BioE3 POLICY BUILDING BHARAT'S BIOFUTURE 24 August 2024 marked a defining moment in India's biotechnology journey. The Union Cabinet, chaired by Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, approved the BioE3 Policy (Biotechnology for Economy, Environment and Employment) — India's first dedicated national biotechnology policy. The goal: accelerate innovation, strengthen green growth, and build a future-ready bioeconomy through high-performance biomanufacturing. One year on, that vision continues to shape Bharat's biofuture. #Biomanufacturing #Bioeconomy #GreenGrowth #AatmanirbharBharat @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @BricDbt @bric_ils @HydNiab @FollowDbtNibmg @NIPGRsocial @NImmunology @BRIC_CDFD @DBT_NCCS_Pune @ICGEB @DBT_inStem @DBT_NBRC @RGCB_Trivandrum @DBT_IBSD @THSTIFaridabad @unescorcb @CSIR_IND @ICGEBNewDelhi @BIRAC_2012

Addressed the gathering after releasing the Book “UNBROKEN: My Battle with Cancer”, authored by Cancer survivor and eminent Scientist Dr Akhilesh Gupta. Key Takeaways: "The book 'UNBROKEN: My Battle with Cancer' is much more than a personal memoir, it chronicles an extraordinary journey of courage, resilience, integrity and unwavering faith in medical science. Non-communicable diseases have emerged as one of the country's biggest public health challenges. Cancer, Diabetes, obesity, fatty liver disease and other metabolic disorders are rising across all regions and are increasingly affecting younger populations. However, several cancers are now curable or manageable if diagnosed early, followed by prompt medical intervention. India's response to the growing burden of Cancer, Diabetes, obesity and other non-communicable diseases must move beyond hospitals and become a mass public movement. The country today not only requires greater dissemination of evidence-based health information but also a check on the alarming spread of misinformation, particularly relating to nutrition, diet and obesity".

The 21st century will be the century of Biotechnology." Delivering the keynote address at the launch of the Roadmap on "Building India as a Leading Bioeconomy Powerhouse by 2035," @DrJitendraSingh, Hon'ble Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Science & Technology, highlighted India's remarkable transformation into one of the world's fastest-growing bioeconomies. He emphasized that with pioneering achievements in vaccines, genomics, gene therapies, biomanufacturing, and biotechnology innovation, India is not merely participating in the global biotechnology revolution but is helping shape it. Stressing the importance of public-private partnerships, mission-driven innovation, and a robust startup ecosystem, he reaffirmed the Government's commitment to accelerating research, strengthening biomanufacturing, fostering entrepreneurship, and positioning India among the world's leading biotechnology powers. The roadmap marks a significant step towards realizing the vision of a biotechnology-powered Viksit Bharat, driving economic growth, sustainable development, and global leadership in the emerging BioCentury. #Bioeconomy2035 #DBTIndia #Biotechnology #Bioeconomy @rajesh_gokhale @BricDbt @NABI_India @bric_ils @HydNiab @NIPGRsocial @NImmunology @BRIC_CDFD @DBT_NCCS_Pune @ICGEBNewDelhi @DBT_NBRC @RGCB_Trivandrum @DBT_IBSD @THSTIFaridabad @unescorcb @FollowDbtNibmg @BIRAC @NITIAayog @able_indiabio
