Need for commitment to biotechnology in India

Recently, President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order to launch a National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative in the US. Amongst other things, the initiative seeks to “Drive Research and Development (R&D) to Solve Our Greatest Challenges”, with a focus on agriculture and food innovation and “Streamline Regulations for Products of Biotechnology”. These challenges are also shared by the Indian biotechnology ecosystem and a similar policy emphasis on tackling them is necessary.
