India’s Research Administration: Time and Challenges

• 75 women selected for the Department of Biotechnology’s Biocare programme have not received sanction letters or salaries.

• Young researchers face challenges such as limited laboratory space, complex university bureaucracies, and uncertain career prospects.

• Salaries and fellowships are modest compared to living costs, deterring talented graduates from pursuing research.

• The Biocare scheme promises an independent foothold but its failure to deliver on time magnifies insecurity and discouragement.

• Opportunities for postdoctoral work and tenure-track openings abroad are narrowing due to tighter immigration regimes and intensified competition for limited faculty posts.

• Delays in disbursing fellowships and grants can derail entire careers.

• The switch to the Treasury Single Account system may strengthen transparency in the long run, but urgent administrative maturity is needed due to time-sensitive science, credibility deficit, and equity demands.

• Scheme design must incorporate enforcement, implement transparency with contingencies, and tighten accountability at the level of Ministries and programme managers.
