Climate and Development Research Review

June 6, 2011 to
November 15, 2012
The 2011 Climate and Development Research Review is that it will provide an expert summary of the best research on key aspects of climate and development worldwide in a readable and informative format. This publication will be something that policy advisers will want to use and disseminate to colleagues, as essential background reading to support their decision making.

Development of integrated genetic linkage map and marker assisted selection in tea

September 29, 2006 to
November 2, 2012
The proposal envisages to develop a molecular genetic linkage map in tea which can be used to help tea breeders in crossing and selection of progeny with desired combination of traits based on associated molecular markers.

ITEC Training Programme on Trade and Sustainable Development

October 1, 2008 to
October 22, 2012
The course seeks to enhance capacity of stakeholders from developing countries on different dimensions of
trade and sustainable development. It would provide an introduction to multilateral and regional trade
regime, global institutions and sustainability, multilateral environmental agreements and trade linkage. There
would be special focus on developing country concerns and south-south trade.

Overview of the Indian Building Sector Analysis of its energy saving potential and pre-identification of large-scale Energy Efficiency Programs

January 15, 2012 to
October 6, 2012

The objective of this assignment is to compile all the data available related to the Indian building sector that will contribute towards providing a rough and critical estimation of the energy balance for the whole building sector and its sub-sectors.

Convert Tender Coconut Husk into Convenient Form of Fuel for Clean Combustion

November 1, 2010 to
September 30, 2012
The project objectives are to analyze the tender coconut husk in its available form and to analyze its fuel properties. This project aims to study various aspects for using tender coconut husk as clean combustion fuel in domestic stoves and to promote smokeless and environment-friendly practices in rural house holds. The project aims to develop a process for conversion of coconut husk into convenient form of fuel and to develop and demonstrate a fuel processor unit and a dryer.

Improvement of Malbhog, a Commercially Important Indigenous Banana of Assam, through Mutation Induction

October 10, 2007 to
September 28, 2012
Malbhog is a medium tall, most preferred indigenous table banana variety (AAB genomic group) of Assam that bears fruit in 18 months, yields about 8-9 kg per bunch and is prone to disease infestation and pest attack. Banana bunchy top virus has threatened banana propagation, field production and germplasm conservation. The proposed research aims to identify and establish virus free Malbhog germplasm bank. These materials would be useful as explant source for micropropagation of virus free quality planting materials.

Due diligence of wind power project in Maharashtra

February 18, 2011 to
September 24, 2012
Due diligence activity involves the independent assessment of the energy generation estimation from the 25 MW wind power project in a proposed site using WAsP. The input data of site wind conditions, contour, roughness, wind turbine locations and the wind turbine characteristics have been used for annual energy generation estimation from wind farm. The uncertainty analysis had been carried out to estimate the energy generation at confidence intervals of P50, P75, P90 and P95.

Supporting fuel subsidy reform in India

August 1, 2011 to
September 18, 2012
This project aims to bring together research organisations and policy makers to initiate a reform in fuel pricing policy in India. The project is being led by the Global Subsidies Initiative of IISD with TERI and NIPFP (National Institute of Public Finance and Policy) as local partners.

Validation, testing, and locational trials of micro/macro propagated planting stock of selected bamboo species in Northeast India

August 25, 2004 to
September 11, 2012
The objectives are (1) validation of package of practices for high yield plantation for bamboo, timber and bamboo shoot including establishment/upgradation of nursery/plant multiplication facility, (2) locational trials to study the performance of macro and micro propagated planting stock of selected bamboo species in different North East States.
