Council  of  Scientific  &  Industrial  Research  (CSIR)  is  an  autonomous  Research  and Development (R&D) organization involved in R&D in varied areas of science including medicinal plants. CSIR laboratories specially CSIRInstitute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT), CSIRNorth East Institute of Science & Technology (NEIST), CSIRCentral Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), CSIRNational Institute For Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST),  CSIRCentral  Institute  of  Medicinal  and  Aromatic  Plants  (CIMAP)  are  involved  in developing nutraceuticals through Mission Mode program implemented by CSIR. The nutraceutical industries both emerging and established ones are encouraged for commercial development of the nutraceutical developed by CSIR as well as industry in a collaborative mode.

CSIR has taken  a  significant  jump  and  developed  various  health  promoting  nutraceutical products based on locally available bio resource under Mission mode program on 'Nutraceuticals and Nutritionals - Health and Wellness Reach out through Nutraceuticals and Nutritionals' (20182020) and 'Immunity Mission - Immunomodulatory Function of Nutritionals and Nutraceuticals for Health and Wellness (2021-2023). The major breakthroughs from CSIR-IHBT are development of nutraceutical formulations  for Vitamin  -D  enrichment,  bone  &  cartilage  health,  cognition, immunity  and  sleep  disorders  management.  Considering  the  societal  responsibilities  of  CSIR, region specific and Pan Indian Nutritious Breakfast/Tiffin/Snacks like products for School children that  meets  the  Recommended  Dietary  Allowances  (RDA)  requirement  of  nutrients  through  food based approach were also developed. The nutraceutical products developed in these missions are scientifically validated and had undergone Human Intervention Trials for their safety and efficacy. Under CSIR  Mission on Nutraceuticals and Nutritionals following nutraceutical products developed, such as Nutraceutical formulation for increased bioavailability of Vit B12, Development of  vitamin  D2  enriched  formulations  from Lentinula  edodes (Shiitake),  Kaempferol-enriched nutraceutical for ageing bone, Punica granatum peel based nutraceutical for cartilage health based on traditional knowledge, Nutraceutical for management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Pan India nutrifoods for breakfast (Instant Nutri Upma, Instant Nutri Poha, Instant Nutri Khichdi etc.)

Under CSIR Immunity Mission a number of immunomodulatory herbs and their combinations,  including  tea  polyphenols  were  explored  to  combat  immune  dysfunction.  A comprehensive monograph with digital documentation and development of web portal on locally consumed fruits and vegetables, their phytoconstituents and immunity boosting properties was also developed under the mission. Furthermore, the plant specific screening by computational approaches  for  immunoboosting  phytochemicals,  including  their  interaction  and  pharmacological profile was also revealed.

CSIR-Central  Institute  of  Medicinal  and  Aromatic  Plants  (CSIR-CIMAP),  Lucknow  is promoting medicinal and aromatic plants-based activities in different parts of the country including Maharashtra  through  development  of  improved  agro-technologies,  high  yielding  varieties  and processing  technologies  of  medicinal  and  aromatic  plants.  Efforts  have  also  been  done  for technology dissemination among farmers and entrepreneurs by conducting various awareness and training  programmes  on  production,  primary  processing  and  marketing  aspects  of  medicinal  and aromatic plants. During last four years and current year 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24, a total of 10 Kisan Melas were organized in which about 24,200 farmers, entrepreneurs and  industry  representatives  participated  and  gained  the  knowledge  about  medicinal  &  aromatic plants. During the same period, total 59 with two-to-three days' skill-cum-technology up-gradation training programmes were also organized by the institute in various states of country in which a total  of  3462  farmers/entrepreneurs  got  skilled.  Total  181  one-day  out-reach  awareness-cumtraining  programmes  were  also  organized,  in  which  11,649  farmers  were  made  aware  on  the cultivation  and  processing  aspects  of  medicinal  and  aromatic  plants  in  different  regions  of  the country. CSIR-CIMAP has developed some nutraceutical products such as CIM-Phalse and CIMPaushak for industry.
