BENGALURU : Shipra Misra is chief executive and managing director of Delhi Research Implementation and Innovation (DRIIV), the umbrella body for the Delhi NCR Science and Technology (S&T) cluster.
In an interview, she talks about the progress the foundation is making with Project SAMEER to control air pollution in Delhi, the move to introduce solar-powered interoperable electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, among other things.
Edited excerpts: How effective are these S&T clusters proving to be? What are you focusing on? India has six S&T clusters—Delhi, Hyderabad, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur, Pune, and Bengaluru, and each is named after the city they are based in.
But their activities are not confined to those cities. All these clusters are relatively young, and our projects are aligned with the national missions of the country.
