Centre rejects conflict-of-interest allegations regarding RDI scheme
The government has stood by the operational framework of the ₹1 lakh crore RDI Scheme, asserting that strict conflict-of-interest guidelines regulate how funds are distributed. Individuals serving on the Investment Committee of the Technology Development Board (TDB) are required to declare any potential conflicts and step aside from the review process for relevant proposals. The Department of Science and Technology labeled the claims concerning funding inconsistencies as both misleading and based on incorrect information.
