Study of compensation to resource bearing states
October 27, 2006 to April 23, 2008
| Completed Project
To understand the context and meaning of compensation to resource bearing states (Hydropower, coal, selected major minerals, oil and natural gas). To examine various issues - constitutional, legal and regulatory, economic, environmental and issues of equitable sharing of compensation between various stakeholder groups.
Molecular characterization of Jatropha curcas germplasm
October 16, 2006 to October 15, 2010
| Completed Project
In this proposal, we intend to a) estimate the molecular genetic diversity of Jatropha curcas accessions characterised for oil content and agronomic traits under DBT funded network project, b) development of a molecular linkage map using AFLP markers and c) identification of molecular markers linked with genes /QTLs controlling seed yield and oil content.
Concurrent evaluation of franchisee system in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Karnataka
October 12, 2006 to September 28, 2007
| Completed Project

Multilocation field trial of Curcuma longa var. Lakadong in different agro-climate zones of North East India for ascertaining factors influencing curcumin content in the region
October 5, 2006 to November 18, 2011
| Completed Project
Higher curcumin content of turmeric fetches better price in international market. The curcumin content may vary between different varieties of turmeric (Curcuma longa). Further, the developmental status of the rhizome and various agroclimatic factors can also influence the curcumin content significantly.
Power Sector study in India
October 3, 2006 to January 15, 2007

The other objective is to study the financial position and organizational and management structure of AP Transco and Mahatransco (transmission companies in both states)
Isolation and characterization of biologically active saponins from Chlorophytum species
October 1, 2006 to November 30, 2010
| Completed Project
The purpose of this project is to carry out isolation, structure determination by modern NMR and MS techniques and bioassays of steroid saponins from Chlorophytum species indigenous to India in order to find new biologically active compounds as potent cytotoxic agents which could find applications in Phytomedicine or as insecticidal agents which could find applications in the economic food-agricul
Green cover for crops!

| Completed Project
Integrated pest management or IPM is the strategy for maximizing the use of bio-pesticide with need-based use of pesticides. For many years now, TERI has been involved in the demonstration of IPM packages to farmers.
Development of integrated genetic linkage map and marker assisted selection in tea
September 29, 2006 to November 2, 2012
| Completed Project
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.
Third Party Water Assessment
September 18, 2006 to January 23, 2008
| Completed Project
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.
