Jaipur, Nov 2 (KNN) In order to improve camel research in the country and collaborate with national and international agencies for the development of camels, Bikaner based National Research Centre on Camel (NRCC) is seeking expert consultancy for making the centre ISO 9001:2008 compliant.
“The major mandates of this centre are to undertake basic and applied research for improvement of camel; provide leadership and co-ordinate camel research and training nationally and act as a national repository of information; and to collaborate with national and international agencies for camel research and development,” said NRCC.
NRCC Bikaner is a premier research institution for research, management and implementation of R&D activities in managing research in Camelid Science in the country.
It is functioning under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (Department of Agriculture Research an Education – DARE, Ministry of Agriculture).
Under the performance Monitoring and Evaluation System (PMES) for Government Departments, each Government Department is required to prepare a Results Framework Document (RFD).
Under RFD, there is a set of mandatory indicators that are common to all departments preparing RFDs. One such important mandatory indicator is obtaining ISO 9001:2008 certifications. Accordingly government departments have to start the work of implementing ISO 9001:2008 requirements. It is envisaged that government departments will need the services of competent consultants to implement the requirements of ISO 9001:2008.
In this context, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research has sought for consultants for providing ISO 9001:2008 consultancy services.
Since the distribution of dromedary camels in India (5,16,828 heads) is confined to the arid and semi-arid areas of North-western India spread out in parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana, the NRCC is focusing on basic and applied research on one humped camel (Camelus dromedarius). The centre is also focusing issues of double humped camel (Camelus bactrianus) found in the cold desert of Nubra Valley of Laddakh region. (KNN/SD)
