## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND EARTH SCIENCES (DR. HARSH VARDHAN)

- Yes, Madam.
- (b) The  Council  of  Scientific  and  Industrial  Research  (CSIR)  has  been playing important role in providing the necessary Science & Technology  knowledgebase  needed  for  the  social  and  economic development of the common people. CSIR has steadily contributed its technologies/  interventions/  advisory  services  encompassing  end-toend  solutions  in  various  domains  like:  Medicinal  &  Aromatic  Pants, Pottery; Enhancing Potability of Water; Energy Efficiency; and Metallurgy, etc.

In the state of Jharkhand, twenty-six key projects have  been initiated/implemented  during  last  three  years  by  four  CSIR  labs namely  (i)  CSIR-CIMAP  (Central  Institute  of  Medicinal  and  Aromatic Plants),  Lucknow,  (ii)  CSIR-CIMFR  (CSIR-Central  Institute  of  Mining and  Fuel  Research),  Dhanbad,  (iii)  CSIR-NEIST  (CSIR-  North  East Institute of Science and Technology), Jorhat, and (iv) CSIR-NML (CSIRNational Metallurgical Laboratory), Jamshedpur for benefit of common people. The details of these projects are enclosed at Annexure-I.
