The Union Cabinet has approved the establishment of Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD) at Imphal, Manipur as an autonomous Institute of the DBT during its meeting held on 16th January, 2001. The Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD) has been registered as a Society under the Manipur Societies Registration Act, 1989 (Manipur Act (1) of 1990) on 26th April, 2001.
Mission
Bioresources development and their sustainable use through biotechnological interventions for the socio-economic growth of the region.
Goal
Scientific management of bioresources in the Indian region falling under Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot.
Objectives
a. To set up the state-of-the-art biotechnology research facilities at Imphal which is at the centre of the Indo-Burmese biodiversity hotspot for sustainable development of bioresources using tools of modern biology.
b. To study and document the unique biodiversity of bio-geographic junction of the Indian and oriental landmasses.
c. To undertake capacity building (human resource development).
d. To collaborate with other institutions/ organizations/ universities nationally and internationally in furthering research pursuits in bioresources.
e. To develop biotechnological interventions for sustainable development and utilization of bioresources.
f. To generate technological packages for employment generation and economic progress of the region.
Activities proposed for realisation of the objectives
i. Genetic improvement/ upgrading, multiplication and natural products chemistry of medicinal and aromatic plants. Development of suitable in vitro screening tests for bio-active molecules using mammalian cell-lines.
ii.Seri-biotechnology and insect-bioresources, germplasm collection, assessment of genetic diversity, genetic enhancement and conservation.
iii. Assessment of diversity in aquatic flora and fauna, genetic improvement of selected species leading to product development including aquaculture.
iv. Assessment of diversity in all groups of microbes (bacteria & fungi), particularly those relating to agriculture, forestry and industry and genetic improvement.
v. Establishment of database on bioresources.
vi. Technology packages leading to the development of products and processes applicable to enhance the productivity in agriculture, horticulture and forestry, aquaculture. Use of technology packages for income/ employment generation in rural sector.
vii. Assessment of land use patterns, development of ecologically sound rehabilitation packages for maintenance of soil development, fertility, prevention of erosion and regeneration of degraded hill ecosystems and other wastelands.
