Please Refer to my Application Chem 238 dated 23/09/2000; your acknowledgement No:4517/NS/01/EMR II DATED 30/04/2001
   I am sending this message from Chennai where I had been for the past 15 days. I have been out of Station from Shillong since the 17th of Jan.2002 and possibly
I shall be returning to NEHU , Shillong around the 20th of March 2002. Only after this I would look up my mail box to know the correspondences/communications received as usual in the Mail Box at deaprtment ofChemistry,NEHU. In the meantime I would like to inform the CSIR of the Following:
   1) I have been taking the initiative to further concretise on the initiatives I have been taking towards what I had envisaged in the project and in view of the time required for processing the applications for Funding at CSIR, I would be seeking to apply for Visiting Associateships to be present at NCL,Pune about which I had already mentioned in one of my earleier correspondences and required Prescribed Forms of Application.I have written to NCL,Pune also to consider this possibility.
2) I have the Possibility to visit Buenos Aires,Argentina to present a paper at the XIV
International Biophysics Congress and I have sent in my applcation to CSIR for travel grant. In the meantime the Organizers of the Conference have been able to extend AID to me from the Grants of WELCOME TRUST UK to the tune of US $1,000/- I request that CSIR also should let me know the possibilities soon.
3) In connection with the Bench Top model Facilities to be setup at NEHU,RSIC/Cept.of Chemistry?School of Life Sciences I could Correspond with Bruker and I had sent in information about it to CSIR subsequent to the Application date. The cost of such Units cannot be contained within the amount I have requested as Grant in the APPLICATION. However I do not want to Keep it as a project entirely out of the purview of such
initiatives and while considering the scheme in its entirity Irequest that due clarifications be provided to referees that this huge amount incommensurate with
the amount of 5.5Lakhs stated in the application should not be shown as a cause to say that the entire Project would not be Viable. Consider the merit of the initiatives,state what can be done with the amount granted and suggest how to carry throgh the other
initiatiives included there in which require funds in excess of what is requested. This all is only to mean that it should not be concluded that I included all these possibilities without actually comprehending the magnitude of amount which is necessary.I have
beentrying to visit some of the laboratories which the J.H Associates at Bangalore suggested regarding the Functioning of the Bench top Models of Resonance
Instruments UK.    I request an early reply and suggestions on how to
carry out such schemes at such places as the NEHU,Shillong where awareness about these well known NMR techniques is still not so much as to be fully appreciative of such initiatives and the entire mobilisation,support and implementation will be the
one Pricipal Investigators' responsibility.
