The International Conference on "Viksit Bharat 2047: Reaching the Unreached Through Chemical and Biological Sciences" (VBCB-2025) is organized by the Department of Chemistry, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, NCR Campus with a clear objective: to advance India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision by harnessing the power of chemical and biological sciences to improve the lives of underserved communities and drive sustainable development. The conference is structured around three major thematic areas: Chemistry and Biology Interface (CBI), Medical Research and Biotechnology (MRB), and Science for Sustainable Development (SSD), each focusing on leveraging scientific innovation for societal and environmental betterment.

• Chemistry and Biology Interface (CBI): This theme focuses on the interdisciplinary field where chemical processes influence biological systems, driving advancements in areas such as AI for drug discovery and development, biochemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, chemical biology, and computational biology and chemistry. The goal is to understand and manipulate biological systems at a molecular level to solve critical issues in healthcare, agriculture, and industrial biotechnology. Through discussions on topics like macromolecular chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and organic synthesis, the conference aims to catalyze research that can translate into practical applications benefiting rural and urban communities alike.

• Medical Research and Biotechnology (MRB): This theme emphasizes the transformative potential of biotechnology and medical research to address pressing healthcare challenges. By focusing on topics like advanced medicine, biosensors, drug discovery and development, and herbal medicine, the conference seeks to foster breakthroughs in diagnostics, therapeutics, and public health. MRB is dedicated to improving the accessibility and affordability of healthcare solutions, especially in underserved areas, aligning with the Viksit Bharat 2047 goal of ensuring that advancements in medical science reach all sections of society.

• Science for Sustainable Development (SSD): This theme centers on the role of chemistry and technology in addressing sustainability challenges. Topics such as carbon capture utilization and storage, biomass utilization, environmental chemistry, nanotechnology, materials science, and photochemistry will be discussed to explore how science can promote eco-friendly solutions and reduce the environmental footprint of industries. The focus will be on developing sustainable technologies and processes that can be widely adopted to create a more resilient and green future for India.

By exploring these three pillars—CBI, MRB, and SSD—the conference aims to generate impactful discussions and collaborations that not only advance scientific knowledge but also translate that knowledge into solutions that contribute to a self-reliant, inclusive, and sustainable India. The overarching objective is to ensure that innovations in science and technology directly contribute to the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, fostering an equitable and sustainable future for all.
