The proposal to create NRF to support the projects in universities, colleges and other institutions is yet to be approved by the Union cabinet

A plan by the Narendra Modi government to bolster India’s research competence through a new agency for which the Union finance minister had last year pledged Rs 50,000 crore over five years remains unapproved and unfunded.

The proposal to create a National Research Foundation (NRF) to support research projects in universities, colleges and other institutions is yet to be approved by the Union cabinet, an official familiar with the proposal’s status said.

It is expected to be approved soon, the official said, explaining that funds would then follow.

Sections of scientists say the lack of progress on the NRF is in line with what some describe as the Modi government’s penchant to make big announcements with disproportionate follow-up.

But others say it is unclear how the NRF will achieve what existing research funding agencies have not.

“The status of the NRF illustrates the government’s strategy — drumbeat announcements, paint a nice picture for the public, then things fizzle out,” said a physicist in a central educational institution who requested anonymity. “The NRF is a great concept, but where is it?”
