Bengaluru: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has advocated a three-pronged approach for Navratna Defence PSU Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) to contribute to the GoI’s mission to realise the dream of a Viksit and Aatmanirbhar Bharat: lead the semiconductor revolution – from design to manufacture; establish a place for India in the global supply chain by hand-holding start-ups; and, foster collaborations with academia to drive innovation.
The Vice President was at BEL-Bangalore on January 11 to present R&D Excellence Awards to the young R&D engineers and scientists of BEL at the company’s annual R&D Excellence Awards ceremony held at the BEL Academy of Excellence, Nalanda.

BEL has a total of 267 patents to its credit.
“The spirit to innovate and engage in research must be instilled in school and college students. We cannot rest on our past laurels. Aatmanirbharbharta will become a reality only when the world looks at as a crucible of research and development,” the Vice President added.
Dr (Smt) Sudesh Dhankhar, Vice President’s wife, and Governor of Karnataka, Thawar Chand Gehlot were present at the event.
