Air and Water Quality report of Maharashtra
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) regularly monitors the qualitative state of the water resources across the state as well as the air quality across various locations in the state. TERI has been extending support to the State Pollution Control Board in sorting and analyzing the data sets whilst developing graphical and spatial illustrations.
Mapping, identification of molecular markers associated with heat tolerance QTLs in tomato
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
Tomato is one of the most significant vegetable crops grown worldwide. However, important traits such as pollen meiosis, germination, ovule development, viability and development of the embryo and fruit set of most tomato cultivars are adversely affected under temperatures higher than 35°C. This leads to non-availability in certain months.
Engineering the Nodulation Signaling Pathway in Rice Plant
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
The study aims to engineer Nodulation signal perception mechanism in rice plant. This is a critical step in paving way for the development of N2-fixing symbiosis in this cereal crop to enable it to synthesise its own nitrogen fertiliser for its growth, akin to legumes.
Ecological baseline assessment and biodiversity mapping of coastal ecosystem
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
A project supported by GIZ assesses the ecological baseline of the coastal marine protected area – the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary in Chorao, Goa. The broad objectives of this project is conducting review and suggest participatory management of the Island estuarine ecosystem and to conduct baseline assessment of ecological status of the marine protected area.
Enabling Cities to Implement Innovative Sustainable Urban Solutions
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Habitat | Climate Change
India is on the cusp of urbanisation with around 34% of the country’s population currently living in cities and a rate of urbanisation higher than most South Asian countries. By 2030, it is expected that 40% of India’s population will be living in urban areas, contributing to more than two-thirds of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).
Demonstration of geothermal heat pump system integrated with renewable energy system in Arunachal Pradesh at Kimin General Hospital
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Buildings
TERI has designed and commissioned a geothermal-based heat pump system for space cooling and heating in Arunachal Pradesh as a pilot technology demonstration at the Science Center.
Off the grid sensor controlled irrigation using bank filtration technology
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
The main objectives of this project are to: (1) Provide clean water to farmers using bank filtration technology; (2) Provide renewable electric power to off-the-grid farmers, thereby reducing stress on current electricity infrastructure; (3) Provide increased effectiveness solution for water use by farmers using IoT-based system.
Banana fiber extraction by mycogenic pectinase and surface modification through laccase enzymes thereafter - an eco-friendly approach
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
Enzymatic retting and processing of banana fibers with mycogenic pectinase supported by standardization of effective surface modification treatments parameter through mycogenic laccase enzymes will results in solution of simple processing and their utilization perspective as renewable fiber sources to open the ways for industrial areas of uses.
Energy access for livelihood promotion (Phase-IV)
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
Indus Towers has supported TERI for its LaBL (Lighting a Billion Lives) program. With the help of such assistance, in more than 500 villages in the state of Uttar Pradesh, it has been possible to address the issues of basic lighting and other energy needs through installation of centralized solar charging station (SCS /SMG) and solar home lighting systems.
