, it's neighbouring countries and some UK Asian countries. As far as Information Science with MTech is concerned, not a single programme available on this nomenclature; but huge possibilities are there to introduce such programme with mixing up Engineering faculties with existing Information Science schools. Thus, this paper discusses about Information Science, it's changing nature, and also about need and potentiality of five years integrated MTech-Information Science programme.
