Page 3 of 216(d) The Government has already established several National Scientific
Research Institutions in Kerala across different scientific and research
domains with varied mandates. The details of such institutions are given in
Annexure – IV.
(e) Apart from establishing several Scientific Institutions, the Government
has taken several measures to strengthen scientific research, innovation
and technology development in Kerala. Significant initiatives are given
below:
o The Department of Science and Technology (DST) is strengthening
Kerala's scientific ecosystem through targeted grants, infrastructure
funding, and intellectual property support. Key measures include funding
the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment
(KSCSTE) through the State S&T Programme, establishing a Patent
Information Centre to drive IPR awareness and patent filings, and backing
student innovation projects. The INSPIRE Scheme supports research and
innovation by funding doctoral studies, offering postdoctoral tracks, and
building local STEM talent pools. Technology Translation and Innovation
Division is funding proof-of-concept development, nurturing local start-
ups through translational programs, and bridging academia-industry gaps.
It converts early-stage research into market-ready prototypes while
supporting regional S&T initiatives. Under FIST Scheme, during the last
five years, 9 STEM departments at various academic
institutions/universities and 12 PG Colleges, were supported in Kerala for
augmenting basic infrastructural facilities for conducting quality research
in basic and applied sciences. 2 Sophisticated Analytical Instrument
Facilities (SAIF) were established in the State of Kerala (Mahatma Gandhi
University, Kottayam and Cochin University of Science and Technology,
Kochi) to provide the facilities of sophisticated analytical instruments to
the researchers to pursue advanced R&D activities. Under the Promotion
of University Research and Scientific Excellence (PURSE), University of
Calicut, Thrissur has been supported to strengthen the Research and
Development (R&D) infrastructure to conduct mission-oriented research
in various areas of Science and Technology (S&T) aligned with national
priorities. The Technical Research Centre (TRC) at Sree Chitra Tirunal
Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) is conducting
mission-mode R&D in critical medical devices, supporting regulatory
compliance, and fostering industry partnerships.
o One of the constituent laboratories of the Council of Scientific and
Industrial Research (CSIR), namely National Institute for Interdisciplinary
Science & Technology (NIIST), Thiruvananthapuram has established
research programmes to promote fundamental science and foster high-
Page 4 of 216impact, innovative research and to support promising research ideas with
strong scientific and translational potential. These initiatives are
intended to accelerate the progression of basic research into
technologies and solutions that address national priorities and societal
needs.
o Department of Biotechnology (DBT) is supporting R&D projects through
its Central sector BioRIDE scheme in the state of Kerala. To boost
research ecosystem, DBT has sanctioned three projects under the
Research Resource Service Facility and Platform (RRSFP) focusing on
building institutional capacity by upgrading postgraduate teaching and
research laboratories and enhancing access to high end scientific
equipment. To strengthen innovation and technology development, BIRAC
(Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council), PSU of DBT has
established two incubation centres in Kerala which provide startups and
innovators with access to advanced lab infrastructure and industry
linkages. BIRAC has enabled industry academia collaboration for
technology and product development through PACE (Promoting Academic
Research Conversion to Enterprise), BIPP (Biotechnology Industry
Partnership Programme) and SBIRI (Small Business Innovation Research
Initiative) programs in Kerala.
o Several broad-based programs like Advanced Research Grant (ARG),
Prime Minister Early Career Research Grant (PMECRG), Inclusivity
Research Grant (IRG) launched by Anusandhan National Research
Foundation (ANRF) provide financial assistance to researchers and
scientists in academic institutions in order to create supportive
environment for doing research in frontier areas of science and
engineering across the country, including Kerala.
o The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has undertaken
several initiatives to strengthen scientific research, innovation and
technology development in Kerala through its research institutes, All
India Coordinated Research Projects (AICRPs), National Innovations on
Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) and
other research and extension programmes.
