AN OVERVIEW OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM AND THEIR REGULATIONS IN INDIA Authors: Deshmukh SB , PATEL S* AND PATEL P
ABSTRACT
Global advancements and inventions across multiple fields are profoundly altering every aspect of
society. Together, biotechnology and agriculture have developed several revolutionary approaches and
techniques to improve both the quantity and quality of agricultural productivity. Each novel innovation
that reaches the market looks beneficial at first because it handles a few significant problems swiftly
but if its long-lasting effects on humans, animals, and the environment are thoroughly studied, it can
lead to several unintentional health problems. Additionally, genetically modified organisms provided
solutions for the limited availability of food, pest protection for plants, and increased crop productivity.
Another significant body that recommends commercial genetically modified products for manufacture,
distribution, importation, or usage under Rule 11 of Rule 89 is the Genetic Engineering Approval
Committee (GEAC). The Genetic Engineering Approval Committee requires thorough testing for food
safety, as well as testing for environmental risks, for recently invented genetically modified materials,
such as food products, food components, and additives like processing aids that contain or include
genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The study addresses the laws and regulatory framework that
are in place in India concerning genetically modified organisms.
