Ncdir Jobs for Walkin For Programmer / Data Entry Operator / Project Clerk in Bangalore

The Coordinating Unit of the NCRP has been functioning at Bangalore since 1991. The basic infrastructure of staff, internet connectivity and computers and most importantly software programmes and modules have been developed. This has been developed in-house with support of hardware and software consultants. Further software development activity is underway so as to have user friendly state of the art modules that would meet the requirements listed above. Apart from the ease of consulting and/or hiring IT professionals/programmers there are several further reasons for having this centre in Bangalore. The Council has constructed a building for the units of ICMR located in Bangalore including the Coordinating Unit of NCRP. Lastly, like several major cities (including the metros) in India, it would promote the cause of medical research to have a permanent ICMR centre in Bangalore for several reasons. It has a number of medical institutions and several other scientific institutions. It would be important to have the presence of ICMR with a permanent centre with scope of future collaboration with many of these institutions. With the above information, Bangalore has been chosen as the location of this centre.

India is experiencing a rapid health transition, with large and rising burden of chronic diseases, which are estimated to account for 53% of all deaths and 44% of disability adjusted life years lost in 2005 (Reddy et al, 2005). Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a permanent centre that would provide a ready, valid, national data base be it for research, assessing clinical management or monitoring public health control measures.
With control of communicable diseases and changing life styles non-communicable diseases are becoming a major public health priority. Cancer, Diabetes, CVD and Stroke are all expected to rise both in numbers and incidence in the coming decades. There is a need for a sound national research data base whether that research is towards causation, observing clinical outcome or designing and monitoring control programmes. The NCRP has laid a strong foundation over the years to build on for cancer. The same principles for establishing a cancer research data-base will be adopted for setting up research data-bases in these other diseases as well.
