Indian Council for 5 6 8 6 9 Agricultural Research Page 3 of 216(d) The Government has already established several National Scientific Research Institutions in Kerala across different scientific and research domains with varied mandates. The details of such institutions are given in Annexure – IV.

(e) Apart from establishing several Scientific Institutions, the Government has taken several measures to strengthen scientific research, innovation and technology development in Kerala. Significant initiatives are given

below: o The Department of Science and Technology (DST) is strengthening Kerala's scientific ecosystem through targeted grants, infrastructure funding, and intellectual property support. Key measures include funding the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment

(KSCSTE) through the State S&T Programme, establishing a Patent Information Centre to drive IPR awareness and patent filings, and backing student innovation projects. The INSPIRE Scheme supports research and innovation by funding doctoral studies, offering postdoctoral tracks, and building local STEM talent pools. Technology Translation and Innovation Division is funding proof-of-concept development, nurturing local start- ups through translational programs, and bridging academia-industry gaps.

It converts early-stage research into market-ready prototypes while supporting regional S&T initiatives. Under FIST Scheme, during the last five years, 9 STEM departments at various academic institutions/universities and 12 PG Colleges, were supported in Kerala for augmenting basic infrastructural facilities for conducting quality research in basic and applied sciences. 2 Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Facilities (SAIF) were established in the State of Kerala (Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam and Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kochi) to provide the facilities of sophisticated analytical instruments to the researchers to pursue advanced R&D activities. Under the Promotion of University Research and Scientific Excellence (PURSE), University of Calicut, Thrissur has been supported to strengthen the Research and Development (R&D) infrastructure to conduct mission-oriented research in various areas of Science and Technology (S&T) aligned with national priorities. The Technical Research Centre (TRC) at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) is conducting mission-mode R&D in critical medical devices, supporting regulatory compliance, and fostering industry partnerships.

o One of the constituent laboratories of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), namely National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science & Technology (NIIST), Thiruvananthapuram has established research programmes to promote fundamental science and foster high- Page 4 of 216impact, innovative research and to support promising research ideas with strong scientific and translational potential. These initiatives are intended to accelerate the progression of basic research into technologies and solutions that address national priorities and societal needs.

o Department of Biotechnology (DBT) is supporting R&D projects through its Central sector BioRIDE scheme in the state of Kerala. To boost research ecosystem, DBT has sanctioned three projects under the Research Resource Service Facility and Platform (RRSFP) focusing on building institutional capacity by upgrading postgraduate teaching and research laboratories and enhancing access to high end scientific equipment. To strengthen innovation and technology development, BIRAC (Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council), PSU of DBT has established two incubation centres in Kerala which provide startups and innovators with access to advanced lab infrastructure and industry linkages. BIRAC has enabled industry academia collaboration for technology and product development through PACE (Promoting Academic Research Conversion to Enterprise), BIPP (Biotechnology Industry Partnership Programme) and SBIRI (Small Business Innovation Research Initiative) programs in Kerala.

o Several broad-based programs like Advanced Research Grant (ARG), Prime Minister Early Career Research Grant (PMECRG), Inclusivity Research Grant (IRG) launched by Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) provide financial assistance to researchers and scientists in academic institutions in order to create supportive environment for doing research in frontier areas of science and engineering across the country, including Kerala.

o The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has undertaken several initiatives to strengthen scientific research, innovation and technology development in Kerala through its research institutes, All India Coordinated Research Projects (AICRPs), National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) and other research and extension programmes.
