DRL - Achievements

  • Distribution of seeds, seedlings, vermicompost and fresh vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, capsicum, tomato, cucumber, bittergourd and bottlegourd to distributed to Army Jawans.
  • Installation of new greenhouses (15 nos.) at user sites in forward locations.
  • Exotic varieties of pakchoy and lettuce with good productivity have been successfully cultivated in the protected conditions of Arunachal Pradesh.
  • Effect of modulatory nutrient stress (abiotic stress) on lipid content and growth rate of five (05) oleaginous freshwater microalgae has been studied.
  • Polymerase Spiral Reaction (PSR) based detection kit for Rickettsial organisms from ticks has been developed.
  • More than 250 tick samples were collected from various parts of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
  • Design and fabrication of mobile IRU (mounted on trolley) has been completed. Trolley is equipped with solar energy for power supply to water pump for drawing raw water and to UV plasma system for disinfection of filtered water.
  • Development of biogenically synthesized silver nano composite media for removal of bacteria from contaminated water.
  • First reported the rebound of the Cotton Leaf Curl Multan virus, associated with cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) outbreak in Punjab, India (2015). The complete virus sequences were found to be phylogenetically most closely related to recombinant virus sequences, recently emerged in Pakistan.
  • Molecular characterization of a Culex mosquito associated insect Flavivirus, first to be reported from India.
  • Reported the high prevalence of high risk strains of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) among women attending a peripheral hospital of North-Eastern India.
  • Established base line data of potent phytopathogenic fungi of Camellia Sinensis (Tea) of Assam – from agroterrorism perspective.
  • Standardized SOP for oyster mushroom cultivation and vermicomposting (using high altitude native earthworm species) in high altitude, Tawang areas.
  • Identified and established world’s hottest chilli ‘Bhutjolokia’ as new novel species based on identification of novel genes and proteins through molecular and proteomic characterization.
  • Cost effective open and enclosed culture systems for mass cultivation of microalgae developed.
  • Standardized protocols for micro-propagation of indigenous orchids and valuable medicinal plants of North-Eastern India.
  • Indigenous freshwater microalgae rich in PUFA identified for nutraceuticals.
  • Development of consortium of hydrolytic bacteria for organic waste biodegradation and management.
