CSIR Integrated Skill Initiative Programme

CSIR-IITR, a NABL (National Accreditation Board for testing and calibration Laboratory) accredited laboratory in the field of chemical and biological testing and has received GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) compliance for toxicity and mutagenicity studies has been in the forefront in imparting training and generating skilled manpower. Provisional of CSIR-IITR with two sectoral skill councils namely, Life Sciences Sector Skill Development Council (LSSSDC) and Agricultural Skill Council of India (ASCI), under National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), reflect the commitment and alignment of the Institute to the Skill India mission of Government of India. CSIR-IITR is also a partner for Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in running the Green Skill Development Programme (GSDP) on pollution monitors. As part of this Integrated skill development, CSIR-IITR has conducted multiple training programs in the areas of Environmental Health & Safety as well as and xenobiotic residue analyses.
