April 1, 2007 to
August 25, 2010
This three year research (April 2007 - March 2010) will, through a focus on India, examine various aspects of developing country capability needed to (i) respond to Nanotechnology (NT) challenges, (ii) engage with NT developments and debates, and (iii) help establish an innovative governance framework. The research will have two components: a global and an Indian case study component and these will be linked as information and analysis of global developments will help inform the case study and the insights from the case study will help inform the global debate.Analysis of the rural electrification strategy with special focus on the franchise system in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Karnataka
June 4, 2009 to
August 23, 2010
The project is to analyse the rural electrification strategy in the state of Andhara Predesh, Karnataka and Orisse.

March 15, 2010 to
August 18, 2010
Water quality and conservation are important indicators of the overall growth of a community as it is intrinsically linked to human health, socio-economic growth, major ecosystems, environmental goods and services and sustainable development. With regard to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), water quality would be a major factor in achieving our objectives within the stipulated time period. In addition, climate change poses a great threat to both the quality and quantity of water resources; it is worsening the already existing scarcity and the regional inequality of the resource.Isolation of key regulatory elements controlling development of flowering traits in Brassica species
