LEH: India's premier defence research organization DRDO has now roped in yoga guru Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurveda Limited to manufacture and market in the country and abroad some herbal supplements and food products developed by it.

DRDO on Sunday entered into licensing agreements with Ramdev's company for transfer of sea buckthorn technology based products developed by Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR).

The technology has been transferred under the DRDO FICCI ATAC (Accelerated Technology Assessment & Commercialization) programme that has been established to identify spin-off technologies for commercial markets within India and abroad, with a special focus on social benefit technologies, an official statement said.

DIHAR, a frontier laboratory of DRDO which is located in Leh with detachments in the strategic Siachen sector has pioneered cold arid-agro animal technologies for augmenting local availability of fresh food in the region.

The laboratory, through its translational laboratory to land approach, develops technologies for fresh food cultivation, poultry, goat and dairy farming and green house cultivation which are disseminated to the local farmers.

Speaking on the occasion, defence minister Manohar Parrikar said sea buckthorn is a unique product.

"Apart from what has been commercialized, there are many more applications which Patanjali Ayurveda could explore to exploit the full potential of sea buckthorn," he said.

Parrikar wanted Patanjali Ayurveda to bring many more health products to exploit the full potential of the technologies beyond what DIHAR has found out.

He added that DRDO in collaboration with FICCI under DRDO FICCI ATAC programme is striving to commercialise more and more spin off technologies for the benefit of society at large.

DRDO chief S Cristopher mentioned that DIHAR has been relentlessly working for development of products which in addition to their usefulness for armed forces has tremendous commercial potential in India and abroad.

"The benefits of the research done by DIHAR will help the local population to derive the economic benefits," he said.

While giving an overview, Bhuvnesh Kumar, director, DIHAR said that the farmers adopt the technologies developed by his scientists and sell their produce to the Army.

"This unique approach not only results in local availability of fresh food but also results in socio-economic development of Ladakh and stronger civil-military cooperation in this strategically important region," the statement quoted him as saying.

Ramdev is a thug ....While his brother is a history sheeter criminal of haridwar.
 
Terrible ............ this is clearly Communal politics.

Why was it not given to Mulla Haji Kutubudeen Quazi ? :angry:

Most probably either they didnt apply for it or they didnt had the required infrastructure to built upon.
None the less, Govt, DRDO and FICCI should bring this to knowledge of bigger mass, so that many others take benefit of such programs.

That's right .......... defence forces should be eating BEEF to become maumadeens warriors. Not "baba" food.

Spiritual gurus should be sent to jail :disagree: ............ what is this world coming too ?
 
this is great news ramdev already has a multi million dollar pharma manufacturing & distribeution chain and with techs developed by DRDO it can bring those techs closer to "aam aadmi" i hope many other indian corporates like Wipro , TATA, Bajaj & Himalaya will also use DRDO techs to enhance there product portfolio
