The objectives are: (1) Maintenance of gene pools of AMF for their further exploitation. Parallel task will be undertaken by GBPUAT for PGPR. (2) Development of axenic in vitro cultures of LL2 and ZTL isolates, which are the most-efficient AMF isolates selected from already conducted field trials, microcosms, in vitro and trap cultures. (3) Developing understanding on synergistic and/or antagonistic interactions between AMF and PGPR for their application in fields. (4) Development of formulation package of bio inoculants for their application in fields.

The study involves both quantitative and qualitative approaches. In the quantitative analysis, a time-series ecological study would be done with the pilot study sites serving as the unit of population. Regression analysis would be utilized for the years 1955-2005 to identify probable trends specific to the region.

This project includes development of a GEF/ UNDP FSP project fostering launch of an integrated program of pilot implementation, documentation, and capacity activities designed to support adaptation to climate change. The approach will develop strategies for responding to a combination of gradual change and the extreme climatic events anticipated as a result of climate change.

The project proposes to develop membrane filters using biomass fly ash as the starting material for high temperatures particulate removal from producer gas for power-generation application. Biomass ash from gasification of rice husk, bagasse, and other available biomass sources will be characterized and selected for membrane filter preparation. Membrane filters will be made using the technique of tape casting and sintering. Their particulate removal characteristics will be evaluated.

The scope of work is to undertake an independent assessment of Coca Cola (India)''s current water resources management practices. While doing so, the evaluation will also seek to ascertain the impact of pesticides on the quality of the intake water, if any, as well as the processes followed in ensuring quality by treating intake water during production of finished product.

The objective is to develop an integrated and environment-friendly process to enhance ethanol yield from lignocellulose. In order to hydrolyse the cellulosic portion of the substrate, two issues need to be mainly addressed. One, lignin dissolution with cleavage of ether linkage between lignin and cellulose molecule so as to produce a cellulose-rich residue. Second, hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose by means of effective cellulase enzyme system. Through this process, it has been envisaged that ethanol production would be enhanced from 25% to more than 80% conversion efficiency.

The objective of this Project is to develop an integrated communication strategy with the UNICEF and the Government of Karnataka for the generation of awareness among the rural masses about water quality issues, hygiene practices, habits for improved handling of water and the problems related to water borne diseases etc and suggest appropriate tools/channels for dissemination of these IEC developed. The project will lead to development of IEC materials mainly posters, charts, wallpaintings, manuals to be used by grassroot functionaries, a film on water quality issues and radio spots.
