Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) G. Satheesh Reddy has urged the media to propagate use of 100% bio-degradable bags made from vegetable starch and produced by the DRDO.
At a press meet in Vijayawada on Saturday, Mr. Reddy, who was here to take part in the ongoing Science Week Festival organised as part of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ at the School of Planning and Architecture (SPAV), said the bags were showcased in the ongoing science exhibition.
Earlier, addressing the fifth day session at the exhibition, he spoke at length about the scientific developments achieved by the Indian scientists towards a self-reliant future. He said India could produce its indigenous COVID-19 vaccines, manufacture six to 10 lakhs of PPE kits in a day and set up enormous oxygen plants.
