Department of Science & Technology (DST) promotes new areas of S&T in the country and connects S&T sector to different Government horizontals and verticals, academia, R&D and industry. DST provides the largest extramural research and development support in the country to strengthen national S&T capacity and capability through a competitive mode to scientists cutting across institutions and disciplines. This strategically important function mutually reinforces outcomes of our country’s educational, scientific and industrial R&D initiatives and helps transform the S&T landscape of the country. The DST supports and encourages the whole gamut of S&T ecosystem from seeding and capacity building in the cutting-edge research areas; translational research; technology development and deployment; innovation and startup ecosystem; and international collaborations. This is achieved by supporting students, scientists, researchers in academic and R&D institutions across the country through fellowships, R&D projects, S&T infrastructure and other supports.
