Interaction with industry, relevance to Indian Technology needs, Economic Advancements resulting as a consequence
Adoption of Villages Project Area : Rural Village (s) : Santospur Block/Taluka : Bishra District : Sundargarh State : Odisha • Healthcare awareness program: General health care issues like sanitation, food & nutrition, common infection & prevention • Motivating & capacity building by launching micro-enterprises in the area of cultivation of medicinal plant & preparation of plant extract for osteoarthritis tissue diseases etc • Technology Transfer : Cost effective wound dressing materials
Plan for the next half year (Oct-Mar 2017) Note: The balance amount shall be exhausted by January 2017 and an additional fund Rs. 71 lakhs is requested
Key Issues/Concerns Pertaining to the Centre • Too much delay in getting approval for establishment of animal house facility (mandatory for FDA Approval) • Clean Room Facility is required for manufacturing clinical grade products (mandatory for FDA Approval) which is under pipeline under main TEQIP-II • Requirement of man power on permanent basis like faculty, scientist, technical/supporting staffs etc.
Future Work • Generation of Tissue Grafts with the developed scaffold and stem cells • In vivo animal testing of the scaffold and tissue grafts ( in collaboration with Advanced Cell Pvt. Ltd Noida) • Fabrication of Rapid prototyping machine & its possible commercialization • Development of skin substitutes for burn patient (in collaboration with AIIMs) • Drug screening Kit with the developed construct (associated product)
