III. Name of the programme: (DBT Sponsored)
For wide use of the Foldscope as a research tool: Democratising Science through a Major Twinning programme of the North East with other parts of India (2018-19)
Research objectives:
- 1. Surveillance and minimising the risk of zoonotic diseases among tribal farmers through Foldscope microscopy
IV. Name of the programme: (DBT Sponsored)
“Establishment of Biotech-KISAN Hub at ICAR - National Institute of Biotic Stress Management, Raipur” (2020-22)
Objectives of Biotech-KISAN:
- Linking available science and technology to the farm by first understanding the problem of the local farmer and provide solutions to those problems.
- The working together, in close conjunction, of scientists and farmers is the only way to improve the working conditions of small and marginal farmers.
- This programme aims to work with small and marginal farmers especially the woman farmer for better agriculture productivity through scientific intervention and evolving best farming practices in the Indian context.
Research objectives:
- To identify and integrate economically viable and socially compatible technological options as adoptable models for different agro-ecological situations.
- To enhance farmer-scientist interface, enrich knowledge and facilitate continued feedback.
- To develop modules for farm women to address drudgery reduction, income enhancement and livelihood security.
- To study performance of technologies and perception of the farmers about agriculture as a profession in the rural settings.
- To build network of linkages of organizations around the farm households for improving access to information, technology, input and market.
