In 2023–24, Gujarat State Biotechnology Mission (GSBTM), Government of Gujarat, awarded Ganpat University researchers a prestigious grant under its UG BT CBC Research Project.
The project, led by Dr. Hardik Shah and Dr. Priti Patel, focuses on biotechnology applications with potential to improve healthcare and agricultural sustainability in the state. With sanctioned funding of ₹5.52 lakhs, the project empowers young researchers and students to explore cutting-edge biosciences.
What makes this project special is its direct link to regional development—from improving crop resilience to advancing biotechnological innovations for everyday challenges. It represents how external government support and university expertise come together to deliver research that truly benefits communities.
As one student researcher put it: “Working on this project has given me the confidence that science from our labs can solve real problems for our villages and industries.”
