Growth and Scope of Life Science Technologies in India
According to a report by Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, owing to the increased funding and rapidly expanding institutions, opportunities are becoming more readily available for scientists who want to work in India.
Recent research funding surges have led to the development of high-profile projects including the national nanotechnology network, which includes the approximately US$ 11 million Nanoscale Research Facility (NRF) at IIT Delhi and the US$ 40 million Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science(IISc) in Bangalore. The nanotechnology facilities were established to train experts and provide experimental facilities for scientists across all of India.
The efforts undertaken by the government and its various agencies ensure a high growth in the field of life sciences, and ensure expanded employment opportunities for many aspiring Bacteriologists across India.
