6. Community Resilience Resource Centre (CRRC)
The COVID-19 crisis has impacted the social, occupational, and financial infrastructure of the community. In order to combat the situation of COVID a programme for establishing CCRRCs was initiated in 2021 for building resilience among the community an extremely important need that emerged as the major challenge during the second wave of COVID-19. The programme aims to provide STI based interventions to supplement various other initiatives for prevention, protection, mitigation, response and recovery measures during COVID and Post COVID recovery stages. It also supports the scouting and simultaneous scale up of relevant STI solutions at community level for self-reliance against various disasters for risk reduction, adaptation and mitigation. It will develop the strategies for strengthening STI based economic and ecological resilience of the communities for sustainable livelihoods. Over a period of time, the CCRRCs would evolve as Community Resilience Resource Centres (CRRCs) to strengthen STI based resilience of the community in different aspects of livelihood system strengthening, establishment of social enterprises etc. besides development of strategies for disaster risk reduction, adaptation and mitigation for developing sustainable resilient communities.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
1. COVID19 Pandemic Related Activities
The year 2020-21 has seen unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak. SEED Division issued an advisory to support Knowledge Organizations to create scientific awareness on COVID-19 using social, print and electronic media to develop resilience at community level and showcase their Science and Technology (S&T) based interventions to address the challenges related to containment of disease and economic restoration as part of their Scientific Social Responsibility (SSR) through ongoing projects. Some of these initiatives are given below:
- Contribution of knowledge and resources for the development and distribution of sanitizer as per World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and services for COVID 19 testing.
- More than 10,000L of sanitizer was distributed among frontline workers at AIIMS-New Delhi, Safdurjung New Delhi, Police Department of Haryana & Punjab and UP and migrant workers at relief camps.
- A mobile App based regular advisory to pregnant women was initiated under ongoing project at AIIMS New Delhi.
- A telemedicine facility for monitoring the health of farm animals was initiated by SKAUST, Srinagar.
- In order to address breathing related issue an herbal decongestion spray on the principles of Ayurveda was developed by CSIR-NBRI.
- Herbal sanitizer was developed, and its technology was transferred to companies for bulk production to sustain the supply of sanitizer for public consumptions at affordable rate.
- Protocol for herbal sanitizer was also shared with Voluntary Organizations for distribution at local level.
- A portable sanitizer bench was developed by tweaking the objectives to address the necessity in rural setting.

3. Tech NEEV@75 programme: Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav
Tech NEEV@ 75 is a year-long celebration, highlighting the impact of Science Technology Innovation (STI) in empowering community to create equitable inclusive economic growth. It is 75-hour programme and includes experience sharing of beneficiaries, societal change makers’ conclave, community change leaders, and round table discussions by several stakeholders. It also includes compilation of 75 impactful stories on progress of India towards Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. It will lead to opportunities for land to lab research and help in building synergies with traditional, local and indigenous knowledge. This in turn will lead to new scientific developments which will contribute in building resilient communities.
