CSIR-CBRI

Technology Transfer Agreement was formally signed at INSA on occasion of National Science Day in distinguished presence of Hon’ble Union Minister for S&T, Dr. Jitendra Singh. Inventors of the Technology: Dr.Srinivas Naik B,Dr.Debdutta Ghosh,Dr.Rachit Agrawal,Ms.Sweta Singh

CSIR-CBRI has successfully transferred the technology titled “Process and Know-how for Preparation of Copper-Doped Nano Titania” to Rebuilt Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Today Mr. Nagesh Pratap Singh, IDDP student of AcSIR-CBRI Academy successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled “Investigation of Accelerated Carbonation Cured Pervious Concrete & its Application in Reinforced Soil Structures" under guidance of Dr. Santha Kr and Dr. Ganesh Kr.

The event featured addresses by Prof. R. Pradeep Kumar, Director, CBRI. Dr. N. Gopalakrishnan, former Director of CSIR–CBRI as the Chief Guest while Mr. Duryodhan Sethi, CoFA, CSIR and currently Finance Officer, Central University of Odisha as the Guest of Honour.

As part of 80th Foundation Day celebrations of CSIR–CBRI, an Open Day educational visit was organized for 64 students and 8 faculty members from Methodist Girls’ College, Roorkee, coordinated by Dr. Neeraj Jain, Head–ODS, and Dr. Hemlata, Senior Scientist.

My address at the 2nd Foundation Day of 'Anusandhan' National Research Foundation': Key Takeaways: "India’s research ecosystem is entering a decisive new phase, with the 'Anusandhan' National Research Foundation #ANRF emerging as a catalyst for globally aligned, mission-driven, partnership-based research and innovation. ANRF sets course for India’s innovation-led journey to 2047, strengthening R&D driven economic growth. It is a rare institutional reform shaped through sustained deliberations and wide-ranging consultations; designed after studying global research models while creating a framework suited to India’s scientific, social, and cultural context. Post-pandemic world has renewed international interest in indigenous knowledge systems. India is, therefore, uniquely positioned to contribute original research perspectives, including in areas where traditional knowledge complements modern science. ANRF differs from conventional research funding agencies, by being a fund generating enabler. It emphasises collaboration across disciplines and sectors, including the non-government sector. Early response to the Foundation’s programmes, particularly the strong participation from the private sector, signals a gradual shift in India’s research culture and mindset from silos to outcome-oriented collaboration".

My intervention in #RajyaSabha on #BharatGen — India’s first government-owned, sovereign, Large Language Model, #LLM, powered by AI.

141 Students along with 6 faculties of PM Shri KV, IMA, Dehradun visited CSIR–CBRI for an educational visit under Jigyasa initiative program aimed at enhancing awareness of scientific research and innovation.

"From ideas to impactful outcomes. Innovation at @csir_niist shows how small things and small steps can lead to bigger breakthroughs—demonstrating the growing impact of technology in daily life". Indoor light harvesting using innovative methods! #CSIR, Ministry of Science and Technology

Addressed Annual Atal Innovation Incubator Conclave "AIM SUMVAAD" at Ambedkar International Centre, New Delhi. Linked "Atal Innovation Mission" with the @narendramodi government's thrust on innovation led growth and scalable #StartUps. Significantly, the Budget 2026–27 also gives momentum to Startups and women-centric entrepreneurship or Self Help Entrepreneurs (SHE), with focus on 'ease of doing business'. India’s Startup count jumps from 350 to over 2 Lakh as Biomanufacturing emerges as a new growth engine in the Budget narrative.

To promote #Astrophysics & #Astronomy, four Telescope infrastructure facilities will be set up or upgraded - National Large Solar Telescope, National Large Infrared Optical Telescope, Himalayan Chandra Telescope and Cosmos-2 planetarium. -Smt. @nsitharaman #DST, Ministry of Science and Technology #ViksitBharatBudget

To develop India as a global bio-pharma manufacturing hub, I propose Bio Pharma Shakti with an outlay of Rs 10,000 crores over the next 5 years. This will build an ecosystem for the domestic production of biologics and biosimilars. -Smt. @nsitharaman #DBT, Ministry of Science and Technology #ViksitBharatBudget

CSIR-CBRI participated in Exhibition during Technology and Innovation Conclave 2.0 held from 28–30 Jan 2026 at an event jointly organized by DSIR, Ministry of Science & Technology and Asian and Pacific Centre for Transfer of Technology (APCTT) of UN-ESCAP.

#Udhampur #Kaladi: Discussed with  Director "Central Food Technology Research Institute" (CSIR-CFTRI), Mysuru, Dr. Giridhar Parvatam the options and possible methodologies to upscale "Kaladi", the GI-tagged traditional dairy product from Udhampur district in Jammu & Kashmir, for wider food applications and recipes, while strictly preserving its original flavour, texture, and nutritional identity. It is the same institute that recently developed successful technology to upscale Millet which is now being offered in different recipes by the popular McDonald's outlets. The limited shelf life is the biggest constraint in expanding "Kaladi" beyond local markets and therefore, improving shelf life through scientific validation, proper packaging, and processing, without altering its core properties, is essential for marketability and export potential. The wide scope for food recipe diversification, including fresh consumption, functional forms and alternative culinary applications can be tried, provided the traditional milky flavour, mouthfeel, and stretchable texture of Kaladi are retained.
