1) PM urges shift from food security to nutrition security
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, inaugurating the first Emerging Science, Technology and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC), urged the scientific community to reorient national priorities from mere food security towards nutrition security. He emphasised biotechnology-driven solutions, including developing bio-fortified crops to tackle malnutrition. Calling for affordable fertilisers and enhanced mapping of India’s genomic biodiversity to facilitate personalised medicine, he also stressed innovations in low-cost clean-energy battery storage.

A ₹1-lakh-crore Anusandhan NRF fund is intended to strengthen research collaborations. The speech further underlined that science should serve national development, encouraging a collective roadmap. The PM connected scientific progress with India’s cultural confidence and global aspirations, framing ESTIC—which replaces the Indian Science Congress—as a platform to channel science for social and economic transformations.
