The Mattson cooker measures the time it takes for beans to cook. This research is screening beans that cook faster -

the ones that cook fastest will be selected for releasing for farmers. CIAT’s bean genebank at Kawanda research station, Uganda, receives new varieties from Colombia and safeguards beans across Africa. Researchers use the beans to breed more resilient varieties which are not only more drought and heat tolerant, but also more resistant to harmful pests and diseases, protecting the important bean staple.

Discussions on research and development of Jammu Kashmir.

CREATING MULTI-DISCIPLINARY RESULT ORIENTED INSTITUTE-Since 1971, Dr. Atal created a large number of departments to pave way for award winning multidisciplinary research. Old departments were revamped, modernized and upgraded in strength from a limited number to about 22. After revamping and modernization, RRL reached a take off stage when commercially viable processes were launched, including rural projects, particularly those conforming to the policy of CSIR / Indian government to promote socioeconomic based research. Time bound programme, well defined targets; induction of young talent, use of modern technology and new areas and fields were incorporated using multidisciplinary approach. He laid the infrastructure of the institute so that after 1972, major significant path breaking discoveries were made in many multidisciplinary fields of sciences at the internationally reputed institute.

UPGRADING & MODERNIZING R&D - INSTRUMENTATION AND TECHNOLOGY- New areas like radiotracer techniques, in vitro test models, new infrastructure for toxicity studies, etc were employed. Pilot plants for speedy commercialization of processes were set up .This was ably supported by fabrication facilities in a modern workshop which resulted in introduction of many turn key projects, enabling research to reach the end user. Instrumentation section which started in 1977 included the most modern equipment of that time. (NMR, infrared spectrophotometers, UV-VIS, Gas liquid chromatographs, Analytical high pressure liquid chromatographs, GC cum Mass spectrometer with computer, x ray diffractometer, FT NMR, ultracentrifuge, Electron microscope and scintillation counter. He established the molecular genetics and genetic engineering laboratory at RRL as early as eighties. Use of Computers was established and operational at RRL around 1980 or earlier and the handling was entrusted to Dr. G. N. Qazi. (he later installed it in the institute museum. Computers gained popularity in India after 1984 by pioneering efforts of dynamic PM of India,Late Shri Rajiv Gandhi). The library (inaugurated by Dr. Karan Singh) and instrument section was considered the best in that region and consulted/used by different organizations like the medical college students, staff etc.
