Bengaluru C-CAMP, ICARS launch AMR innovation challenge
BENGALURU: The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) in Bengaluru, in partnership with the International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions (ICARS), has launched the One Health AMR Challenge 2025.
This initiative aims to support technologies addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across human, animal, and environmental health.
'The initiative, anchored under the India AMR Innovation Hub (IAIH) at C-CAMP, will identify up to 12 mid to late-stage innovations with Technology Readiness Levels 6–9. Selected technologies will receive financial support of Rs 40 lakh to Rs 2 crore, along with regulatory, IP, legal, manufacturing, and market-readiness assistance,' C-CAMP said on Monday.
Applications opened on July 3 and will close on August 3. Focus areas include the detection of respiratory infections in humans, zoonotic diagnostics, reducing antibiotic use in livestock, removing pharmaceutical residues from effluents, and timely detection of bovine mastitis.

Rajasthan CM Sharma calls on Governor Haribhau Bagade
States » North Jaipur, July 7 (UNI) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma called on Governor Haribhau Bagade at Raj Bhawan here on Monday afternoon, sources said. After participating in a function at the Rajasthan International Center (RIC), CM Sharma drove to the Raj Bhawan to meet the Governor. Both interacted over a cup of tea, on various topical subjects -- issues particularly related to the development of the state. Thereafter, the Chief Minister proceeded to Kota for attending his scheduled programmes in Sangod. He termed the meet as "courtesy call". He wrote on X: "Undertook courtesy call on Governor Sri Haribhau Kisanrao Bagade ji, we interacted on various issues pertaining to the interests of Rajasthan. A similar post was posted by Governor Bagade on his official X handle. As usual the meeting between the Governor and the Chief Minister has fueled speculation about a possible cabinet expansion or a reshuffle. However, the ruling BJP leadership seems occupied with issues such as the selection of party's national president and solving certain complexities in Bihar and revamping its Rajasthan state unit team.

Andhra unveils quantum valley in Amaravati, eyes $1 bn investment by 2029
The Andhra Pradesh government on Monday approved the Amaravati Quantum Valley Declaration, which will guide the state's efforts to advance quantum technologies and build a vibrant innovation ecosystem, including attracting $1 billion in investments by January 1, 2029. The declaration follows deliberations held during the recent Quantum Valley Workshop in Vijayawada. "The Government hereby approves the Amaravati Quantum Valley Declaration. This shall serve as a guiding framework for the state's efforts to advance quantum technologies and nurture a vibrant innovation ecosystem," said Bhaskar Katamneni, Secretary to the Government, in a GO. The declaration outlines shared commitments, a long-term vision, and strategic priorities for quantum research, innovation, talent development, infrastructure creation, and international partnerships. It reflects Andhra Pradesh's ambition to transform Amaravati into a globally competitive hub for quantum science and technology. The workshop hosted discussions on quantum computing, algorithms, hardware, quantum sensing and communication, quantum materials, capacity building, standardization, and a startup ecosystem for innovation. As part of joint commitments from global partners, scholars, startups, industry leaders, and other stakeholders, the Amaravati Quantum Valley (AQV) will establish a Living Lab Infrastructure. This includes setting up QChipIN, India's largest open quantum testbed, within a year. It will integrate quantum computers, QKD fibre links, and deployable sensor platforms to support pilot projects across health-tech, Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), logistics, defence, and space sectors. QChipIN will provide end-to-end access to quantum hardware, algorithms, tools, and expert support, housed within a dedicated tech park in collaboration with industry and academia to accelerate domestic R&D. By January 1, 2026, IBM is expected to install its Quantum System Two at AQV, with a target of testing 100 quantum algorithms by the same time. By January 1, 2027, three quantum computers based on different qubit technologiesincluding superconducting circuits, trapped ions, photonic qubits, and neutral atomsare planned. Further targets include testing over 1,000 quantum algorithms annually by January 1, 2028, and achieving 1,000 effective qubits of total quantum capacity by January 1, 2029. To boost domestic production, AQV will anchor the indigenous supply chain for qubit platforms, cryo-electronics, photonic packages, quantum chips, quantum dots, readout hardware like single-photon detectors, and control systems, to reach Rs 5,000 crore in annual exports by 2030. In addition to talent development, AQV will spearhead the creation of a National Startup Forum with milestone-based VC funding and mentorship. A dedicated Rs 1,000 crore Quantum Fund and access to Living Lab infrastructure will support at least 20 quantum hardware and security startups in the next year and 100 by 2030, said the declaration. Startups will also benefit from regulatory sandboxes. The quantum valley aims to attract a minimum of $500 million in investments by January 1, 2027, and $1 billion by January 1, 2029, focusing on quantum computing, chips, sensing, and communications. Andhra Pradesh will also establish a Global Quantum Collaboration Council (GQCC) in Amaravati to align international standards, foster joint R&D, and promote trusted supply chains. A multi-stakeholder Amaravati Quantum Valley Mission Board will oversee governance, with working groups identifying use cases for quantum computing across sectors. Starting in 2026, Amaravati will host an annual World Quantum Expo, with the goal of becoming India's quantum capital and a global hub for deep tech innovation by 2035.
