A Bill that provides for setting up the Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India (BRAI) for regulating the research, transport, import, manufacture and the use of organisms and products of modern biotechnology was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Monday. The Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India Bill, 2013, provides for the setting up of an inter-ministerial governing board to oversee the performance of the proposed BRAI. It will also provide for setting up the Biotech Advisory Council to render strategic advice to the authority on matters relating to developments in modern biotechnology and their implications in India.
