IIT Jodhpur launches Thar DESIGNS – IIT Jodhpur has launched Thar Desert Ecosystem Sciences Guided by Nature and Selection (DESIGN) to restore Thar desert, its minerals and medicines and its flora and fauna by carrying out ecosystem phenomics through transdisciplinary framework of Medical, Engineering, Environmental and Life Sciences.

Thar is a hot desert, unique to the Indian subcontinent and is characterized by high maximum temperature with large diurnal variations, scanty rainfall, extreme aridity, and intense UV radiations, say sources from IIT Jodhpur.

The impact of loss of natural deserts is immense as these habitats are rich in flora and fauna as well as minerals and medicines that nurture and maintain different life forms on earth, say sources from IIT Jodhpur.

Often considered as wastelands, deserts are crucial for stabilization of climate. Any shift in climate change or anthropogenic activity can lead to maladaptation’s for organisms who live at the ebb of physiological extremes, loss of diversity through extirpations and ultimately an ecosystem collapse.

This knowledge generation will result in providing a ‘Desert Ecosystem Knowledge Grid’ that could foster the cycle of engineering- research-development-commercialization.

This data grid will be helpful in finding solutions for management of diseases common and endemic to desert regions, novel bioprospecting opportunities and innovative bio-inspired engineering designs, say sources from IIT Jodhpur.

It could also help evolve unique strategies for ecological conservation and restoration that ensures sustained livelihood for its inhabitants.

Thar DESIGNS is also likely to propel the growth of new industry and capacity building for next-generation tech-savvy social and eco-entrepreneurs.
