exhibition is open to public for two days (Aug 11-12, 2019).
The
exhibition is coveringtechnologies developed by the Bhabha Atomic
Research Centre (BARC), Raja Ramanna Centre for Advance Technology,
Indore and other Units of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), which are
useful for the common man in day-to-day life e.g. in the field of
health, agriculture, water, food security and environment.
The details of the exhibits are as follows:
Health:
In health sector there are three segments i) Development of Radio
Pharmaceuticals ii) Production & Distribution iii) its
implementation for diagnosis and therapeutic application. The treatment
of Cancer is managed by Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH), a fully
autonomous aided institution of DAE, provides comprehensive treatment to
cancer patients. Medical devices for Tele-ECG, Bhabhatron- A Radiation
tele-therapy machine, screening of TB and Cancer are on display.

Agriculture:
DAE has developed 44 high yielding seed varieties by inducing
mutationto suitlocal weather conditionsacross the country. DAEhas also
developed technologies of fertilizer production frombio-sludge and
encourages organic farming. The disease resistant, low maturity period
and high yielding crops have been well accepted by the farmers. Rural
technologies are also being made available to rural youth through
‘AKRUTI’ programme.

Water:
DAE has developed technologies for clean waterto fulfill departmental
requirements and as spin-off developed many techniques which finds
applications in ultra-filtration membrane, RO membrane, multistage flash
evaporation and water hydrology based on radiotracers. Low cost water
filters for removal of all contamination from drinking water have been
displayed.

Environment:
DAE technologies are findinga lot of applications for Swatch Bharat
Mission where bio-methanization& Urban Sludge Hygienization
technologies are being deployed across the country. “Nisargruna” plant
is a bio- Methanization plant
for digesting kitchen food waste and green vegetable wastes from
agriculture markets to Methane gas which can be used for
cooking/generating electricity or even for running biogas vehicles.
This plant can digest animal waste from slaughter house also.

that such exhibition is being organized in New Delhi. He said that these
technologies are helpful in day to day life for common people. He added
that Government officials act as opinion leaders, so they should visit
the exhibition and understand these technologies. Shri Gupta emphasized
that these technologies should be adopted in the whole country at a
large scale.
