KEY POINTS

·        The immediate priority of the CSIR was to establish a number of national laboratories under its umbrella, and also promote similar organisations independently.

·        A key mandate of the CSIR was, therefore, to help develop local industries by making contemporary technologies available and training requisite manpower.

·        A prominent example of the CSIR’s contributions in this context has been in developing the leather industry.

·        The making of finished leather products had remained elusive in the absence of a well-established leather industry and relevant technologies.

·        Further, the CSIR-CLRI routinely trained the next generation manpower for the leather industry.

·        Similarly, production of anti-HIV drugs by processes developed in CSIR laboratories provided the necessary impetus to the growth of generic pharmaceutical companies.

·        The Aroma Mission of the CSIR in recent times has been transforming the lives of thousands of farmers across the country.

·        The cultivation of lavender in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has been attracting attention worldwide as India’s ‘Purple Revolution’.

·        Moreover, the ancient wisdom of integrating science and spirituality by enhancing our understanding of nature in association with that of the human mind and spirit will be the fond hope of the science and technology community of India.
