The NRF’s goal is to “seed, grow and promote” research across the country’s institutions by strengthening ties between academia, industry and the government, according to a statement from the Ministry of Science and Technology. “It’s a big move,” says Namita Roy Choudhury, a chemical engineer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, who collaborates with researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur.
Partha Majumder, a geneticist and the founder of the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics in Kalyani, India, says that he is optimistic about the NRF’s prospects, but that its success will depend on how it is governed in practice. He adds that, as yet, no publicly available documents comprehensively outline how the NRF will operate and achieve its objectives.India’s economy is in the world’s top ten by gross domestic product .
“I think it would be very good to level the playing field,” says Sunil Mukhi, a theoretical physicist at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research in Pune. “I hope the NRF can do that.”
