T. Ramasami, secretary, department of science and technology, explained that research fellows often lose tracks of their proposals, which are there with the ministries for grant approval for long time. This online system will help them track the status of their proposals easily.

Usually it takes around nine months to a year's time for a grant proposal to get approval.

The software is being prepared by Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) and he expects it to be ready very soon.
