MoES GoI

Advancing Coastal Science for the Nation! The @CentreCoastal under the aegis of the @moesgoi works to understand and manage India’s diverse coastal regions through scientific research and advanced monitoring. Through satellite observations, field surveys, and digital platforms such as the Coastal Flood Warning System, Shoreline Assessment System, Integrated Flood Warning System and SAHAV Portal, NCCR supports informed coastal planning and management. On its 28th Foundation Day, we salute the dedicated scientists and researchers whose work helps protect India’s coastlines and support coastal communities. 🎥 Take a look at the journey driven by science and service. #NCCR #MoES #FoundationDay @narendramodi @DrJitendraSingh @Ravi_MoES @PMOIndia @PIB_India @mygovindia @Indiametdept @incoismoes @CentreCoastal @ncmrwfmoes @NCS_Earthquake @iitmpune @MoesNiot @cmlre_kochi @ESSO_NCESS @ncaor_goa

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 National Exhibition-cum Technical Meet, held at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, was inaugurated by Prof Ajay K Sood. Addressing a gathering of exhibitors and delegates, Prof. Sood highlighted the importance of science-led solutions for societal challenges, emphasizing the role of innovation in driving inclusive and sustainable development. The event featured the unveiling of the mission logo and the release of the S&T-SANKALP Resourcebook, focused on knowledge-driven action for livelihood promotion. It brought together stakeholders from various ministries, researchers, and innovators to foster collaboration and integrate science and technology into India’s livelihood architecture, paving the way for resilient and future-ready rural ecosystems. #MoES #DAIC #NationalExhibition @narendramodi @DrJitendraSingh @Ravi_MoES @PMOIndia @PIB_India @mygovindia @Indiametdept @incoismoes @CentreCoastal @ncmrwfmoes @NCS_Earthquake @iitmpune @MoesNiot @cmlre_kochi @ESSO_NCESS @ncaor_goa

Dr. M. Ravichandran (@Ravi_MoES), Secretary, @moesgoi, visited the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (@ncmrwfmoes) on March 18, 2026, marking a significant step towards strengthening the centre’s infrastructure and scientific ecosystem. During the visit, he inaugurated the renovated auditorium ‘Ambar’ and dedicated a 5 MW feeder power line from UPPCL, enhancing the centre’s operational capacity and reliability. He also inaugurated newly developed meeting rooms-‘Avani’, ‘Anil’, ‘Ambudhi’, and ‘Jimuta’-equipped with advanced online video conferencing facilities to support seamless scientific collaboration. The Secretary interacted with scientists and was apprised of the recent advancements and ongoing initiatives at NCMRWF, reflecting the centre’s continued progress in Advancing Weather Forecasting and Earth System Sciences in India. #MoES #WeatherScience #NCMRWF @narendramodi @mygovindia @PMOIndia @OfficeofDrJS @DrJitendraSingh @PIB_India @Mib_India @PIBEarthScience @incoismoes @MoesNiot @Indiametdept @ncs_earthquake @CentreCoastal @esso_ncess @iitmpune @cmlre_kochi @ncaor_goa
