At SPM’s Prin. B. V. Bhide Foundation, research is not just about generating knowledge – it is about innovating for impact, bridging traditional wisdom with modern science, and creating solutions that benefit industry, environment, and society.
We actively engage in multidisciplinary research across diverse domains, promote innovation-driven entrepreneurship, and foster collaborations with leading institutions and industries. Our work is guided by a strong commitment to scientific excellence, sustainability, and translational research.
We are proud to share that the Rajiv Gandhi Science and Technology Commission (RGSTC) has sanctioned a grant for our project on:
“Prevention and Treatment of Diabetes Using Local Plant Diaspora” (through Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai).
This grant reinforces our commitment to translational research for public health solutions rooted in both traditional knowledge and modern science.
