| Department of Biotechnology and TERI set up platform to orient nanobiotechnology research towards real-world solutions |
| |
The Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, and the TERI-Deakin Nanobiotechnology Centre (TDNBC) have set up Nanobiotech@DBT, India’s first platform to bring together the nanobiotechnology community and translate lab-based research into scalable ideas. The idea is for this to lead to the kind of real-world applications required by farmers, doctors, and others in allied areas.

Drought Proofing India: Key Learnings from Bundelkhand Drought Mitigation Package
|
|
Bundelkhand Drought Mitigation Package was implemented by NITI Aayog in 13 drought prone districts of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh to reduce the impact of drought on the local communities. With a total outlay of Rs. 7466 crore, the implementation of the package is still a challenge.

Drying up antimicrobial resistance with innovative wastewater treatment
|
| |
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognised as a growing public health threat across the world. Studies show that pharmaceutical residues in soil and water provide ideal breeding grounds for drug-resistant bacteria. There is an urgent need for AMR researchers to work with scientists and industries across disciplines to find out the AMR transmission and control mechanisms.
Now, a simple treatment system being developed by TERI and The University of Pannonia, Hungary holds promise of an effective way to remediate pharmaceuticals from wastewater.
