How safe are Indian laboratories?
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)ow safe are the laboratories provided by the schools, colleges, Universities and research organizations (government and private) in India? One should not be surprised if the laboratories are located in dilapidated buildings, ... -
A documentation on burrows in hard substrates of ferromanganese crusts and associated soft sediments from the Central Indian Ocean
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)Substrates of ferromanganese encrustations collected from the hummocky topography of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) (lat. 12~'25'-12~'45'S, water depth between 5150 and 5300 m) are largely composed of indurated claystone ... -
An indirect method for forecasting the annual food production of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)The green revolution which increased the annual food production of India drastically was made possible by the application of science and technology to agriculture. The total technological inputs to the farming sector has ... -
