The Japan Consulting Institute proposes to set up a CDM (clean development mechanism) Promotion Platform Scheme, which will provide an opportunity for interaction between the EPC suppliers possessing unique technology in the areas of energy conservation and air pollution control in Japan and industries in India that may want to use these technologies to develop the CDM projects. The platform will also identify potential investors who want to invest in particular CDM projects.

The objective is to understand the nature and mechanism of membrane fouling during the ultrafiltration of multi-component feed streams. This would form the basis for the design of low fouling polymeric membranes capable of withstanding variations in feed composition including shock loads of foulants. The experiment work will involve functionalization of membrane surfaces using heterogeneous photo initiated graft copolymerization.

The objective of this study is to assess capacity of households engaged in agriculture to cope with the current climatic variability and water stress. This would be done through a participatory approach to assess vulnerability and adaptive capacity at the local level. The broader objective is to explore possible scenarios of interventions that can help build adaptive capacity.
