🌳 Dr. Ajit Kumar Shasany, Director, CSIR-NBRI, planted a clonal sapling of the sacred Pushkar Banyan (Kalpavriksha) at the Maharishi Parashar Bioresource Centre, Banthra Campus of the Institute under the "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam" campaign, a nationwide initiative envisioned by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India to promote environmental stewardship and honor motherhood.

Revered as a symbol of the Hindu Trinity and associated with Lord Brahma, this sacred tree represents longevity, strength, and immortality, enriching CSIR-NBRI's efforts toward conserving India's botanical, cultural, and spiritual heritage while contributing to the nation's green mission.

#Germany State of Thuringia President Mr Mario Voigt, accompanied by a high-level delegation, called on at Kartvaya Bhawan, New Delhi.

The meeting brought together representatives from government, research institutions and industry from both sides to identify pathways for connecting innovation ecosystems and accelerating collaboration in frontier technologies.

Discussions centred around quantum communication, quantum satellite communication, optical ground stations, EuroOGS network, Space technologies, StartUps and research-industry collaboration. 

The German side shared details of ongoing European initiatives relating to quantum communication infrastructure and optical communication systems, including developments under the EuroOGS network, which seeks to advance standardisation and interoperability in optical ground station technologies.

The Indian side highlighted the major recent initiatives undertaken under the leadership of PM @NarendraModi to strengthen India's research and innovation ecosystem, which include "Anusandhan National Research Foundation" (ANRF) and other measures aimed at promoting industry-linked research.

Recognising the State of Thuringia's emergence as a major European hub for photonics, optics, quantum technologies and advanced manufacturing, both sides explored opportunities for long-term institutional partnerships in frontier technologies.

The visit featured strategic discussions on the Tribal Health Observatory initiative, interactions with scientists, and a review of CSIR-NBRI’s research facilities. The delegation also assessed the institute’s 65-acre Botanical Garden, home to over 6,000 plant species, and explored opportunities to conserve medicinal plants in tribal hotspots through scientific techniques such as tissue culture, community seed banks, and cryopreservation.

Such collaborations are helping strengthen the documentation, conservation, and promotion of traditional tribal healing knowledge through science-based approaches.
