Conclusions
1. DeLCON Consortium constituted & setup by the DBT and managing
by NBRC since the Year 2009.
2. Consortium completed successfully 10 Years & Nodal Centre (H.Q.)
NBRC.
3. Centralized funding by DBT, no load on any member Institutions.
4. Terms and Conditions are Unique.
5. DeLCON Consortium helping students, researchers, faculties of
Life Science & Biotechnology for the member Institutions.
6. Although there are various Issues & Challenges, but the DeLCON
Consortium is functioning very smoothly & very popular Consortium
in the area of Biotechnology/Life Science in India.
