CSIR has developed technologies for: food and food processing; water; healthcare; building and construction; environment and sanitation; rural roads; cultivation and processing economic plants; machinery; leather; pottery etc: The technologies developed have been gainfully utilized in several states and contributed for improving quality of life and economic growth of common people:

CSIR has developed a number of technologies on water, ranging from source finding to mapping of water resources, from quality assessment to enhancing potability of water and from recycling to waste water treatment: The technology for community scale RO desalination plants has been developed. The RO plants in various states (Rajasthan, Tamil on the technology: Further, technology for arsenic removal from water has been developed and based on the same common people have benefitted in the state of West Bengal: Also high flux hollow fibre membrane based technology for water disinfection and purification at affordable cost has been developed and is being used at commercial level:

CSIR has developed KrishiShakti, a small range (11.2 hp) diesel engine tractor. The technology of the same has been transferred and manufacturing has been initiated in West Bengal: The tractor was launched in Delhi on 20th November 2014. During the five tractors were handed over to farmers. The KrishiShakti has enabled farmers with small land holdings for effective tilling:

A cost effective and efficient anti tarnishing lacquer has been developed for brasswares, helping the Moradabad brass cluster. The developed lacquer is very efficient to prevent tarnishing for Iong durations. Also, energy efficient brass melting furnace has been developed which is smoke-free coal furnace, handles more charge (brass melt), reduces gas emission and pollution by 80% and consumes 20% less coal. It is user friendly as artisans can adopt this furnace without changing their current practices and like the present furnace, this modified version can also be repaired by the artisans. The knowhow has been transferred for commercial use.

CSIR has developed an indigenous substitute of Ukraine clay in granito ceramic tiles which has reduced the Ukraine requirement from 20% to about reducing thus the foreign material import and associated costs. This has made major economic difference and benefitted small and medium scale enterprises in Gujarat: clay 1%, food processing unit has been set up at CSIR-Centre for High Altitude Biology (CSIR-CeHAB) in the remote tribal region of Lahaul and Spiti: A brining unit has been designed and prototype developed for the preservation of Iocally and abundantly produced peas and cauliflowers. The knowhow was showcased at the District level Tribal Fair at Keylong and training organized for the benefit of progressive farmers in the area of food and food processing:  making novel products from Buckwheat; and also brining of the peas which is a major crop.

CSIR has worked with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) for the development of highly priced rice variety, Samba Mahsuri, resistant to the serious Bacterial  Blight (BB) disease. This new variety called, improved Samba Mahsuri has been released for commercial cultivation and is being very much appreciated by farmers growing rice.

CSIR in collaboration with Rice Research Station, Chinsurah, West Bengal has developed novel low grain arsenic accumulating rice genotype: The variety which is named as "Muktashree" will be soon released for cultivation in vast arsenic affected belts of West Bengal:

A novel variety of Ashwagandha with high root yield of 15 quintallhectare has been developed and released to farmers which would help farmers with more earnings: The Ashwagandha has useful applications in pharma applications anti-inflammatory, anti-stroke

as and anti-arthritis drug adjuvant:

CSIR has developed a new variety   'CIM-Jyoti' of Ocimum through intensive breeding efforts for high yield of herb and essential oil with desirable quality of  higher citral (68-75%). This  variety will produce citral in a short duration of 70-80 It also fits in crop rotationlintercropping between wheat and paddy and with other vegetable crops of small farmers. Leaves of this variety can also be used in lemon days. tea.

The people of North East India make a number of leather products but were unable to reach the market and earn desired profit due to lack of aesthetic appeal and standardisation. There was a need to transform this knowledge into wealth by increasing the value of the products without losing its real essence. CSIR carried out a comprehensive survey in the north eastern region: Based on the inputs from the survey, new ranges of products were developed: The handbags are crafted and designed with the ethnic materials of the northeast and the inspirations are derived from Ornaments, Dresses & Artifacts adorned tribal folks of the northeast India: The products were displayed in various nationall international fairs and have attracted many enquiries. This has benefited the women entrepreneurs of North Eastern region: they by

CSIR has set up post-harvest centres in Mizoram (Aizawl) and Arunachal Pradesh (Pashighat): These centres are focused at helping the Iocal farmers in the region for value addition to their agricultural produce. The centres house technology for high efficiency drying and processing of ginger, cardamom, turmeric, chilies etc. The farmers are able to sell their produce at 20 25% higher price to the processing centres set up. The CSIR Post Harvest Technology Centres would generate direct employment to about 300 people:

CSIR has introduced and commercialized Lilium cultivation in Lahaul and Spiti region of Himachal Pradesh: CSIR has played a catalytic role in the promotion of commercial floriculture in Himachal Pradesh: The transfer of agro-technology of Lilium in the region was realized by the flower growers through sale of cut flowers at Delhi flower market: Over 3000 farmers are engaged in floriculture in Himachal Pradesh:

CSIR has developed knowhow for easy cultivation of  economically important seaweed, namely Kappaphycusalvarezii; which was disseminated to the fishing community in coastal regions of Tamil Nadu as supplementary activity to existing fishing activities. Presently, more than eight hundred Self-Help Groups (SHGs) are engaged in seaweed farming in the region: It  provides a regular and sustainable income source for women, with each of them earning on an average Rs: 5000/per month for a period of eight months in a year: CSIR has further developed integrated process for simultaneous recovery of two products from the harvested fresh seaweed, namely, hydrocolloid of commercial use and liquid biofertilizer for use by farmers.

CSIR has been adopting  villages to promote employment generation and income augmentation: It has thus catalyzed commercial cultivation of Geranium in Uttaranchal and Lavender in Jammu & Kashmir through community participation: In these end to end missions, farmers have been trained not only for cultivation of Geranium and Lavender but also for extraction of oil, augmenting thus their income. Likewise CSIR efforts through development of niche Mentha varieties and their propagation for mass cultivation are noteworthy: The efforts have led to economic growth and have enabled India to acquire a world leadership position in Menthol mint oil production and export:
