To carry out scientific research pertaining to DNA profiling and related analysis in civil cases like paternity disputes, immigration, and exchange of newborns in hospitals, for various agencies including private parties, on appropriate payment; ii. To provide DNA fingerprinting and related analysis and facilities to crime investigation agencies; iii. To assist police personnel, forensic scientists, lawyers and the judiciary in understanding the evidential value of the DNA profile analysis and related techniques in crime investigation and family matters; iv. To establish DNA diagnostic methods for detecting genetic disorders and to develop probes for such detection; v. To use DNA fingerprinting techniques for the authentication of plant and animal cell material, cell lines and to develop new probes where necessary for such purposes; vi. To provide training in DNA fingerprinting techniques; vii. To undertake basic, applied and developmental R & D work; viii. To provide consultancy services to medical institutions, public health agencies and industry in the country; ix. To collaborate with foreign research institutions and laboratories and other international organizations in fields relevant to the objectives of the Centre; x. To establish affiliation with recognized universities and institutions of higher learning for the purpose of enabling research scholars to register for post-graduate degrees; xi. To receive grants, donations and contributions in cash or in other forms from the Government of India, State Governments, Charitable Institutions/Trusts, individuals and industry within the country; xii. To receive, with the prior approval of the Central Government, monetary assistance from foreign sources including international organizations for training programmes, scientific research and other activities; xiii. To acquire by gift, purchase, exchange, lease, hire or otherwise howsoever, any property movable or immovable or to construct, improve, alter, demolish or repair buildings and structures as may be necessary or convenient for carrying on the activities of the Centre; xiv. For the purpose of the Centre, to draw and accept, make and endorse, discount and negotiate Government of India and other Promissory Notes, Bills of Exchange, Cheques or other Negotiable Instruments; 9 10 {ZXoeH$ H$m g§Xoe From the Director’s Desk 11 12 {ZXoeH$ H$m g¨Xoe ‘wPo S>rEZE q’$JaqàqQ>J Ed§ {ZXmZ Ho$ÝÐ (grS>rE’$S>r), h¡Xam~mX H$s dm{f©H$ [anmoQ>© àñVwV H$aVo hþE AË`§$V àgÞVm h¡& g¨ñWmZ 1996 ‘| ñWm{nV {H$`m J`m Wm Am¡a V~ go BgZo {d{dY J{V{d{Y`m| ‘| CËH¥$ï>Vm A{O©V H$s h¡& g¨ñWmZ S>rEZE q’$JaqàqQ>J, ‘mZd AmZwd§{eH$s {dH$mam| Ho$ {bE Z¡Xm{ZH$ narjUm| VWm ewÕVm Ho$ {bE ~mg‘Vr Mmdb Ho$ {dûcofU Ho$ joÌm| ‘| godmE§ àXmZ H$aVm h¡ VWm `h AmYw{ZH$ Ord {dkmZ Ho$ {d{^Þ {df`m| ‘| ^r ~w{Z`mXr AZwg¨YmZ J{V{d{Y`m§ ‘| g¨b¾$ h¡& Bg df© Ho$ÝÐ H$s Hw$N> à‘wI CnbpãY`m§ Am¡a AZwg¨YmZ àm{á`m§ AmJo Xr JB© h¡, {OZHo$ {ddaU AbJ AbJ à`moJembmAm| Ûmam {ddaUm| ‘| g¨b¾ {H$E JE h¢, Omo Bg [anmoQ>© ‘| g¨b¾ h¢& {dûcofU Ho$ {bE E{nS>m-grS>rE’$S>r Ho$ÝÐmo Ûmam {H$E JE 2014-15 H$s Ad{Y Ho$ Xm¡amZ S>rEZE q’$J[aqàqQ>J godm à`mgm| H$mo An{‘lU narjU àmoQ>moH$m°b {dñVm[aV H$aZo 8 à¶moJembm ‘| bJ^J 550 ‘m‘bo àmá& {H$E JE, {OÝh| Ho$ {bE AmJo ~‹T>m`m J`m h¡& Bg {Xem ‘| Ho$ÝÐ Zo ‘mH©$a ݶm¶ nm{bH$m VWm amÁ¶ Am¡a g¨Kr¶ gaH$mam| H$s H$mZyZ Ho$ n¡Zb H$s {d{Y H$m {dñVma EH$ ì`mnH$ S>oQ>m~og V¡`ma àdV©Z EO|{g¶m| Ûmam AJ«o{fV {H$¶m J¶m Wm VWm S>rEZE H$aZo Ho$ {bE g^r A{Ygy{MV ~mg‘Vr {H$ñ‘m| H$s narjH$m| Zo nyao Xoe H$s {d{^Þ H$mZyZr AXmbVm| ‘| AnZr nhMmZ Ho$ {bE {dñVm[aV {H$`m h¡& [anmoQ>© àXmZ H$s h¡& à¶moJembm ‘| ’o$S>ab ã¶yamo Am°’$ H$mo{eH$m MH«$ {d{Z¶‘Z à¶moJembm ‘| EM3Ho$4E‘B©3 B§doñQ>rJoeZ (E’$~rAmB©), ¶yEgE go H$å~mB§S> S>rEZE S>r‘o{Wbog Ho$ ê$n ‘| Ama~rnr2 H$mo MwZm h¡ Omo B©2E’$4 B§S>oŠg {gñQ>‘ (grAmoS>rAmB©Eg) gm°âQ>do¶a IarXm J¶m àmoQ>rZ Ho$ Q´m§gEpŠQ>doeZ S>mo‘oZ Ho$ gmW A§V:{H«$¶m H$aVm h¡, Omo Amnam{YH$ ݶm¶ àXm¶Jr Am¡a XrdmZr à{H«$¶mAm| h¡& Bg à¶moJembm Ho$ AZwg¨YmZ n[aUm‘ Xem©Vo h¢ {H$ Ho$ {bE S>rEZE S>oQ>m ~¢H$ ‘| ^§S>m[aV S>rEZE àmo’$mBb Ho$ g^r E‘EbEb H$m°åßboŠg Omo h¢ E‘EbEb, E‘EbEb2, gmW {‘bmZ ‘| ghm¶Vm H$aoJm& Ohm§ VH$ ‘mZd S>rEZE E‘EbEb3 VWm EgB©Q>r 1E Eg MaU Ho$ AmJo ~‹T>Zo Ho$ àmo’$mBqbJ {dYo¶H$ H$m g¨~§Y h¡, Ho$ÝÐ O¡d àm¡Úmo{JH$s Xm¡amZ BgHo$ {Z¶‘Z ‘| EH$ ^y{‘H$m {Z^mVo h¢, Ho$db
