New Delhi, Jan 10: Prof Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, the Vice Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Wednesday met with Dr Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy, and Space. The discussions centred on StartUp collaborations and academic projects supported by the Department of Biotechnology and the Ministry of Science & Technology.

Prof Pandit updated Dr Jitendra Singh on recent advancements in the University, infrastructure development, and JNU’s contribution to job creation.
The meeting delved into ongoing societal development projects supported by the Department of Biotechnology under the ‘Boost to University Interdisciplinary Life Science Departments for Education and Research’ (DBT-BUILDER) program. The delegation highlighted the Advanced Instrumentation Research Facility (AIRF) and its 25 state-of-the-art instruments, catering to interdisciplinary research applications.

He commended India’s growth as a knowledge-based economy and highlighted the innovation and technological advancements achieved. Dr Singh underscored the ‘Whole of Science’ approach initiated by the Department of Science & Technology, focusing on infrastructure development and job creation.
Emphasizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, Dr Singh encouraged collaboration in launching StartUps, particularly in Aroma Mission and Agriculture, leveraging the support from DBT’s BIRAC PPP model. He cited the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (NRF) and the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) as catalysts for enhancing the StartUp ecosystem and creating new opportunities for students and youth in India. 
Prof. Pandit mentioned JNU’s implementation of NEP 2020 in its M.Sc program and the success of the B. Tech (Computer Science) program.
