A Rajya Sabha reply details progress under the National Quantum Mission (NQM): 86 institutions engaged across four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) — quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing & metrology, and quantum materials & devices — supporting research, technology development and human-resource development.
The T-Hubs run JRF/SRF/Post-Doctoral fellowship schemes, including the Quantum Computing T-Hub's 'QC-Bridge' and the Quantum Sensing & Metrology T-Hub's 'PARIMANA' fellowship programmes.
DST has signed a Letter of Intent with Japan for international quantum-technology cooperation under NQM.
Seed, nurture and scale up scientific and industrial R&D in Quantum Technology to make India a global leader in the field
Key: Four T-Hubs covering computing, communication, sensing/metrology and materials; HRD component includes JRF/SRF/post-doc fellowships and named programmes (QC-Bridge, PARIMANA)
Outlay ₹3,660 crore — sister mission also using the Technology Hub model
Outlay ₹76,000 crore — the largest of the recent national tech missions
Established under the ANRF Act, 2023, with ₹14,000 crore budgetary provision; funds and coordinates research including quantum-adjacent areas
GS Paper 3 > Science & Technology > Emerging Technologies
