IIT Kharagpur (IIT KGP) signed a MoU with Central Council for Research (CCRH) in Homoeopathy on a collaborative study between IIT KGP and CCRH on the project titled “Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopic Study and Raman Study in Homeopathic Potentized Medicines and Characterization, Standardization and Analysis of the Imponderable Medicines (X-Ray, Electricity, Magnetis Polus, Australis etc.).The study include research activities, research schemes on Clinical Verification Research, Clinical Research, Drug Proving etc.
The MoU was signed by Dr. Subhash Kaushik, Director General, CCRH and Prof. Rintu Banerjee, Deputy Director, IIT Kharagpur in the presence of Prof. V. K. Tewari, Director, IIT Kharagpur. The study team included Dr. Ritika Hassija Narula, Research Officer/Scientist -2, CCRH and Dr. Chander Shekhar Tiwary, Assistant Professor, Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, IIT Kharagpur along with Dr. Gurudeb Choubey, Scientist-4, CCRH and Dr. Shivendu Ranjan, IIT Kharagpur and other officials.
“A project based MoU has been signed between CCRH and IIT Kharagpur to undertake a fundamental research project on FTIR and Raman Study in Homeopathic Potentized Medicines and Characterization and Analysis of the Imponderabilia Medicines,” said Dr. Subhash Kaushik, Director General, CCRH.
The period of the project is for 3 years. All the patents will be registered with the help of National Research Development Corporation (NRDC) with joint ownership. Both the institute shall consult each other for any publication in respect to the project which shall be a joint publication.
Prof. V K Tewari, Director, IIT Kharagpur stated, “This MoU will be instrumental in the study of Homeopathic Potentized Medicines. We need to channelize the research projects that will give us the scope to develop and augment the field of medicine through technological convergence. In this study, Raman spectroscopy can be used to study the vibrational spectra of homeopathic medicines.”
