A copy of the approved OAP is enclosed for your reference. We from DBT and DST take this opportunity to thank you one and all for your time and efforts spent on evolving such an important Policy for the nation. I am sure the free, open and digital access of scientific research will ensure percolation of cutting edge research at a rapid pace into higher education curricula, thereby raising the standard of technical and scientific education in the country. This in turn, will foster a richer research culture. Thank you very much once again, With best regards, Madhan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
