Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State for Science and Technology, Earth Sciences, and other key portfolios, inaugurated the new complex of India’s first biomanufacturing institute—BRIC-National Agri-Food Bio-Manufacturing Institute (BRIC-NABI). The facility aims to transform India’s agri-food sector through advanced biotechnology, contributing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a “Viksit Bharat”.
Addressing a gathering of scientists, industry leaders, and stakeholders at the event, Dr. Singh highlighted the government’s commitment to fostering innovation in agriculture, generating employment, and promoting environmental sustainability. These goals are vital to building a future-ready India.
The newly inaugurated BRIC-National Agri-Food Bio-Manufacturing Institute is the result of a strategic merger between the National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute (NABI) and the Center of Innovative and Applied Bioprocessing (CIAB). The institute aims to bridge the gap between research and commercialization, facilitating pilot-scale production and bringing innovative agricultural technologies to the market.
