What is GEAC, and what are its objectives?

Answers (1)

The full form of GEAC is Genetic Engineering Approval Committee. The Government of India has formed this committee. The following are its main objectives:

  1. The validity of GM research: One of GEAC's primary responsibilities is to ensure that all research on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is scientifically sound, accurate, and adheres to established guidelines. The committee reviews research processes, methods, and results to confirm the credibility of GM studies and ensure they meet safety and ethical standards.
  2.  Assessing the safety of the introduction of GM products among the public: GEAC works to assess the potential risks and safety of introducing genetically modified products into human societies. This involves determining their effects on human health, the environment, and animal life
