Technical Attainments during the year CSIR’s HANSA-NG Aircraft Type Certified: |
India requires large number of pilot trainer aircraft to cater to the needs of |
the aviation sector. CSIR-NAL has indigenously designed and developed light |
aircraft Hansa-New Generation (NG) with advance features. Aircraft is Type |
Certified by the DGCA on 20 th February 2023 for DAY-VFR & NIGHT-VFR |
operations under JAR-VLA. CSIR-NAL has received Letter of Intents (LoI) for |
procurement of nearly 110 aircrafts from Flying clubs across the country. |
CSIR-CIMAP research lowers Nicotine content in Tobacco plant: CSIR-CIMAP has |
successfully lowered Nicotine content in the Petit Havana Tobacco plant |
variety by using a genome editing tool and reduced 60-70 per cent Nicotine in |
it, compared to Nicotine content in wild-type plants. CSIR-CIMAP further plans |
to lower Nicotine in commercial varieties to help people quit the habit by |
working on tobacco plant varieties used in cigarettes, cigars, beedi. First |
consignment of import substitute Hydrogen Hydrate dispatched: Gujarat Alkalies |
and Chemicals Limited (GACL) and CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology |
(IICT), Hyderabad, have jointly received patents for the indigenous process to |
manufacture Hydrazine Hydrate (H6N2O). A commercial plant of 10,000 TPA 80% |
Hydrazine Hydrate was designed by CSIR-IICT and was established by GACL at |
their Dahej complex. The first batch of the product was flagged off and was |
attended by Director, CSIR-IICT, MD-GACL and other officials. CSIR-NAL |
launches Q Plane and JALDOST Airboat: In a significant step towards advancing |
the capabilities of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in India, the CSIR-NAL |
unveiled the Q Plane – a lightweight all-electric hybrid UAV with vertical- |
take-off-and-landing capability during the curtain raiser of One Week, One |
Lab, on 2 nd August 2023. Designed for autonomous flight, the UAV has a range |
of 30 kilometres and endurance of up to 70 minutes. CSIR-NAL’s JALDOST, an |
airboat that operates on water and removes excess aquatic weed & floating |
waste from water bodies, was also launched. The JALDOST has a closed airtight |
pontoon type hull to make it inherently unsinkable. It has a hybrid propulsion |
system, comprising air propulsion and paddle wheel propulsion. CSIR-NAL has |
developed two versions of the airboat — JALDOST Mark-1 and an upgraded version |
JALDOST Mark-2. The JALDOST Mark-2 has been designed on the specifications |
given by BBMP and can be used to clean lakes in Bengaluru. It was also |
launched on 2 nd August 2023, during the curtain raiser of One Week, One Lab, |
of CSIR-NAL. Launch of CSIR’s Indigenous E-Tractor, CSIR Prima ET11: The |
Minister of State (Independent Charge), Science and Technology and Vice- |
President, CSIR, Dr. Jitendra Singh, on August 21 st , 2023, launched the |
compact E-Tractor CSIR PRIMA ET11, indigenously designed and developed by |
CSIR-CMERI to cater to small and marginal farmers of India. Installation of 10 |
TPD Biogas plant at Bowenapally Vegetable Market, Hyderabad: With the |
financial support from the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), GoI, CSIR-IICT |
has installed and operated a 10 ton per day biogas plant at Dr. BR Ambedkar |
Vegetable Market in Bowenpally where 10 tons of waste is converted to 500 - |
600 m3/day of biogas everyday along with liquid digestate that can be used as |
organic fertilizer. The biogas is used to replace grid power (approx. 400 |
kWh/day) and LPG consumption (28 – 30 kg/day). Launch of improved lotus |
variety ‘Namoh 108' : CSIR-NBRI launched an improved variety of the national |
flower Lotus with 108 petals called 'Namoh 108' on 14 th August 2023 during |
the inaugural of the One Week, One Lab campaign of CSIR-NBRI. The Lotus |
variety is more weather resilient and can flower from March to December. This |
lotus was brought by NBRI scientists from Manipur to conduct research on it. |
This is the first Lotus variety whose genome is completely sequenced. CSIR- |
NBRI also released apparels made from lotus fibre and perfume ‘Frotus’ |
developed from Lotus plants in collaboration with FFDC, Kannauj. Approval for |
Clinical Trials of Oral Contraceptive Pill ‘Levormeloxifene’: The Drugs |
Controller General of India (DCGI) approved the clinical trials of an oral |
