Department of Science and Technology (DST) is implementing a dedicated programme exclusively for strengthening the research ecosystem in universities called Promotion of University Research and Scientific Excellence (PURSE). So far under PURSE, DST has supported eighty-two (82) universities with a total investment of ₹1227 crores. Additionally, nine more universities have been selected and recommended for support under the PURSE 2024 call. Universities are also involved in research through their doctoral and post-doctoral programs.

This was said by Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology, Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha on Dec 12 on a question related to support given to universities for research.

Furthermore, under the “Fund for Improvement of S&T Infrastructure in Universities and Higher Educational Institutions” (DST-FIST), departments of various universities receive support for scientific infrastructure building. DST support is extended to Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Facilities (SAIF) Centers for acquiring research facilities; many of these centers are located at universities. The Consolidation of University Research for Innovation and Excellence (CURIE) program empowers exclusive women’s universities by supporting research facilities in basic and applied sciences.

State University Research Excellence (SURE) scheme of erstwhile Science and Engineering Research Board (now Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF)), aims to boost research capabilities in state and private universities. Under SURE Scheme, 425 projects have been supported with an investment of ₹117.8 crores to strengthen university research.

Recently, ANRF has launched the Partnerships for Accelerated Innovation and Research (PAIR) program to boost university research. This program pairs top-tier institutions (hubs) with emerging ones (spokes) to foster research collaboration, knowledge sharing, and capacity building. This initiative is designed to cultivate research excellence across Indian universities, by collaborations with top-tier institutions.

The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) also contributes to infrastructure development in research institutions through programs like DBT- Boost to University Interdisciplinary Life Science Departments for Education and Research Programme (DBT-BUILDER) and Scientific Infrastructure Access for Harnessing Academia University Research Joint Collaboration (DBT-SAHAJ). These programs aim to enhance research capabilities and foster innovation in the field of biotechnology.

DST, DBT, CSIR, MoES and ANRF have been instrumental in advancing university scientific and technological landscape by supporting research grants, fellowships, and infrastructure development initiatives. Substantial support by these organizations have significantly strengthened the nation’s university research ecosystem.
