The director-general said the CSIR is large in scale from food and fuel safety to space research.
He said that the government allocated Rs 4,700 crore to CSIR in the last trade Union budget, and CSIR lab\'s own income from consulting companies was about Rs 1,000 crore.
At present, there are about 4,500 scientists involved in 38 national laboratories of the ministry, and the ministry will increase manpower in the R & D phase
