FUNDING PATTERN OF SPONSORED RESEARCH BY SCIENTIFIC AGENCIES 2005-2010 MINISTRY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY NATIONAL SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (NSTMIS) NEW DELHI – 110 016 MAY. 2014 ISBN 81 – 87607 – 26 – 2 PREFACE Extramural Research and Development (R&D) projects support by the Central Government agencies is aimed at promoting, catalyzing and advancing R&D and innovation in the country by providing special encouragement to research scientists. The present report is fifth in the series of five-yearly reports brought out by the National Science & Technology Management Information System (NSTMIS) Division of the Department of Science & Technology (DST). It provides an analysis of 20,497 projects approved for funding by 23 Central Government Departments/ Agencies spread across 2,634 performing S&T institutions and 117 individual entrepreneurs aggregating to a value of Rs. 6331.76 crores during the period 2005-2010. The report also contains a state-wise list of institutions funded during the period, institute-wise number of projects and approved cost and addresses and website addresses of funding agencies. NSTMIS is inter-alia responsible for collecting, compiling, analyzing and disseminating information on Extramural (sponsored) Research and Development (R&D) projects funded by various agencies in the country. As a part of this effort the NSTMIS maintains an extended database of extramural R&D Projects approved by the central S&T departments/agencies. The database contains information on projects approved by these agencies from 1990- 91 onwards. Based on this database, annual directories of the projects approved for funding by various agencies are being brought out every year. The NSTMIS also supports research projects on key science policy issues including S&T human resource development. It is hoped that this report on sponsored research, as the earlier reports, would be useful for scientists, funding agencies, planners and policy makers. The NSTMIS welcomes comments/ suggestions on the report. The DST is grateful to all the central government departments/ agencies including members of the Programme Advisory Committee for their significant contribution in making this report highly resourceful.

UGC University Grants Commission VS Voluntary Sector 1 Introduction In India, the Central Government is the main agency of scientific and industrial research contributing about 71% of the total investment towards national Research and Development (R&D) activities. All the major scientific agencies of Central Government support R&D work in the form of extramural or sponsored EMR Projects to individual scientists / institutions to carry out specific time-bound research projects in the areas of their interest. The purpose of this extramural R&D funding is to build substantial research capability and infrastructure in the country. In the central sector, scientific research is carried out mainly under number of government departments and autonomous agencies, which are specifically engaged with various R&D activities. In the category of R&D organizations, there are two types of departments/ agencies: I. R&D performing bodies such as Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Department of Space (DOS), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) among others.
