'''National Design & Research Foundation''' ('''NDRF''') <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ndrf.res.in/about-us.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2014-06-08 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140617190805/http://www.ndrf.res.in/about-us.html |archivedate=2014-06-17 }} Official Website of NDRF</ref> is a premier Indian [[research and development]] organization promoting collaborative interdisciplinary research and development. It is actively involved in Technological Research, Design, Development, Productization, Innovation, and [[Program Management]] of large, interdisciplinary Indian Technological Research Programs.<br />
<br />
NDRF was established in June 1967 by the [[Institution of Engineers (India)]],<ref>https://www.ieindia.org/index.aspx Official Website of The Institution of Engineers (India)</ref> as an autonomous forum for technological research and development. It was formerly known as the National Design Engineering Forum. It is located in [[Bengaluru]], [[Karnataka]], [[India]].<br />
<br />
NDRF's collaborative research ecosystem-NDRF Consortium has over 80 partners from the academia, industry, and research organizations; and has progressed 32 [[research]] projects.<br />
<br />
Currently, Space Scientist Dr. [[Annadurai M]], serves as the [[chairman]], board of governors, NDRF. Defence Scientist Dr.V.Dillibabu is the Director of NDRF from June 2019. <br />
