Indicator Summary
The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) – Technology Generated refers to the new tools, processes, products, and innovations developed through DBT-funded research and development initiatives across diverse domains of biotechnology. These technologies span areas such as healthcare (vaccines, diagnostics, therapeutics), agriculture (improved crop varieties, biofertilizers, biopesticides), bioenergy (biofuels and bioconversion systems), environmental biotechnology (waste management and bioremediation), and industrial biotechnology (bioprocesses and bioproducts). The generation of technology under DBT programs demonstrates the successful translation of research into practical, scalable applications that can benefit industry and society. The technologies generated under DBT are of great relevance as they contribute directly to India’s innovation ecosystem, economic growth, and technological self-reliance. They bridge the gap between laboratory research and commercial deployment, helping to create start-ups, patents, and new market opportunities. These innovations address national challenges such as food security, healthcare accessibility, renewable energy, and environmental sustainability. Moreover, they support the goals of Atmanirbhar Bharat by promoting indigenous technology development and reducing dependence on imports. Through technology generation, the DBT strengthens India’s position as a global biotechnology leader and ensures that scientific advancements translate into tangible socio-economic benefits.
