Transforming public univs into R&D engines
India’s Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) aims to revitalize R&D in public universities, integrating them with national labs. Despite a strong legacy, public universities lagged in R&D, necessitating governance reforms, faculty training, and strategic funding. The ANRF’s success hinges on fostering a robust R&D culture through mentorship, translational research, and incentivizing high-quality research output.
