To take up R&D activities on a large scale Supporting R&D projects
Institution/individual who submit proposal must have necessary infrastructure and competent staff to carry out R&D activity.
-
The projects proposed should be with specific goal and scientific background.
- The project should take cognizance of technological development elsewhere and if available elsewhere on commercial term for further development to avoid reputation of work.
- Project proposals should concentrate development of new and
Emerging Technologies in the areas for R&D priorities given in indicative list given in Annexure-I.
