Overview of Nanobiotechnology Public R&D System in India
by Amit Kumar and Pranav N. Desai
Asian Biotechnology and Development Review, 2013, 15(5): 67-79. In Special Issue on Nanotechnology and Nanobiotechnology in Agriculture and Food, Guest Editors: R. Kalpana Sastry and N.H. Rao.
Abstract: Nanobiotechnology, as an area of application of nanotechnology in the domain of biotechnology, is poised to have a strong influence on the various facets of the biotechnology sector such as agricultural biotechnology, animal biotechnology, environment biotechnology or health biotechnology. Many countries have initiated various programmes/schemes to harness the potentialities that nanotechnology has to offer in the biotechnology sector. This article attempts to present an overview of the nanobiotechnology public R&D system in India and carry out its SWOT analysis.

'Moving Forward Responsibly: Agribiotechnology to Agrinanotechnology in India
by Poonam Pandey
Asian Biotechnology and Development Review, 2013, 15(5): 81-101. In Special Issue on Nanotechnology and Nanobiotechnology in Agriculture and Food, Guest Editors: R. Kalpana Sastry and N.H. Rao.
Abstract: The agribiotechnology debates in India over the last decade have set precedents for reflecting on the changing relationship between science and society. This article tries to engage with these lessons in order to stress the need to assimilate them while imagining new technological interventions such as nanotechnology for agriculture and their governance. While searching for an appropriate governance mechanism, the artilce opens up the parallel international debate on 'Responsible Innovation' (RI) in the context of emerging technologies, for scrutiny in the Indian context. In doing so, the article highlights the neglected power dynamics in the overall debates on responsible innovation and proposes a 'beam-balance' metaphor to engage with the idea of 'Responsible Innovation' in order to take the inequalities and alternative perspectives into account.
