Dr. Nisha Mendiratta highlighted that @IndiaDST is playing a pivotal role by coordinating two key national missions — the National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change and the National Mission on Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem. These missions are advancing the critical interface of research, policy and on-ground implementation to build resilient and sustainable systems. @karandi65 @iitroorkee @NishaM_DST

My Address after laying foundation stone of Rs 42 cr BioFoundary at the ‘National Agri-Food and Biomanufacturing Institute’ #NABI #Chandigarh: Key takeaways: “In the emerging global food scenario of lab foods including  animal free lab milk and lab mutton, the world is faced with rising global protein demand and environmental concerns requiring alternative and sustainable solutions. And therefore, “smart proteins” developed through microbial fermentation, plant biotechnology and synthetic biology offer a scalable and sustainable pathway for the future of food.  BioFoundaries like this can serve as ‘Smart Protein Forum’ bringing together research and industry to accelerate innovation in this emerging sector. The new facility will provide advanced infrastructure including large-scale fermenters, upstream and downstream processing systems, and high-throughput experimental platforms. It will also support #StartUps and industry through scale-up, pre-commercialisation and technology transfer, while also serving as a skill development hub for young professionals and entrepreneurs in biotechnology”.

Laid the foundation stone of India’s first dedicated BioFoundry Centre at “National Agri-food & Biomanufacturing Institute #NABI, #Chandigarh, under Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, with an outlay of ₹42 crore over two years. In an age when the world is exploring options of food security through “smart foods”, this facility will enable scaling of advanced agri-food biomanufacturing, including processed proteins, bio-inputs and bio-based products, bridging lab research with industry and thus also strengthening India’s bioeconomy.

“The highlight of this year’s Foundation Day of "Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council" #BIRAC is that, as per the India Bio Economy Report #IBER2025 released today, India achieves a quantum rise in bio-economy, touching the figure of 195.3 billion U.S. dollars. This is significant , particularly because before the Modi government came in 2014, India's bio-economy stood at mere 10 billion U.S. dollars, which means that there has been a nearly 20 times hike in just over a decade. This milestone is in keeping with the collective realisation that the next industrial revolution is going to be biotechnology driven and the entire paradigm of economic growth is going to shift from IT to majorly Biotech and, when that happens, India would have already taken a lead. Similarly, while in 2014 the number of biotech #StartUps in this country was just around 400, today it is nearly 12,000, which is again quite a record. While congratulating the entire fraternity and the industry for this synergised effort, it is important to mention that, this success story has been possible primarily because of an enabling milieu and patronage provided by PM Sh @NarendraModi, who not only made sure that India was among the first few countries in the world to launch a dedicated Biotechnology policy called #BioE3, but he also made it a point to publicly announce this in his Independence Day address of 2025, calling upon the youth of the country to explore the biotechnology sector to discover a bright future for themselves”.

A landmark step towards accelerating India’s industrial growth! The Union Cabinet has approved Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna (BHAVYA). This will enable the development of 100 plug-and-play industrial parks, boosting manufacturing, investment and jobs across the nation. The scheme will significantly enhance Ease of Doing Business through streamlined approvals and single-window systems. It will boost logistics and services sectors too. pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…

#Nature - Long before they were confined to the northeast, Indian one-horned rhinoceroses roamed the entire northern subcontinent. A study by @BSIP_official - @IndiaDST reveals that climatic shifts and human pressures pushed the species eastward over the past several millennia, making the Brahmaputra floodplains their stronghold. @DrJitendraSingh @karandi65 @Nature @NatureInd 🔗 #ref-CR1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/d4415…
