With a view to promote biotechnology in North-Eastern Region (NER) of the country, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), under the Ministry of Science and Technology, government of India, has allocated 10% of its total annual budget towards biotechnology-backed development activities in the region.
Towards this commitment, DBT established the North Eastern Region-Biotechnology Programme Management Cell (NER-BPMC) in 2009-10, functioning through Biotech Consortium India Limited (BCIL), for implementation and monitoring of biotechnology programmes in the NER.
Apart from continuing the ongoing projects in North-East in various areas of life sciences and biotechnology, during this year, 30 scientists/faculty have been selected for bringing advancement in the biotechnology and life science related activities in various institutions of research and higher learning in the NER under ‘DBT-NER Visiting Research Professorship (VRP) Scheme’.
