Government of India

Connects India grant activity to ministry-level entities and avoids umbrella-level placeholder funding records.

Government of India is the national government identity layer and national portal context, not a single operational grant maker. The portal at india.gov.in functions as a citizen-facing aggregator and links services across ministries, departments, statutory bodies, and state governments.

Indian innovation, startup, and research support is executed through specialized agencies and ministries rather than one national hub. Representative examples include DST, DBT, SERB/ANRF, BIRAC, DPIIT/Startup India, TDB, MeitY, MSME, MNRE, and NITI Aayog.

Applicants should move from this umbrella label to the specific ministry or agency program that owns the call before evaluating eligibility, deadlines, and award mechanics.
