The “BioRRAP” portal will serve all those seeking regulatory permissions for biological research and development in the country, providing a significant boost to “Ease of Science” and “Ease of Business.”
Minister, speaking after the opening of the Biological Research Regulatory Approval Portal (BioRRAP), stated that India is on track to become a global bio-manufacturing hub and would rank among the top five countries by 2025.
Singh mentioned that, through a unique BioRRAP ID, stakeholders will be able to examine the approvals given to a specific application on the Portal. He characterized DBT’s unique gateway as a step toward making science and scientific research easier as well as making start-ups easier in India. Biotechnology has quickly developed as an educational and livelihood option for Indian youth, according to the Minister. He also stated that the country now has over 2,700 biotech start-ups and over 2,500 biotech enterprises in operation.
Dr. Jitendra Singh described the portal’s launch as a whole-of-government approach in line with Prime Minister Modi’s vision, saying that it will enhance interdepartmental synergies and carry accountability, transparency, and efficacy to the functioning of agencies that regulate various aspects of biological research and issue permits.
