FEEDS is credited with the first unit of women scientist scheme, code named (WOS-A) in the state under the ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, on the 4th October 2010.

The unit is presently involved in doing research in basic/applied sciences.

There are thirteen women scientists doing full time research work on thirteen projects.

• Cytotoxic evaluation of medicinal plants using MTT Assay against human cancer cell lines
• Nematode pasts of pigeonpea crops in Manipur with special reference to their management by low input technology
• In-vitro micropropagation of Taxus Baccata and Paris Polyphylla
• Genetic diversity assessment and cytological studies of citrus germplasm in Manipur using RAPD and advance Cytological technique
• Survey, collection of different king chilli (Capsicum Chinense Jacquin.) germplasm in Manipur varietal evaluation in terms of yield performance in a given unit area
• Mycorrhizal fungal diversity in the genus Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) and their conservation
• Synthesis, DNA binding investigations and biological activities of some divalent metal ion complexes with curcumin and nitrile group ligands
• In-vitro propagation of Dendrobium aphyllum (Roxb.) – a threatened orchid.

Integrated Project for Women Empowerment through Organic Kiwi fruit plantation & Piggery” under Ministry of Science & Technology, Department of Biotechnology, New Delhi

Horticulture – Organic Kiwi Fruit

• Assist 100 tribal women to cultivate Kiwifruit in 550 ha @ half hectare per women and
• To commonly organize packing and marketing.
• Kiwi fruit can remain productive over 50 years.
• On-farm training
• Preparing and distributing pamphlets on “kiwi fruit farming technology” in local dialects
• Organizes capacity building workshops.
• Supply of kiwi fruit seedlings to kiwi fruit farmers at the rate of 90 seedlings to a farmer i.e. 80 female and 10 male plants.
• Monitoring and documenting the plantation works.
• Supply of T-angles and wire or wooden poles collected by the farmer and wires supplied by FEEDS.
• All problems are cyclical in nature. When one is progressively solved it will improve the forest cover, and will maintain the environmental and ecological balance of the tribal habitats.
