Very soon these products will be come in the market. I am happy to share that as a Govt Scientist invented products transferred to any Indian citizen with some terms & conditions and a minimal transfer fees. I have evaluated many PhD and MSc thesis and conducted many PhD and MSc viva-voce exam as an expert in different university and Institute. The main aim is to distribute the products invented should be used for benefit of the people. To promote unemployed youth give right direction for earning money and establish industry in the way of transfer of invented technologies ‘in make in India concept’. I believe that it is better to make industry with new herbal products in Indian market and engaged more unemployed youth than to publish the research articles in journals in web portal.
