The Department of Science and Technologyin India and the central funding body for academic research in Germany, are studying these proposals. The German Ambassador, Mr Heimo Richter, said that Germany would be interested in collaborating with India "particularly in the areas of IT and biotechnology". He told this to the media on the sidelines of a conference.
