A silent infection. A ₹2000+ test. Days of waiting. This is the reality of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) today. But what if diagnosis took just hours—and cost under ₹100? Scientists at CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute have developed the UAST kit—fast, affordable, and usable even without advanced labs. Less Time. Targeted treatment. Less antibiotic misuse. A breakthrough that could transform women’s #health—especially in rural India. @CSIRCSMCRI1 @DrJitendraSingh

Delighted to visit CSIR - National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML), Jamshedpur. Interacted with the Scientists and discussed on various research activities. Addressed the entire NML community and stressed on the importance of Self Reliance in Materials and the need for research in advanced materials. As Chief Guest at the Symposium on Remaining Life Assessment (RLA) attended by scientists and industrialists of the country, called upon the need for developing advanced models and mechanisms for assessing the remaining life for predictive maintenance, refurbishment, and repair. Visited the research and production facilities at Tata Steel. Held discussions with the engineers and top management on producing large scales of various materials. @CSIR_IND @CSIR_NML

My remarks after releasing two NITI Aayog reports on easing research and development processes: "The @narendramodi government has taken a series of enabling steps including opening up sectors such as Space and Nuclear Energy to private players and creating dedicated mechanisms like the RDI fund. Private sector too should accelerate its participation in R&D activities. Ease of Research calls for systemic reforms with a change of mindset. Focus has to be on improving funding access, reducing bottlenecks and encouraging philanthropy".

Good News for Deep-tech followers: The "National Quantum Mission" launched by PM @NarendraModi in 2023, has achieved 1,000 km secure communication milestone in less than 3 years, even though it's target was to achieve 2,000 km secure communication capability in 8 years. Moving on fast track, Quantum Mission has also increased it's #StartUp tally from 8 to 17 within a short span of time, with 9 new deep-tech ventures. The newly StarUps are working on areas ranging from quantum biosensors for disease detection and photon sensing technologies to quantum positioning systems, atomic memory and precision electronic systems. The newly supported startups include Sense-XT, ORVISSEMI, QuBeats, Quantum AI Global, bloq, GDQLabs, Quantum Biosciences, Bumble Bee Instruments Pvt. Ltd., and SAS Qute Electronics Pvt. Ltd. At the same time, for the first of it's kind Rs 1 lakh crore Research Development Innovation (RDI) Fund rolled out by the government to accelerate the private sector, the Technology Development Board (TDB) has received over 100 proposals within two months of issuing a call, indicating growing industry interest. The initiative seeks to ensure both innovation and scalability in emerging sectors such as 6G, advanced manufacturing, space technologies and biotechnology.

After the success of Aroma Mission, the #FloricultureMission launched by the #CSIR is also registering one success after the other. Close on the heels of Tulip success, the “Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology” #IHBT #Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first in the country to develop a comprehensive agrotechnology package for unique flower growth #Peony (Paeonia lactiflora). This breakthrough opens new avenues for high-value floriculture, especially in India’s high-hill regions, boosting farmers’ income and sustainable agricultural growth.

The latest issue of CSIR TechConnect brings together a wide spectrum of breakthrough technologies—from sustainable infrastructure and advanced materials to healthcare, environment, and smart manufacturing.
