Seven Centres for Nano Technology in various institutions within the country are being supported by Union Government. A separate independent institute of Nano Science and Technology is set up at Mohali. The Union Government also proposes to support a Centre for Nano Science and Technology as part of an existing institute in Bangalore.
The proposed Centre for Nano Science and Technology at Bangalore will focus on research on novel nano-materials. This Centre will be set up by May 2010. The proposed budget for this Centre is Rs. 113 crore for the remaining period of the XI Plan. However, no funds have been released so far, as the project is yet to receive sanction of the Government. (Noted from statement of Prithviraj Chavan, the Minister of State (I/C) for Science and Technology in LokSabha)
