BARC is a premier multidisciplinary R&D Centre under the Department of Atomic Energy. Government of India, engaged in research with the objective of generating knowledge and techniques for nuclear power production, advancement of nuclear science, use of radioisotopes in industry, health and agriculture, research in frontier areas of science and technology.
R&D in Nuclear Energy at BARC has not only generated a comprehensive Indian Nuclear Power Program but also has led to huge knowledge wealth in terms of large number of Non-Power Applications (NPAs) and spin-off technologies (Spin-offs) for societal and industrial benefits. Under the framework of DAE Societal initiative, based on the development of NPAs and Spin-offs in medical, food preservation, waste management, other industrial and rural applications at BARC, a structured programmme has been evolved for Advanced Knowledge and RUralTechnology Implementation (AKRUTI). Under AKRUTI programme, entrepreneurs have deployed NPAs and Spin-offs and developed technopreneurship in rural areas. With the addition of 4 technologies, AKRUTI Technology Package is renamed as AKRUTI Technology Plus in June 2020. It isnow increasing and widening the opportunities for entrepreneurship. This addition will provide participation of more people, thereby contributing to GDP through bottom up development model.
BARC, under AKRUTI programme, presently offers the following Technologies/ Consultancy in the fields of BiodegradableWaste Processing, Water, Food and Agriculture. Furthermore, Technologies will be added in future.
