Dr. H. Purushotham, CMD, NRDC, informed that the team at NRDC has made an attempt to compile most relevant and emerging indigenously developed technological innovations, including those which are at research stage, to fight COVID-19. He expressed hope that this compendium will serve as a ready-reference for policy makers, industries, entrepreneurs, start-ups, MSMEs, research scholars, scientists and other stakeholders. He also informed that several of the technologies compiled are approved by ICMR.
