Discussions included strategies to accelerate R&D in academic institutions by enhancing infrastructure, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and improving access to funding. Deliberations also addressed the need to empower R&D personnel through reforms in recruitment, retention, and capacity-building mechanisms, enabling them to undertake cutting-edge research. Another key focus area was the translation of academic research-publications and patents-into marketable products, emphasizing the promotion of industry-academia linkages and incentivizing innovation. The sessions also explored critical policy reforms and systemic changes required to enhance the overall ease of doing R&D in India.

The consultative meeting was part of a multi-city initiative undertaken by NITI Aayog to gather actionable inputs from Heads of R&D Institutions, Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs), and Universities. Around 40 leaders from across Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab are participating in this third regional consultation.

This regional dialogue builds upon the foundations laid during the earlier consultations at Raj Bhawan, Lucknow (May 2025) and CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun (June 2025). The insights generated during the Jammu meeting will feed into a national-level reform blueprint being developed by NITI Aayog for the future of Indian R&D.

As India seeks to position itself as a global leader in knowledge production and scientific innovation, initiatives such as this regional consultation are critical steps toward designing a future-ready, collaborative, and frictionless R&D ecosystem for the country.
