FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT (FTR)

The ES is required to submit a FTR for the entire duration, in the prescribed proforma (Form-F) by the date of termination of the scheme.  The report must be detailed and should include information about (a) the original objective(s) of the scheme, (b) how far these objective(s) have been achieved, and (c) how the results have benefited the country’s technological development or enriched the existing knowledge on the subject.  The actual research achievements made under the scheme may be summarised in about 200 words and mentioned in the FTR to facilitate publication of the same by CSIR.  Copies of manuscripts, preprints and reprints  of papers arising from the work completed under the scheme should be attached to the FTR.

Further information, such as on acceptance of paper(s) for publication, award of Ph.D. degree(s) to research fellow(s) working under the scheme, etc. that is not available at the time of submission of FTR should be sent to CSIR later, as soon as it becomes available.

Last 3 month’s Scientists’ honorarium and last month’s salary of JRF/SRF/RAs must be released by the Institution only after the FTR has been sent to CSIR.  The above mentioned grant will be payable by CSIR only if the FTR has been forwarded by the Institution to CSIR.
