Monsoon Session: National Research Foundation Bill introduced in Lok Sabha

Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of Science and Technology, introduced the Anusandhan National Research Foundation Bill (NRF), 2023, in the Lok Sabha on Friday.

Earlier in June, the Union Cabinet adopted the NRF Bill, allocating 50,000 crore over five years to encourage research and development in the country through various levels of India’s research institutions, colleges, and universities.

In a statement issued the same month, the ministry of science and technology said, “The bill, after approval in Parliament, will establish NRF, an apex body to provide high-level strategic direction of scientific research in the country as per recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP), at a total estimated cost of 50,000 crore during five years (2023-28).”
