1. Non-conventional sources of energy: Renewable sources of energy are of great importance. The sources of energy are bio-gas, bio-fuel, solar energy, wind energy, biomass etc. These are eco friendly and economically efficient means to meet the energy needs of various sectoral applications, domestic needs and industrial applications. Most of the schemes, relating to renewable sources of energy are formulated by the Government of India and the State Government provides supplementary financial support.

  • National New Biogas Organic Manure Programme: It is a central scheme for promotion of setting up of Biogas plants and application of green manure. 
  • PM-KUSUM: Pradhan Mantri-Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (KUSUM), a central scheme for farmers for installation of solar pumps and grid connected solar and other renewable power plants.
  • A central sponsored project for Solarization of Konark.

2.    Scientific Research

  • Development of Biotechnology: Biotechnology, the cutting edge technology with the potential to revolutionize many facets of industrial, agricultural and medicinal practices, is perceived as a major vehicle for socio-economic development through application and use of biological agents and materials in the production of appropriate goods and services. The following activities / programmes are taken up under the scheme “Development of Biotechnology”.
    • Financial support to Research & Development projects 
    • Financial Support to Pursue Masters Degree and PhD
    • Financial support for holding workshops/seminars/symposia/conference etc.
    • Fiscal & Non-fiscal incentives under Biotechnology Policy-2018/2016
    • Financial support for attending workshops/seminars/symposia/conference

  • Application of Remote Sensing, GIS and IT: Odisha Space Applications Centre, as the State Nodal Agency for remote sensing application and research studies. The space technology, Geographic Information System, IT etc are being used for survey, planning and development of action plans for natural resources management, e-Governance, Disaster mitigation. The following schemes/projects are under taken by ORSAC:
    • With the support of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) space technology for the education and development has come up with a dedicated satellite named as EDUSAT. Under this programme, ISRO has supported installation of control centres and a few remote terminals in the State of Odisha to utilize the channel for benefit of the High School students. 
    • Implementation of a Research and Development Project under the climate change action plan of Odisha is undertaken under the name is “Assessment of Erosion Prone Areas of Odisha State and study of Micro & Meso Level Effects of Erosion on Costal Roads and Settlements” with the help of Digital Elevation model and “Survey and Mapping using unmanned air craft system”
    • GoI-State Pilot project on ”Application Development for the urban and rural areas of Odisha State using Odisha Spatial Data Infrastructure(OSDI) Frame Work by converging Data Gaps” 

3. Development of Planetarium & Museums

  • Establishment of Planetaria: The main objective and function of the planetarium is to popularize Astronomy, Astro-physics and Space Science among the public in general and student community in particular through planetarium shows, night sky watch programmes, training programmes on astronomy, astrophysics and space science, demonstration of models, holding of seminars and workshops etc. Currently, there are two Planetaria functioning in the State, one at Bhubaneswar and the other one at Burla; six more Planetaria are coming up in the districts of Ganjam, Rayagada, Mayurbhanj, Sundargarh, Balangir and Keonjhar.

4.
