‘Quantum tech has the power to transcend metro boundaries to unlock entrepreneurship, advance R&D, create high-value jobs in Karnataka'

Karnataka's Quantum computing push is not just about Bengaluru, but about anchoring quantum-led innovation across emerging tech clusters in Mysuru, Mangaluru, and Hubballi, as the technology has the power to transcend metro boundaries to unlock entrepreneurship, advanced R&D, and high-value employment across the State, said Sanjeev Kumar Gupta, CEO, Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM). He was speaking at the Quantum India Bengaluru (QIB) 2025, held over two days to highlight Karnataka's growing leadership in quantum science and technology. The State would soon have the most comprehensive quantum ecosystem, anticipated by many experts who spoke at the event on Friday. The summit featured 24 multi-track sessions across five thematic streams, from Finance to Arts. It also had participation from over 20 academic institutions, deep-tech startups, and research labs. Diverse speakers highlighted the importance of large-scale reskilling initiatives to support translational deep-tech growth across quantum computing, communication, and sensing (mostly in healthcare and surveillance) to develop India's own quantum technologies. A poster showcase featured more than 41 research posters from scholars and doctoral researchers, providing diverse perspectives in areas such as quantum algorithms, hardware, and cryptography. Winners of the poster awards who each received a prize of ₹20,000, included Shuvarati Roy, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune; Kanad Sengupta, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru; Ayan Majumder, Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay; Purna Pal, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. It event was jointly organised by the Karnataka Science and Technology Promotion Society (KSTePS) and the Department of Science and Technology, State Government, in collaboration with the IISc Quantum Technology Initiative (IQTI), in alignment with the National Quantum Mission.

Experts see bigger role for nuclear energy to attain sustainability goals

Experts who addressed a recent workshop have advocated for exploring an expanding role for civilian nuclear power in India's clean energy transition and meeting its sustainability targets. The speakers were participating in the 'National Workshop on Advances in Nuclear Energy for Sustainable Environment (NWANESE-2025) held under the auspices of the Pondicherry University's Department of Green Energy Technology with the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam, under UNESCO Chair initiative. They called for increasing use of nuclear energy domain for energy diversification and fulfilling the nation's sustainability objectives, particularly in the context of climate change. Presiding over the inaugural, Pondicherry University Vice-Chancellor P. Prakash Babu underscored the crucial importance of nuclear safety, the need for increasing public awareness, and the vital societal applications of nuclear technologies. B. M. Jaffar Ali, Dean (i/c), MSGET, highlighted the synergies between nuclear, hydroelectric, solar, and wind power sources to ensure India's energy security and progress toward decarbonisation. A panel of nuclear scientists and experts from IGCAR, including T. Rajkumar, Ram Kumar Maity, S. Tripurasundari, Sanjay Kumar Das, C. V. Srinivas, and S. Chandrasekaran delivered technical talks over sessions. R. Arun Prasath, Head and UNESCO Chairholder, stressed the urgency of climate action and outlining India's clean energy roadmap. The Government of India's Nuclear Energy Mission under 'Viksit Bharat 2047,' aims to scale up nuclear capacity from 8 GW to 100 GW by 2047, he said. Mr. Arun said the country's India's energy transition is guided by a multifaceted commitment to sustainability and climate responsibility. Noting that India had made remarkable progress in green energy, now obtaining nearly 35% of its energy from renewable sources—well above the global average, he said the country faced rapidly growing energy demands while aiming to generate 500 GW of non- carbon-based energy by 2030. As part of its global climate commitments, India has pledged to meet 50% of its total energy requirements from renewable and clean sources, and has submitted Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to reduce carbon emission intensity by 35% by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. This was in addition to the commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. France Marquet, Principal Trustee, Madanjeet Singh Foundation and Benno Boer of the UNESCO Regional Office, New Delhi, shared their messages for the event. The event brought together more than 300 participants including faculty members, scientists, research scholars, and UG/PG students, the press note said.
