The Community News/New Delhi
Indian and British government will soon setup India-UK Net Zero Innovation Virtual Centre for enhanced science and technology cooperation between the two countries.
The announcement came during the meeting of India-UK Science and Innovation Council meeting in which ministers of both countries George Freeman and Jitendra Singh were present.
Freeman and Singh called for enhanced science and technology cooperation between the two countries.
Singh said ‘close collaboration under ‘Roadmap 2030’ will strengthen UK-India relations across health, climate, trade, education, science and technology and defence sectors.
“Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leaderhip, the UK has emerged as India’s second largest international research and innovation partner.
The India-UK Science & Technology (S&T) collaboration has been growing at a rapid pace and the joint research programme has gone from an almost zero base to close to £300-400 million now,” he added.
Freeman and Singh lauded the proposal to create the Centre as it will work for decarbonization of manufacturing, transport systems and hydrogen as renewable source.
