Research Projects:
At present four research projects sponsored by various national funding agencies including Indian Council of Medical Research, Central Council of Research in Unani Medicine and U.P. Council of Science & Technology are continuing, while two are in the pipe-line. These projects are on the biochemical evaluation of the protective role of herbal preparations in various diseased conditions.
