New Delhi, Jan 16 || The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) worked to transform India’s scientific ecosystem by reinventing roads using green technology, protecting biodiversity, and boosting healthcare with indigenous diagnostic kits, according to a report.
In 2015, CSIR’s laboratories across the country played a significant role in developing innovations that strengthened infrastructure, improved healthcare outcomes, enhanced climate resilience, and reinforced India’s strategic autonomy, the Times of Oman reported.
“The year 2025 will be remembered as a defining chapter in India’s scientific journey -- one in which research moved decisively from laboratories to the heart of national development,” the report said.
Under the CSIR, the green technology was scaled up for enhancing more than 200 kilometres of rural roads in Uttar Pradesh.
The technology reduced emissions and enabled faster and all-weather construction.
