PUKAR is very proud to host the Institutional Ethics Committee which approves each and every health-related project conducted by PUKAR in collaboration with national and international academic institutions. It needs to be noted that for papers based on our research to be published in ‘Peer Reviewed International Journals’, it is mandatory to have approvals from the IEC/IRB. Hence, an IEC was established in PUKAR in 2010. With the help of its eminent members, it has been functioning effectively and approving projects as per the requirements.
