Craft Workshop and Bioactive Glass Research Highlight
A college hosted a workshop where artisans taught students traditional crafts like dokra and batik.
This helped the students learn about the value of skilled work.
Meanwhile, scientists at CSIR-CGCRI are creating a special type of glass called eBG, which can heal diabetic foot ulcers.
They tested it on animals and it worked great.
They are now working with a pharmaceutical company to get it approved for use on humans.
This new material, called Wondercare, may help heal wounds without scars and could be a breakthrough for treating diabetic patients.
A college hosted a three-day craft workshop.
Skilled artisans demonstrated indigenous crafts like dokra and batik.
Scientists are developing a new bioactive glass for diabetic foot ulcers.
The glass, named Wondercare, has shown promising results in animal studies.
Jui Chakraborty received the platinum jubilee award for her contribution.
