  1. \"Assistance for S&T Applications\"<\/li>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    The commission has initiated a program to invite proposals on innovative applications of science and technology for socio-economic development. This application could be linked to the material resources, specific issues related to, and potential for, development; the activities could be area-specific or sector specific.<\/p>\r\n

    Guidelines for submission of the proposals are available here:-<\/p>\r\n

    \"word Guidelines and formats.<\/a>(Language-English[Doc],Size-58.50 KB) The scheme is now widely circulated and has received
    \r\n an encouraging response. The project ideas, as well as detailed proposals received, are scrutinized by a peer review committee, followed by a review by experts in the field and finally submitted for approval by the appraisal committee set up by the Commission.<\/p>\r\n

    The Commission encourages collaborative\/networked projects and programs of National S&T Agencies<\/p>\r\n

  2. \u201cAssistance for S&T Applications through University System\u201d.<\/li>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    To spread project activity and extend research culture to smaller institutions, the Commission is implementing a scheme through the university network. Projects of short duration and linked to local resources, skills, problems and development needs are expected to be implemented at science and engineering colleges and even polytechnics. Presently following Universities are implementing the scheme. <\/p>\r\n
