The proposal should be specifically aimed at welfare of SC/ST population and weaker sections using biotechnological processes/techniques and should give information of the target population (according to 1991 census). 2. The proposal/project should focus on field demonstration/extension oriented activities with little R&D component wherever needed. 3. The project should clearly bring out how it will benefit the target population. 4. In view of its extension-oriented programme, sophisticated and costly equipment would not be provided. Marginal support would be provided for creating small infrastructure/equipment, if it is absolutely essential. 5. Site for project implementation, as far as possible, should be in the vicinity of the targeted population and should not be concentrated at the Pl's Institute. 6. The efforts should be mainly for the direct involvement of SC/ST youths in the project so that technology transfer could be done effectively. 7. The technology or extension programme should be selected taking into consideration local resources. 8. Attention should be paid to increase income generation in addition to their present occupation. 9. The project should not lead to environmental degradation or ecological imbalance. Assessment in this regard must be submitted along with the project proposal. 10. The project should be employment/revenue generating and not job displacing. 11. Terms and conditions of the grant may be seen at Annexure-IV.
