Key Recommendations of Task Force/RC/Monitoring Committee

Chairman, RC: Better coordination desirable amongst the participating institutes considering the involvement of seven academic institutes spread across the country

Prof Partha Chakraborty: Attempt to deploy uniform methodology for data collection by the concerned Regional Coordinators and CSIR- CRRI

Prof Veeraragavan and Prof Partha Chakraborty: Status of data collection by all the participating institutes and including CSIR-CRRI

• Chairman RC:Report overall/ package wise progress in bar chart form.

• Prof Veeraragavan:After completion of the study data shall be kept on CSIR­CRRI, website with access to other researchers.

• Prof Partha Chakraborty:Open access of the data with restricted password

Action taken on Key Recommendations

Coordination among the participating institutes monitored through the progress review meetings/TFC meetings

Uniform methodology devised (RIHCAM and TFC meetings conducted time to time)

Reviewed in the progress meeting time to time

Progress shown in suggested format

This decision will be taken in consultation with CSIR after submission of the Final Manual

10. Grading of Project Execution: Outstanding/Excellent/Very Good/ Good/Satisfactory/Un-satisfactory

Excellent

11. Additional comments, if any:

• Considering the fact that country didn't have such manual earlier, development of this manual for the first time is a credible initiative

• Road map and timelines for creating new codes of practices under IRC to be prepared

• Digital manual with dynamic data upgradation can be explored
