The term “Ongoing Projects” refers to the ongoing research and development projects that the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) supports in a variety of biotechnology fields, such as industrial biotechnology, bioenergy, healthcare, agriculture, and the environment. These initiatives, which support scientific discovery and fortify India’s biotechnology ecosystem, are carried out through universities, national research institutes, and private sector partnerships. In order to address national concerns including food security, disease control, and sustainable development, ongoing programs frequently concentrate on translational research, capacity building, and the creation of indigenous technology.

The DBT’s continuous initiatives are essential to developing India’s bioeconomy and technical independence. Through funding innovative research, assisting start-ups, and converting scientific findings into practical applications, they promote innovation-driven growth. By strengthening R&D infrastructure and encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation, these programs also help India become more competitive globally in the biotechnology sector. Additionally, DBT’s programs support national missions like “Make in India,” “Digital India,” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat,” guaranteeing that biotechnology will play a significant role in advancing socioeconomic development and sustainable growth. Through these initiatives, DBT contributes significantly to the integration of industry, society, and science.
