Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment 7.153 The Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE) was established in 2003 to promote excellence in science and technology through learning, research and development with the involvement of academia, industry, research organizations and to benefit the society through science and technology interventions with the involvement of user agencies and beneficiaries. Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE) was constituted as an autonomous body of the Govt. of Kerala by restructuring the erstwhile State Committee on Science, Technology and Environment . The primary objective of the Council is to implement Science and Technology Programmes to enhance the socio- economic development as well as quality of life and environment of the State. The Council also intends to revamp and streamline the science and technology programmes to make them more responsive to the development needs of the State, and help in the transformation of Kerala as a knowledge economy. 7.154 There are six Research & Development Centers functioning under the umbrella of the Council viz., Centre for Earth Science Studies (CESS), Centre for Water Resource Management and Development (CWRDM), Kerala Forest Research Institute (KFRI), National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (NATPAC), Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (TBGRI), and Kerala School of Mathematics (KSM).The Council also supports three grant-in-aid institutions namely, Sophisticated Test and Instrumentation Centre (STIC), Integrated Rural Technology Centre (IRTC) and Malabar Botanical Garden Society (MBGS). The council also undertakes co-ordinates and oversees many research programmes through the Universities and other R&D facilities established by the State and Central Governments. Activities and Achievements of the Council HQ 7.155 During the review period the Council has organised and implemented various scientific activities through their supporting institutions. The major activities are the following. Kerala State Planning Board
347 (a) The Coastal and Environmental Division 7.156 The Costal and Environmental division was implementing Ecology and Environment scheme for the purpose of providing assistance to scientists and technologists for doing scientific/research work on the environmental problems and issues. One such project was on climate change and another project was on cadastral scale CRZ maps for urban areas which was implemented through CESS. The water quality monitoring and soil quality monitoring programmes also achieved considerable progress. The Division also provided technical inputs in 222 CRZ cases for discharging the functions of KCZMA. b) Science & Technology Promotion Division operated the following schemes: (i) Science Research Scheme (SRS)- 7.157 Science Research Scheme (SRS) aims at promotion of Research & Development activities in the state both in fundamental and applied research. Under the scheme, research projects in emerging areas of science and engineering are supported by providing financial support for implementation. Among 42 new projects considered by the RCSE Committee, 21 projects were approved during 2011. (ii) KSCSTE Research Fellowships 7.158 KSCSTE started Research Fellowship Programme in the year 2002, to promote research work leading to Ph.D in the eleven disciplines-Agricultural Science, Chemical Science, Physical Science, Environmental Science, Earth System Sciences, Engineering Sciences, Life Sciences, Taxonomy (Botany & Zoology), Bioinformatics and Mathematical Sciences A total of 24 new fellowships were offered in 11 disciplines of science, (iii) Selective Augmentation of R&D Activities (SARD) Scheme 7.159 Selective Augmentation of Research and Development Activities (SARD) is a scheme initiated by the Council with a view to strengthen science and technology infrastructure primarily in the University Departments, Colleges and R&D Institutions .
