The Nagaland Science Mission (NSM) has announced a special call for research proposals in multi-disciplinary areas of Science and Technology (S&T) aimed at addressing location-specific problems and other potential areas for research and development (R&D). The initiative focuses on bringing out solutions and products through S&T applications in Nagaland.
The NSM invites project proposals from indigenous Naga scientists, technologists, engineers, and researchers working in academic institutions, registered societies, R&D institutions, and universities that possess adequate in-house infrastructure and facilities for R&D.
