INTRODUCTION
Science & Technology plays a vital role in the development of various sections of society. Well thought out projects and investments in S&T can be of great assistance in raising the level of awareness and standard of living of the masses. They can benefit the people through development of new ideas, materials, machines or processes. They can be of particular assistance to the disadvantaged sections of the society by improvement of the traditional technologies and creating new awareness for employment. The S&T projects can also help in developing technologies, which are more relevant to the needs of the local people and thereby upgrade skills and technology on need basis.
