NEW DELHI, May 5 : Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology; Earth Sciences and Minister of State for PMO, Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Dr. Jitendra Singh on Monday chaired a comprehensive review of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), calling for bold new directions in science-driven growth, including AI-led innovations, deep tech StartUps and enhanced infrastructure sharing.
\nThe meeting saw the Minister focus particularly on the evolving role of the newly constituted Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), as well as ongoing national missions like the Geospatial initiative.
\nDr. Jitendra Singh held detailed discussions with Prof. Abhay Karandikar, ANRF\u2019s newly appointed CEO, Dr. Shivkumar Kalyanaraman and other senior officials of the Ministry. During the meeting, Dr. Kalyanaraman presented an ambitious vision for the ANRF, promising catalytic funding mechanisms, deep integration with private industry, and strategic missions modeled on globally successful institutions such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) and DARPA.
\nIn a significant step aimed at boosting indigenous innovation, ANRF is preparing to launch a \u201cSmall Business Deep Tech Innovation\u201d programme, which will empower startups and MSMEs to scale breakthrough technologies for real-world applications.
\nRecognising the need to better utilise existing national research infrastructure, the Minister reviewed ANRF\u2019s plan to create a \u201cCloud of Research and Innovation Infrastructure,\u201d a digital platform that would offer deep-tech startups and academic institutions access to underused scientific equipment and facilities across the country. This move is expected to democratise research capabilities, especially for smaller players who often lack access to high-end lab tools.
\nAmong the major scientific thrusts discussed, the ANRF\u2019s \u201cAI-for-Science\u201d initiative took centre stage. The programme aims to leverage artificial intelligence to accelerate discoveries in physics, chemistry, and biology by using machine learning to model complex scientific equations.
\nThe Minister directed the ANRF leadership to kickstart a few select projects under this initiative and demonstrate tangible outcomes in the near term. He also encouraged the CEO to engage with university Vice Chancellors to raise awareness about the ANRF mission and opportunities for collaboration.
\nIn another key direction, Dr. Jitendra Singh asked the ANRF to explore the possibility of helping medical colleges establish their own medical research parks \u2014 a move that could boost clinical innovation and local biotech entrepreneurship. The Minister further underscored the importance of building an indigenous \u201cIndia AI Open Stack\u201d \u2014 a foundational AI architecture embedded with science and engineering models tailored for Indian researchers. This, he noted, could position India as a global frontrunner in AI-driven scientific applications.
\nDr. Jitendra Singh also revisited the concept of \u201cdeep science-to-deep tech acceleration,\u201d urging the ANRF to focus on converting academic research \u2014 such as publications and patents \u2014 into commercial technologies. He emphasized the need for partnerships with top-tier industry players and the creation of venture-builder models to ensure that discoveries don\u2019t remain confined to laboratories.
\nThe Minister concluded by asking the ANRF to prioritise key areas of national relevance, including climate forecasting, material science, aerospace, biochemistry, and drug development. He stressed that the time has come for India to move from isolated innovation to a more integrated, impact-driven ecosystem that links research, startups, and industry.<\/p>\n
