Recently, CSIR has undertaken several initiatives to translate laboratory leads to marketable/value-added
technologies/products and thereby enhance interactions and connect to stakeholders for enabling ease of doing
technology licensing. One of the initiatives is a “Thematic approach” to harness multidisciplinary talent and
infrastructure for solving specific challenges in identified sectors. Theme Directorates have been formed and cover
following specific sectors:
The Theme Directorates are envisaged to provide for greater alignment to and for enhancing industrial/stakeholder
focus of CSIR R&D activities. The roadmap and activities of each theme would focus at substantial contributions
towards each of the parameters - public good, private good, strategic good and societal good.
