Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the first meeting of the Governing Board of Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) on 10th September, 2024. The meeting focussed on discussion about India's Science and Technology landscape and redesigning of research and development programmes. The board discussed several areas of strategic interventions of ANRF which include India's international status in important sectors, aligning R&D with national priorities, promoting inclusive growth, capacity building, driving scientific advances and innovation ecosystem, as well as bridging the gap between academic research and industrial applications. The major programs initiated by ANRF since its inceptions are given below:-

The details of the grants awarded in high-impact areas are given below:

The Department has launched several mission-mode initiatives to strengthen the innovation ecosystem and promote high-impact research in emerging technology areas. The National Quantum Mission (NQM), approved by the Union Cabinet with an outlay of Rs.6003.65 crore for a period of eight years, aims to support research and development in quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing and quantum materials.

Under the Mission, four Thematic Hubs have been established in September 2024: Quantum Computing at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru; Quantum Communication at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras in association with C-DOT; Quantum Sensing & Metrology at IIT Bombay; and Quantum Materials & Devices at IIT Delhi. These Hubs are undertaking activities in technology development, human resource development, entrepreneurship development and industry collaboration, as well as international collaborations, to strengthen the quantum innovation ecosystem in the country.

The National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) supports the development of Cyber-Physical Systems technologies through a network of Technology Innovation Hubs (TIHs) across academic institutions, focusing on areas such as AI, robotics, autonomous systems, smart manufacturing and advanced communication technologies.

In addition, the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) has initiated several mission-mode programmes, including Drones, Water, 6G and Leapfrog Demonstrators, to promote solution-oriented and translational research in priority technology areas.Bottom of Form
