ICDSS (Integrated Clinical Decision Support system) Clinical decision support system (CDSS)
https://bisresearch.com/industry-report/global-clinical-decision-support-systems-market-2025.html
Physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals use a CDSS to prepare a diagnosis and to review the diagnosis as a means of improving the final result. Data mining may be conducted to examine the patient’s medical history in conjunction with relevant clinical research. Such analysis can help predict potential events, which can range from drug interactions to disease symptoms. Some physicians prefer to avoid over-consulting their CDSS, instead relying on their professional experience to determine the best course of care.
There are two main types of clinical decision support systems. One type of CDSS, which uses a knowledge base, applies rules to patient data using an inference engine and displays the results to the end user. Systems without a knowledge base, on the other hand, rely on machine learning to analyze clinical data.
There are pros and cons to implementing clinical decision support systems. The foremost challenge is that a CDSS must be integrated with a healthcare organization’s clinical workflow, which is often already complex. Some clinical decision support systems are standalone products that lack interoperability with reporting and electronic health record (EHR) software. The sheer number of clinical research and medical trials being published on an ongoing basis makes it difficult to incorporate the resulting data. Furthermore, incorporating large amounts of data into existing systems places significant strain on application and infrastructure maintenance.
The use of clinical decision support systems to facilitate the practice of evidence-based medicine promises to substantially improve health care quality.
Objective: To describe, on the basis of the proceedings of the Evidence and Decision Support track at the 2000 AMIA Spring Symposium, the research and policy challenges for capturing research and practice-based evidence in machine-interpretable repositories, and to present recommendations for accelerating the development and adoption of clinical decision support systems for evidence-based medicine.

Introducing Clinical Decision Support for EHR from India
Duodecim Medical Publications Ltd; Helsinki Finland and Kameda Infologics Pvt. Ltd, Trivandrum, India, have entered into an agreement to introduce clinical decision support system to India as well as Middle-East and Malaysia. The concept includes a novel Evidence Based Medicine electronic Decision Support system (EBMeDS) by Duodecim, integrated with Yasasii suite of Electronic Health Record by Kameda. The integrated solution will assist doctors and nurses by providing automatic reminders, prompts and alerts as well as care guidelines to users in their Electronic Health Record.
“EBMeDS will allow us to bring context-sensitive, Evidence Based, Medicine guidance at the point of care”, states Dr. Ataat Khan, managing director of Kameda. “Decision support system and the production method have received NHS Accreditation in the UK. This is the very first of its kind. Our aim is to improve the quality of care delivery and improve patient safety.
The global clinical decision support systems (CDSS) market comprises of software and services which help healthcare providers reduce the rate of medical errors during the healthcare delivery process. This, hence, significantly aid in improving clinical outcomes and facilitate reduction in healthcare costs. The market has evolved dramatically as a result of rising number of deaths due to medical errors, changing reimbursement models and healthcare delivery framework. These changes have fuelled the level of investments in the clinical decision support systems. Although, the major contributors to these changes remain rising healthcare costs and rapidly increasing rate of hospital readmissions. In order to combat these adverse events, healthcare organisations are now more focused towards achieving evidence based clinical outcomes with the help of CDSS tools which generate alerts to prevent any misdiagnosis during any medical process.
The healthcare system is also expected to witness the shortage of physicians in the upcoming years enhancing the need of decision making tools in order to effectively manage physician time and prevent the overcrowding of hospitals due to increased medical needs. Management of physicians’ time is an important aspect in clinical diagnosis and is reflected from the fact that approximately 32% of the medical errors are caused due to shortage of physicians’ time for the patient’s assessment which significantly enhances the chances of misdiagnosis or an adverse event.
Despite the benefits of clinical decision support systems, these decision making tools are experiencing a low adoption rate because of challenges pertaining to their implementation. CDSS tools are perceived by physicians as a threat to their professional autonomy. In addition to this, physicians do not appreciate the idea of overreliance on a device and prefer to rely more on their own expertise gained over the several years of medical practice. Another barriers for low adoption of CDSS solutions include lack of integration with existing patient information systems and perceived disruption of clinical workflow, among others
However, the demand for these systems will be catalysed by the ongoing healthcare reforms across the world to improve patient care and satisfaction, reduce hospital readmission rates in order to reduce increasing healthcare costs. With the seamless integration of CDSS with EHR systems, their adoption rate is likely to increase in the upcoming years. Furthermore, the global CDSS market is expected to expand manifolds in the upcoming years with Artificial Intelligence powered automation which has the potential to automate entire clinical workflow of an organisation. Hence, the day is not too far when diagnosis and prescription orders given by a physician will be replaced by intelligent systems

Why do we need to identify medicinal materials from natural sources?
Medicinal materials from natural sources have been used for centuries in China and other countries. They have been recognized as particularly suitable for treating modern diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, asthma and other long-term illnesses. Substitutes and adulterants are often introduced intentionally or accidentally, thus seriously interfering with their therapeutic effects, even leading to life-threatening poisoning. In 1989, two people in Hong Kong suffered serious neuropathy and encephalopathy after consuming a broth made with the roots of Podophyllum hexandrum, a toxic herb mistaken as Gentiana rigescens. In 2001, 63 people in the Netherlands reported symptoms of general malaise, nausea and vomiting following consumption of an herbal tea, with Japanese star anise (Illicium anisatum) mixed in the product. Aristolochic acid nephropathy has also been reported in Hong Kong, Korea and Belgium due to the erroneous substitution with herbs containing aristolochic acids. From March 2004 to May 2006, it was reported 10 cases of aconite poisoning in Hong Kong were reported. In four of them, the aconite herb was not listed in the written prescription. In 2008, a woman in Singapore suffered from antimuscarinic poisoning consuming brew made with Datura metel, which is a toxic herb mistaken as Rhododendron molle.

http://ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/login.php
Clinical trials hold enormous potential for benefiting patients, improving therapeutic regimens and ensuring advancement in medical practice that is evidence based. Unfortunately, the data and reports of various trials are often difficult to find and in some cases do not even exist as many trials abandoned or are not published due to “negative” or equivocal results. However, this tendency for availability of only selective information from the myriad clinical trials conducted is not commensurate with the practice of “evidence-based medicine”. Today, world over, a need has been felt on the imperative for transparency, accountability and accessibility in order to re-establish public trust in clinical trial data. And this would be feasible only if all clinical trials conducted are registered in a centralized clinical trials registry. Registration of trials will ensure transparency, accountability and accessibility of clinical trials.
Mission
The mission of the Clinical Trials Registry-India (CTRI) is to encourage all clinical trials conducted in India to be prospectively registered, i.e. before the enrolment of the first participant.
Vision
The vision of the CTRI is to ensure that every clinical trial conducted in the region is prospectively registered with full disclosure of the trial data set items. While this register is meant primarily for trials conducted in India, the CTRI will also accept registration of trials conducted in other countries in the region, which do not have a Primary Registry of its own.
Clinical Trials Registry-India (CTRI)
The Clinical Trials Registry- India (CTRI), hosted at the ICMR’s National Institute of Medical Statistics (http://nims-icmr.nic.in), is a free and online public record system for registration of clinical trials being conducted in India that was launched on 20th July 2007 (www.ctri.nic.in). Initiated as a voluntary measure, since 15th June 2009, trial registration in the CTRI has been made mandatory by the Drugs Controller General (India) (DCGI) (www.cdsco.nic.in). Moreover, Editors of Biomedical Journals of 11 major journals of India declared that only registered trials would be considered for publication1, 2.
Today, any researcher who plans to conduct a trial involving human participants, of any intervention such as drugs, surgical procedures, preventive measures, lifestyle modifications, devices, educational or behavioral treatment, rehabilitation strategies as well as trials being conducted in the purview of the Department of AYUSH (http://indianmedicine.nic.in/) is expected to register the trial in the CTRI before enrollment of the first participant. Trial registration involves public declaration and identification of trial investigators, sponsors, interventions, patient population etc before the enrollment of the first patient. Submission of Ethics approval and DCGI approval (if applicable) is essential for trial registration in the CTRI. Multi-country trials, where India is a participating country, which have been registered in an international registry, are also expected to be registered in the CTRI. In the CTRI, details of Indian investigators, trial sites, Indian target sample size and date of enrollment are captured. After a trial is registered, trialists are expected to regularly update the trial status or other aspects as the case may be. After a trial is registered, all updates and changes will be recorded and available for public display.
Being a Primary Register of the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) (http://www.who.int/ictrp/search/en/), registered trials are freely searchable both from the WHO’s search portal, the ICTRP as well as from the CTRI (www.ctri.nic.in).
he CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI) – is amongst one of the constituent research institutes of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi. Originally set up as the National Botanic Gardens (NBG) by the State Government of Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), it was taken over by the CSIR in 1953. Though, initially engaged in research in the classical botanical disciplines, the NBG went on laying an increasing emphasis, in keeping with the national needs and priorities in the field of plant sciences, on its applied and developmental research activities. A time came when it was felt that the name NBG no longer projected the correct nature and extent of its aims and objectives, functions and R & D activities. Consequently, the NBG was renamed as the NBRI, i.e., The National Botanical Research Institute in 1978. This name has since correctly reflected the distinctive character and the R & D activities of this applied botanical institution only of its type in the country.
Areas Of R & D and Infrastructure
The aims and objectives of the Institute are pursued through various projects distributed among the following five broad areas of R & D supported by S&T support services for their respective activities:
1. Botanic Garden and Distant Research Centers
2. Plant Diversity, Systematics and Herbarium
3. Plant Ecology & Environmental Science
4. Genetics and Molecular Biology
5. Plant Microbe Interaction & Pharmacognosy
6. S&T Support Services
Distant Research Centres
CSIR-NBRI has three Distant Research Centres – Banthra Research Centre, Biomass Research Centre and Aurawan Research Centre. These are situated near the village Banthra, about 22 km away from NBRI, Lucknow, on Lucknow Kanpur Road. All the three centres mostly serve as extension centres for the demonstration of agro-technologies developed by the institute, as well as for raising large-scale, experimental cultivations of different types of plants of economic importance.
Objectives
Basic and applied research on plant diversity and prospection, plant-environment interaction and biotechnological approches for plant improvement.
Development of technologies for new plant and microbial sources of commercial importance
Building up germplasm repository of plants of indigenous and exotic origin, including rare, endangered and threatened species
Providing expertise and assistance for identification, supply and exchange of plants and propagules, garden layout and landscaping
Dissemination of scientific knowledge and technologies on plants and microbial resources through publications, training, capacity building and extension activities
http://www.csir.res.in/
Vision and Mission
CSIR’s renewed mission is inspired by the remarks made by President of CSIR Society to CSIR to build”..the new CSIR that will fulfill the aspirations of modern India…”
So CSIR’s mission is simply – to build a new CSIR for a new India.
CSIR’s Vision
“Pursue science which strives for global impact, technology that enables innovation – driven industry and nurture trans-disciplinary leadership thereby catalysing inclusive economic development for the people of India”
The people and nation-centre thrust to science, technology and societal pursuits remains the cornerstone of CSIR’s mission. In view of rising dreams and aspirations of the nation, its expectation from CSIR and the other public funded institutions is ever increasing. Not only are the pace of scientific and technological growth and the aspirations of higher living standards evident today but also many age old myths of economy and growth have been broken; e.g., the shift from manufacturing to services; capital resources; population as a burden to human resource as an asset; national needs to international opportunities and so on. The changed scenario has inspired CSIR towards:
Science and Engineering leadership;
Innovative technology solutions;
Open innovation and crown sourcing;
Nurturing talent in transdisciplinary areas;
Science based entrepreneurship; and
Socio-economic transformation through S&T intervention.

AMAM is a charitable nonprofit holistic health association registered under Societies Registration Act 1860, with registration number 117.
AMAM aims to provide quality education, training, and service in the fields Ayurvedic Medicine. AMAM is dedicated to excellence in its educational programs and committed to being an educational community that embraces diversity of culture and thought, individual growth, collaborative relationships, and community services. AMAM addresses to the “Problems, Potential, and Possibilities” of relevance to the Ayurved industry. The rapidly changing business environment- locally and globally, presents a plethora of multidimensional issues facing the industry have compelled the Ayurved community to be sensitive to these changes, and get equipped to take on the challenges. AMAM aims at the growing and essential need of the Ayurved community, academia, research organizations and policy makers to keep abreast the latest trends and issues affecting the industry. The public use of herbal medicine has been steadily increasing over the past decade. As more and more people choose to use herbs as a therapeutic option, the scope of their application has been growing wider. While ten years ago the public use of herbs was for minor ailments now serious conditions are also given equal boost. A key perception amongst these consumers is that herbs are safe primarily because they are natural. Paradoxically, the natural nature of these preparations adds to the complexity of the quality assurance programs required by the herbal medicine industry to ensure their safety.
AMAM looks forward to get involved in the issues involved in herbal safety and to critically discuss the challenges the herbal medicine industry faces in meeting this primary consumer expectation. It takes up the issues of small and big manufacturers in Ayurvedic/Unani/Siddha/Herbal medicines in the country. AMAM leads the masses on issues related to procurement of raw material, quality control, drug standardization and other issues concerning regulatory authority and consumer.

Introduction
Medical education in Varanasi, the oldest living city of the world, dates from the days of Sushruta 500 BC. Infact this is also the history of Medical education in India. The great treatise – ‘Sushruta Samhita’ is a living testimony of contributions to Medical education that originated in Varanasi, Sushruta was the first to perform cadaver dissections and described a number of operating instruments and surgical operations. Perhaps it is a continuation of this historical perspective that Medical education in Banaras Hindu University took roots in 1920 with the establishment of Department of Ayurveda under Faculty of Oriental Learning and Theology (1922-1927). Under the influence of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviyaji, Seth Mathuradas Vissanji Khimji of Bombay donated a large some of Rs.1.5 Lacs for the Ayurvedic College. This was further augmented by donations from Shri Daya Shankar Dev Shankar Dave of Kathiawar and Bombay.
In the year 1924-25, Ayurvedic Aushadhalaya was established to 1. prepare medicines, 2. teach Ayurvedic students the formulations, and 3. make the Ayurvedic formulations available to general public at affordable price. To help in this arrangement a large Botanical Garden was created for raw materials that still continue to discharge its purpose.
In the next series of developments, Maharaja Sir Prabhu Narayan Singhji of Banaras laid the foundation stone of the Ayurvedic Hospital on 19th January 1924.
Years later, in 1960 the Ayurvedic College was converted to the College of Medical Sciences with Professor K.N. Uduppa as its founder principal. The College of Medical Sciences then had 10 Departments – 9 in Modern Medicine and 1 in Indian Medicine. In 1963, MBBS training was recognized both by General Medical Council, U.K. and Medical Council of India. The Post Graduate Institute of Indian Medicine (since 1963) was merged with Institute of Medical Sciences established in 1971.
The postgraduate medical education, started as in-service program in 1963 (3 years after establishment of Medical College), took the form of a formal training program in 1971 after due permission from the Visitor of the Banaras Hindu University i.e., the President of India. This upgraded College of Medical Sciences to Institute of Medical Sciences in 1971.
Further growth of postgraduate education continued with approval of DM and MCh courses in 10 Superspecialties in 1976. In 1978, the existing Faculty was bifurcated into the Faculty of Ayurveda and Faculty of Medicine to facilitate their independent growth.

About ICMR
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi, the apex body in India for the formulation, coordination and promotion of biomedical research, is one of the oldest medical research bodies in the world.
The ICMR has always attempted to address itself to the growing demands of scientific advances in biomedical research on the one hand, and to the need of finding practical solutions to the health problems of the country, on the other. The ICMR has come a long way from the days when it was known as the IRFA, but the Council is conscious of the fact that it still has miles to go in pursuit of scientific achievements as well as health targets. More…..

Various Training Programmes and Workshops conducted by ICMR Institutes and Headquarters
Emeritus Scientist Scheme
For retired medical scientists and teachers, the Council offers the position of Emeritus Scientist to enable them to continue or take up research on specific biomedical topics. The Council also awards prizes to Indian scientists, in recognition of significant contributions to biomedical research. At present, the Council offers 38 awards, of which 11 are meant exclusively for young scientists (below 40 years).
In the context of the changing public health scene, the balancing of research efforts between different competing fields, especially when resources are severely limited, is a typical problem encountered in the management of medical research, particularly in developing countries. Infectious diseases and excessive population growth have continued to constitute the major priorities to be addressed in medical research throughout the past several decades. In addition to tackling these issues, in recent years, research has been intensified progressively on emerging health problems such as Cardiovascular diseases, Metabolic disorders (including diabetes mellitus), Mental health problems, Neurological disorders, Blindness, Liver diseases, Hearing impairment, Cancer, Drug abuse, Accidents, Disabilities etc.. Research on Traditional Medicine/Herbal Remedies was revived with a disease-oriented approach. Attempts have been made to strengthen and streamline Medical Informatics and Communication to meet the growing demands and needs of the biomedical community. The Council is alert to new diseases and new dimensions of existing diseases, as exemplified by the rapid organization of a network of Surveillance Centres for AIDS in different states of India in 1986

Central Arid Zone Research Institute is a constituent of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) – an autonomous organisation of Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India. The institute owes its origin to Desert Afforestation Research Station (DARS) that was established 1952 for undertaking research work on stabilization of sand dunes and establishment of shelterbelts. DARS was reorganized as Desert Afforestation and Soil Conservation Station (DASCS) in 1957 which was renamed as Central Arid Zone Research Institute (CAZRI) in 1959. The institute was brought under the umbrella of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) in 1966.
CAZRI is the only institute in the country exclusively mandated for conducting research on issues of arid zone ecosystem. The mandates of institute include conducting basic and applied research on sustainable farming systems, to act as repository of information on the state of natural resources and desertification processes, developing livestock-based farming systems and range management practices, and generating and transferring location-specific technologies.
Apart from Jodhpur, research programmes of institute are also carried out from five Regional Research Station located at Bikaner, Pali and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan; Bhuj in Gujarat; and Leh in Jammu & Kashmir. In addition, institute has three Krishi Vigyan Kendra (Farm Science Centres) for undertaking frontline technology demonstrations. The institute also works in close liaison with international and national institutes; and other stakeholders working for the development of arid agro-ecosystem.
Institute undertakes a wide spectrum of research and development issues in the field of agriculture and allied disciplines in an integrated manner for sustainable land use and diversified livelihood options for the inhabitants of arid regions of India. Our focus in future would be developing more climate-resilient agriculture, enhancing farmers’ income through development and delivery of suitable technologies, and controlling land degradation in environmentally fragile arid ecosystem.
Over six decades, institute’s innovative approach and incessant efforts have greatly improved rural livelihoods in hot arid regions (~32 million ha area) of the country. We are now embarking upon cold arid regions (~7 million ha area).

Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, popularly known as CIMAP, is a frontier plant research laboratory of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). Established originally as Central Indian Medicinal Plants Organisation (CIMPO) in 1959, CIMAP is steering multidisciplinary high quality research in biological and chemical sciences and extending technologies and services to the farmers and entrepreneurs of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) with its research headquarter at Lucknow and Research Centres at Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pantnagar and Purara. CIMAP Research Centres are aptly situated in different agro-climatic zones of the country to facilitate multi-location field trials and research. A little more than 50 years since its inception, today, CIMAP has extended its wings overseas with scientific collaboration agreements with Malaysia. CSIR-CIMAP has signed two agreements to promote bilateral cooperation between India and Malaysia in research, development and commercialization of MAP related technologies. CIMAP’s contribution to the Indian economy through its MAPs research is well known. Mint varieties released and agro-packages developed and popularised by CIMAP has made India the global leader in mints and related industrial products. CIMAP has released several varieties of the MAPs, their complete agro-technology and post harvest packages which have revolutionised MAPs cultivation and business scenario of the country.Recognizing the urgent need for stimulating research on medicinal plants in the country and for coordinating and consolidating some work already done by organizations like the Indian council of Agricultural Research, Indian Council of Medical Research, Tropical School of Medicine of Culcutta and various States Governments and Individual workers, the Council Scientific and Industrial Research approved in 1957 the establishment of the Central Indian Medicinal Plants Organization (CIMPO) with the following objectives. ‘To co-ordinate and channelise along fruitful directions the present activities in the field of medicinal plants carried out by the various agencies, State Governments etc., to develop the already existing medicinal plants resources of India, to bring under cultivation some of the important medicinal plants in great demand and also to introduce the cultivation into the country of exotic medicinal plants of high yielding active principal content’ It was further decide that as the work on all aspects of cultivation of aromatics plants was identical with all the cultivation of medicinal plants, the aromatic plants should also be covered within the scope of CIMPO. The Essential Oils Research Committee functioning under the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research was then dissolve and its activities taken over by CIMPO. The Organization started functioning with effect from 26 March 1959 with the appointment of late Shri P.M. Nabar its first Officer Incharge.
Role of the Lab and Positioning : CIMAP is a unique lab of its kind in the entire globe, way ahead of its time even at the time of its establishment. As a ripple effect of CIMAP’s success and contribution, other research establishments have now started seriously considering MAPs in their portfolio. While conserving the plant genetic resources systematically and undertaking world class research work in plant science, CIMAP is equipping the nation with high-tech agriculture linked to industrial processing of MAPs. CIMAP is equipped with state-of-the-art multidisciplinary laboratories, ultra-modern instrumentation facilities and scientific expertise in agriculture, genetics and plant breeding, molecular taxonomy, molecular and structural biology, plant biotechnology, biochemistry, microbiology, bio energy and chemical sciences, apart from development of herbal products. CIMAP, Lucknow houses the National Gene Bank of medicinal and aromatic plants, in addition to seed gene bank, tissue and DNA bank. Further, Field Gene Bank of different varieties of MAPs is maintained at CIMAP Lucknow and its four research centres situated across the country.
From CIMAP Lab to Market CIMAP has been documenting and creating scientific knowledgebase relevant to MAPs for its efficient utilisation, facilitating the lab to market journey of medicinal and aromatic crops (MACs) through several important publications. Farm bulletins on various economically important MACs (e.g. Mint, Lemongrass, Palmarosa, Geranium, Withania, Artemisia, etc.) in Hindi, English and regional languages, Training manuals – ‘Aus Saathi’ and ‘MAPs Companion’, Crop calendars, a composite research journal ‘Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Sciences (JMAPS)’ covering research papers, and trade related information on MACs are published by CIMAP. Major impact making patents which resulted in major marketable technologies from CIMAP are Artemisia cultivation method (US 6,39,376), CIM-Arogya herb processing for artemisinin (IN 176679), development of arteether (IN 173947), artemisinin extraction process (US 5,955,08), CIM-Arogya – genetically tagged high yielding variety of Artemisia annua and its cultivation technology (US 6,393,763), cultivar Himalaya and Kosi of menthol mint (PP 10935, PP 12426) and method of producing mint plant Kushal (US 6,420, 174).
Sharing of Expertise and Knowledge,Technical Consultancy & setting up of National Facilities CIMAP Gene Bank established in 1993 as a follow up action taken in the summit of G-15 countries held at Caracas is one of the three National Gene Banks of the country that focuses on the conservation of MAPs of India in the form of seed, field, tissue and DNA banks. CIMAP has been designated by PPV&FRA (Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmer’s Rights Authority) as Nodal laboratory for developing National Test Guidelines for plant varieties protection and DUS (distinctiveness, uniformity and stability) testing of medicinal and aromatic plants and seed species. CIMAP Bio-village Mission is currently expanding the industrial cultivation of appropriate medicinal and aromatic plants nationwide from North to South India, and in Uttar Pradesh, from Lucknow in all directions. National Biodiversity Authority of India has recognized CIMAP as a Designated National Repository (DNR) under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, to keep in safe custody, specimens of different categories of biological material.
National and International Linkages CIMAP has been recognized as Focal Point for South East Asia by International Centre for Science and High Technology- United Nations Industrial Development Organization (ICS-UNIDO). CIMAP has scientific collaboration with Bulgarian Academy of Science for Rose oil technology. At National level CIMAP has established alliances with Indian Institute of Agriculture Research (IIAR), Gandhinagar (Gujarat) and North East Institute of Science & Technology (NEIST), Jorhat (Assam) for multiplier effect for its endeavour in western and North East Region, respectively. Internationally too, CSIR-CIMAP, Special Innovation Unit (UNIK) Corp, Malaysia, Office of the Prime Minister of Malaysia and Monash University, Sunaway Campus, Malaysia have entered into scientific agreement. The agreements envisage establishment of a Joint Innovation Accelerator Centre with expertise of CSIR-CIMAP in Malaysia to carry out research on areas of mutual interest such as green technologies, medicinal and aromatic plants and other innovative technologies. Both CSIR-CIMAP and UNIK will also explore and develop the use of herbs, plants, flowers and fruits for medicinal and aromatic purposes in Malaysia by way of improving extraction techniques, modern processes and herbal products.
Academics alliances-mentoring your minds To share a common desire to explore, extend and strengthen the functional relationship between Universities and National Scientific Institutes/ Laboratories of CSIR, CIMAP has signed MoUs with several universities including JNU, GB Pant University of Agriculture & Technology (GBPUAT), Pantnagar, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology (CSAUAT), Kanpur, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Universities of Allahabad and Lucknow among others. Towards the mission of bringing scientific excellence through University-Research Institution joint efforts, CIMAP has been recognized by Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, as its centre for research and academic activities in the field of Life Sciences. Other programs conducted regularly towards human resource development include entrepreneurship development programs, CIMAP Winter School (CWS), CIMAP Summer Training (CST), CIMAP Winter Training (CWT) on techniques and tools of biotechnology and bioinformatics, CIMAP Summer School (CSS) on molecular technologies in bio-prospection and biodiversity analysis, CIMAP training on Advanced Instrumentation and Analytical Techniques (AIAT), etc. CIMAP, Lucknow and its Research Centres regularly organizes training programs, entrepreneurship building programs, need based industrial trainings and awareness programs all over the country.
