In 2013, the Department of Health Research (DHR), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Department, Government of India has sanctioned a scheme ‘Establishment of Multi-Disciplinary Research Units (MRUs) in the Government Medical Colleges/Research Institutions’ during the 12th Plan period at Government Medical College Thiruvananthapuram. The major focus of the scheme involves “Promotion, Coordination and Development of Basic, Applied and Clinical Research” in medical colleges. The proposed grant-in-aid from DHR includes an amount of Rs.5.00 crore as non recurring and a separate one time installment of Rs. 25 Lakhs for civil works. Financial assistance of Rs.19.23 Lakhs per annum for meeting the recurring expenditure towards staff to be engaged on contractual basis and Rs.15 Lakhs per annum towards consumables/training/contingencies will also be provided for a period of five years.
So far we have received financial assistance from the Govt. of India, Rs. 2.25 crore as non-recurring and Rs. 53.18 Lakhs towards recurring funds. The fund has been utilized for the purchase of advanced molecular biology equipments and established a laboratory. In 2018 the Govt. of Kerala has sanctioned an amount of Rs. 83.30 Lakhs as state share toward the furnishing of MRU. Initially the MRU lab has occupied in the State Reference Laboratory (SRL) of Dept. of Microbiology for a period of 5 years and in October 2018 we have shifted to new Multi Disciplinary Research Laboratory (MDRL) building at Govt. Medical College Thiruvananthapuram.
The Government of Kerala has sanctioned a Multi Disciplinary Research Laboratory (MDRL) and a modern Animal house facility at Govt. Medical College Thiruvananthapuram for an estimated cost of Rs. 28 crores in 2013. The MRU laboratory is now functioning in the first floor for MDRL with more than 4000 sqft laboratory area. The MDRL is a four storied building with an area of 55000 sq. feet and animal house is with an area of 9000 sq feet. Other than MRU the MDRL contain Virus Research and Diagnostics Laboratory (VRDL), genetics, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, drug designing, physiology, and community medicine laboratories. The upcoming multi disciplinary research facilities are now in a stage of transition towards molecular diagnostics as well as teaching areas too.
