Canadian High Commissioner calls on Jitendra Singh
Singh appreciated the gesture of the Canadian delegation and said, "the 'Ganga Action Plan' is not a mere river project for us but also a matter of faith for millions of Indians and therefore, it will be a valuable addition to the joint collaboration between India and Canada in the area of 'water for health'."
He said the move is bound to further promote India-Canada partnership at different levels.
A joint Science and Technology committee meeting of the two countries, according to Singh, will be held in the first half of next year and it would aim at announcing new programmes and initiating new awards for the already existing programmes.
Referring to a wide scope of collaboration between the two countries, Singh mentioned the action plan envisaging collaboration in the areas of Bio-technology, Health, Environment, Energy, Food Security, Nano-Technology Science, Communication and Industrial R&D.
He said, there will be an attempt to expedite the ongoing projects between the two countries on ‘PET-MRI Automatic Tumour Detection and Recognition’ thus adding another dimension to non- invasive detection of tumour using PET and MRI images.
Singh said two joint international patent applications by India and Canada have been filed under a project at ICGEB, Delhi to develop new potential anti-malarial drugs.
