4. Department of Science & Technology (DST) and Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC)
model implemented in
Uttaranchal, at least one mobile diagnostic facility will be available in Nagaland.
5. The Government will introduce 150 nano-membrane filters to provide clean drinking water for rural areas. In addition, the Department of Science and Technology will also provide 33 iron removal plants in Nagaland and 15 such plants in AP.
6. Science teachers of 4 colleges will be retrained.
7. Implement 8 to 10 25-75 kilowatt power plants using gasses produced by bamboo for remote areas rural Gasification of bamboo for electricity DST/ NMBA is prepared to supply electricity to villages, or to institutions (residential schools, health sub-centres, small enterprises) by December 2006. The State Government is required to identify the areas, execute feasibility studies, and also explore commercial prospects for this plan.

Bamboo has the ability to withstand high velocity winds of up to 100 kilometers an hour, sub-zero temperatures up to -300 degrees centigrade, and zone V seismic loading. The Indian Army has already deployed such pre-fabricated structures in forward locations in high altitude.
11. The Central Institute of Scientific Research will also start a program to map bio-resources in the region and will start with AP.
