BVG India, Senecio Robotics Sign MoU for AI-Based Non-GMO Mosquito Control Solutions
BVG India Limited and Israel-based Senecio Robotics have signed an MoU to introduce AI-driven Sterile Insect Technique mosquito control technology in India, aimed at improving public health through sustainable and natural methods.
The signing took place at a ceremony hosted with support from the Israeli Embassy in India and was attended by Mr. Yaniv Revach, Consul General of Israel to India, reflecting expanding India–Israel cooperation in science and sustainability.
The SIT solution is chemical-free and non-GMO, involving the release of sterile, non-biting male mosquitoes to reduce mosquito populations naturally. Senecio Robotics’ AI- and robotics-enabled platform automates mosquito rearing, sorting and quality assurance at industrial scale, allowing adaptation to local species, climate conditions and population density.
BVG brings nationwide execution capabilities, with operations across India and a workforce of over 100,000 employees supporting complex, people-impacting programmes. Commenting on the collaboration, BVG said, “BVG India Limited and Israel-based Senecio Robotics have signed a MoU to introduce advanced, non-GMO mosquito control solutions in India using AI-driven Sterile Insect Technology (SIT), advancing sustainable public-health outcomes while protecting the environment. This collaboration reflects the shared India–Israel commitment to science-based innovation and scalable public-health solutions.”
