Dear Wikimedians,

I am happy to share with you the Draft Policy for Open Access to Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India funded research  http://dbtindia.nic.in/docs/DBT-DST_Open_Access_Policy.pdf

CIS has contributed to this draft, which is up for comments until July 25, 2014. Hope this will come through soon and ensure that more scientific research in India would be openly accessible for all of us.

Best,
Vishnu
