January 3, 2014
The main objectives of this project are to:Reduce climate change by reducing urban garbage accmulation and reduce methane generation;
Formulate a co-operative plan to manage domestic waste by empowering grass-root level community according to the win-win concept;
Programme stakeholders for the project sustainability;
Share the experience with other interested cities through city-to-city programme; and
Create a national climate change reducing policy by sharing proven experiences with the country policy-makers.
Evaluation of maize genotypes for silicon induced abiotic stress- drought tolerance and revealing the mechanism behind stress tolerance
March 25, 2008 to
January 3, 2014
Maize is considered as a promising option for diversifying agriculture in India. Under high altitude temperate regions, with small growing season (3-4 months) and limited irrigation water availability, the reduction in the yield is much higher. Since opportunities are limited for further expansion of maize area in these regions, the future increases in maize supply will be achieved through understanding and adopting the practices which can reduce the losses of abiotic and biotic stresses. Hence working for drought tolerance under such conditions is mandatory.Development of database of equipment funded under extramural R&D projects
September 15, 2010 to
December 31, 2013
The project will conduct a nation-wide survey of EMR projects, each costing Rs 50 lakhs and above and having items of equipment each costing Rs 10 lakhs and above, approved by Central Government Agencies/Departments during the period 2003-04 to 2007-08; Collect data of equipment pertaining to the EMR projects; Inventorise all items of equipment, and develop a database that catalogues and provides access to all such significant equipment.India-Japan Energy Forum 2013: Expanding technology cooperation in energy-efficiency, renewables and smart community

Renewable energy-based rural electrification: The mini-grid experience from India
October 1, 2011 to
December 30, 2013
As part of the study, TERI will examine the renewable energy-based mini-grid experiences in India, especially solar PV and biomass based, implemented primarily under the Remote Village Electrification Programme and also Solar PV Demonstration Programme and the Village Energy Security Programme of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The objective is to optimally use smarter control of distributed energy sources combined with intelligent management of loads to improve efficiency and reliability of the overall system.Design of Green Warehouse (10,000 MT capacity) Complex
July 1, 2013 to
December 30, 2013
CWC has sought TERI's expertise to develop a Design of Green Warehouse which then can be replicated all across the country.
Rhythms from the River Bank
November 1, 2012 to
December 27, 2013
‘Rhythms from the River Banks’ is an exploratory project on art and culture in ‘River cities’ in India as they exist today. It is an attempt to provide young people with a sense of rootedness and develop their leadership skills to steer societies towards a culture of sustainability and coexistence.
The Energy Report – India:100% Renewable Energy by 2050
April 11, 2012 to
December 10, 2013
The objective of this study is to examine the possibility of increasing the share of renewables to 100% (or to as high as possible), to enable an appreciation of the role that renewables can play in India's energy future and assess the implications of such a dramatic change in the proposed energy mix. Based on the scenario approach using the MARKAL model, a BAU scenario would be compared with alternative scenarios representing increasing level of renewables.
