New Delhi: Innovative technologies by an IIT Kharagpur-based center of technological excellence focusing on water purification have helped deliver clean and safe drinking water and also manage floods in several states across the country.
An efficient, low-cost, nano-filtration-based technology by The Centre for Technological Excellence in Water Purification (CTEWP) housed in IIT Kharagpur has ensured access to safe and clean drinking water free of heavy metals for 25,000 people in three different locations in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
The prototype of the highly compact vertical modular nanofiltration membrane system designed for removal of heavy metals from the groundwater was developed by the Membrane Separations Laboratory, CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), with support from the Department of Science and Technology (DST) Water Technology Initiative (WTI). With a capacity of 100 – 300 Litre per hour(L/h), the system based on a membrane technically

CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) Director S.Chandrasekhar on Friday urged industry to prepare a white paper specifying changes it wanted academic institutions to make, thus helping industry-academia collaboration gain momentum.
“Industry needs to make a white paper and tell the world publicly this is what we are looking for from these institutes. That clarity needs to be given so that academic institutes could really reorient their curriculum, syllabus or experimental part so that [students] are really ready to join the industry,” he told a virtual conference organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Telangana.
ICMR-NIN sero-surveillance puts positivity rate of 24% in three districts
Rural parts of Telangana are a long way off attaining any kind of herd immunity for COVID-19 with the third round of the sero-surveillance led by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)-National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) in three Telangana districts Jangoan, Nalgonda and Kamareddy putting the sero-positivity rate, indicative of the silent, prior exposure to SARS-CoV 2, at 24%.
The survey was conducted in December last year as part of the ICMR-National Sero-survey in 70 districts of 29 states. The first round of sero-survey was done in May last year in the same districts when the sero prevalence was found to be 0.33%, the second round in August showed 12.5% prevalence and the current exercise showed 24.1%.
CSIR–IICT licenses novel fluorophores tech to Tokyo Chemical Industry
February 05, 2021
Most of the raw materials used in the research made indigenously
The CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIR-IICT) has licensed the novel fluorophores technology to Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) CO Ltd, Japan.
The technology has been developed by scientist Surya Prakash Singh’s group at the CSIR-IICT. Singh works in the department of Polymers and Functional Materials and his major research focuses on the design and synthesis of various classes of sustainable dyes for their use in photonic devices, textiles, paints, and other biological applications.
