The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has approved 82 Research & Development (R&D) projects aimed at enhancing the standardisation process in India. These projects come with a budget of up to Rs 10 lakh each and are expected to be completed within six months. The initiative will see participation from faculty members of prominent technical institutes, including IITs and NITs.

The selected projects will address cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, medical devices, renewable energy, sustainability, smart cities, and digital transformation. BIS Director General Pramod Kumar Tiwari highlighted that this collaboration with leading educational institutions reflects BIS's commitment to aligning standards with the latest technological advancements and industry requirements.

In addition to the 82 projects already approved, BIS is in the process of sanctioning 99 more and has 66 additional projects available for application, with details accessible through the BIS website.

BIS, as India?s National Standards Body, has developed over 22,000 Indian Standards to ensure the quality and safety of goods and services. The formation of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with educational institutions aims to integrate R&D into the standardisation process, promoting comprehensive research and improvement in product manufacturing and service delivery.
