ABOUT THE DIRECTORY
INTRODUCTION
National Science & Technology Management Information System (NSTMIS) Division of the Department of Science & Technology (DST) has been compiling information annually on extramural (also called sponsored) R&D projects since 1990-91 in order to exchange information on Research and Development (R&D) projects with different interest groups. This compiled information is published as an annual Directory of Extramural Research and Development projects approved for funding by various agencies during the year.
The task of collecting, compiling, analyzing and publishing the directory for the year 2009-10 was sponsored by the Department of Science & Technology to the Manpower Management Centre (MMC), New Delhi. The present directory, twentieth in the series, gives details of 4828 sponsored R&D projects approved during the year 2009-10 by 19 Central Government Ministries/Departments/Agencies.
The following Ministries/Departments/Agencies of the Central Government have furnished the list of projects approved by them:
>
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)
>
Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)
>
Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)
>
Department of Atomic Energy (DAE)
>
Department of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH)

Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment (MOSJE) and Steel Authority of India (SAIL) reported ‘Nil’ information. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) reported ‘Nil’ information for their SSP Scheme. Indian Council of Agrilcultural Research (ICAR) has withdrawn its funding scheme since 2005-06. The addresses of all these agencies are given in Annexure-1.
LIMITATIONS
MMC collects data from a number of Divisions in the Ministries/Departments/Agencies who handle the Extramural R&D projects. As the listing of projects is based on the inputs received from the responding agencies, it is presumed that the information furnished by them was complete. The project cost refers to the initial approved cost of the project for the initial approved duration of the project. It is quite possible that some of the projects mentioned in this directory may not be R&D Projects in the strict sense of the term. Despite these limitations, it is sincerely hoped that this directory will serve as a useful source of information for scientists, technologists, funding agencies, implementing institutions, planners and policy makers.
I

ORGANISATION OF THE DIRECTORY
The projects are listed in the directory by major subject area-wise. Under each major subject area, the projects are arranged by funding agency-wise and also scheme-wise within funding agency. Under each scheme, the projects are arranged alphabetically as per the title of the project. For each project, the information included is record number, title of the project, name of the funding agency/scheme, name and address of the investigator/institute, approved cost of the project and the duration of the project. The third column of the directory gives the name of funding agency and scheme. For example, this is given as “DAE-BRNS”. Here “DAE” is the name of the funding agency i.e. Department of Atomic Energy and “BRNS” is the acronym used for the name of the scheme under which the project was approved. For explanation of abbreviations/acronym for the agencies and schemes, the readers are advised to see Table 1 & 2 under the section “BRIEF ANALYSIS”. For a quick reference, Index pages on Principal Investigator and Institute etc., are provided in the directory at the end. The addresses of the funding agencies are given at Annexure-1. Annexure-2 gives institute-wise extramural R&D support committed during the year 200910. A brief analysis on the pattern of funding during the year 2009-10 is given in the following paragraphs.
BRIEF ANALYSIS
As shown in Table 1, 4828 new extramural R&D projects costing Rs. 1358.04 crores were approved by 19 responding agencies during the year 2009-10. Scheme-wise support to these extramural R&D projects by responding agencies is given in Table 2.

a) Agricultural Sciences
b) Biological Sciences
c) Chemical Sciences
d) Earth Science

Engineering & Technology Mathematics Medical Sciences Physical Sciences
IV

The classification of R&D projects has been done based on the subject area indicated by the agencies and also based on the title of the projects. Some of the projects may be multi-disciplinary in nature but have been classified into one of the subject areas mentioned above, depending on their major thrust. Figure 1 shows number of extramural R&D projects approved in each subject area during the year 2009-10. It shows that maximum number of projects were approved in the area of Biological Sciences. Out of the 1285 projects approved in the area of ‘Biological Sciences”, the maximum number of projects i.e. 566 were approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC) followed by 376 projects by the Department of Science & Technology and 195 projects by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT). However, funding-wise the respective order of these three agencies is different i.e. Rs. 91.77 crores sanctioned by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) followed at Rs. 86.10 crores by the Department of Science & Technology and Rs. 29.79 crores by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The remaining 148 projects were approved by other agencies namely AICTE (3), AYUSH (2), CSIR (79), DAE (13), DRDO (6), DSIR (1), MOCIT (3) and MOEF (41).
With regard to ‘Engineering & Technology’, as seen in the following Figure, the total projects approved were 975. Keeping in view the highest funding approved, 58 projects were approved by Ministry of Communications & Information Technology (MOCIT) at a total cost of Rs. 177.64 crores followed by 356 projects approved by the Department of Science & Technology at a cost of Rs. 137.16 crores. 30 projects were sanctioned at a cost of Rs. 82.51 crores by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) followed by 61 projects approved by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) for Rs. 31.58 crores. The remaining 470 projects were approved by agencies namely, AICTE (104), CSIR (35), DOC (4), DRDO (112), DSIR (60), ISRO (16), MOEF (7), MOP (13), MOWR (9), PCRA (8) and UGC (102).

The gender-wise distribution of Principal Investigators (PIs) who took up 4828 Extramural R&D Projects is shown in Table 5. It is interesting to mention that women participation as Principal Investigators of Extramural Projects is showing increasing trend during the last decade. In 2000-01, 13% of the PIs were female which increased to 19% in year 2005-06. During the year 2008-09 their participation was 24% and now in year 2009-10 it has further gone up to 28%. It is interesting to note that from 2000-01 to 2009-10, women participation in Extramural Research has increased and they are more actively getting involved in conducting research as Principal Investigators under the sponsored research programmes of various central S&T funding agencies.
