Data breach at ICAR hits key recruitment, agri research projects
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), the country's apex research organisation in the sector, suffered a security breach earlier this year that led to the loss of 'crucial data' related to a range of areas, from recruitment to research projects, The Indian Express has learnt. Documents reviewed by this newspaper show that ICAR constituted a six-member committee this month to submit 'recommendations' regarding the 'non-functionality of the DC (Data Centre) and DRC (Disaster Recovery Centre)'. The panel was also asked to suggest 'suitable measures' to ensure data security and 'prevent recurrence of such incidents in future'. The committee, which was directed to submit its report by July 31, is yet to meet, one of its members told this newspaper. According to sources, the breach occurred in April and affected the ICAR's website, its server in Delhi and its replication server at the National Academy of Agricultural Research Management (NAARM) in Hyderabad. 'Data related to recruitment, from Technical Officers to Deputy Directors General (DDG) and job applications sought last year, is missing. The missing data also covers a large number of projects and related information submitted by scientists online and preserved in repositories. It includes email communications,' sources said. The Indian Express spoke to several ICAR scientists, from Lucknow, Karnal, Hyderabad, Pune and Delhi, and all of them said there were 'problems on the portal' and that they have raised the issue several times. 'It is not only our email communication system that is not working. The problem is that crucial data of recruitment, finances, scientists, research projects and administrative work has vanished from the server and replication server,' said a senior scientist. When contacted, M L Jat, Secretary, Department of Agricultural Research and Education, and Director General of ICAR, told The Indian Express: 'A few months back, there was some hacking of our website. Presently, everything is normal. The Ministry has constituted a committee in a follow-up of our data policy. That is a continuous process.' A senior member of the Council's Knowledge Management division said: 'Our website was restored in mid-May this year but another website is still not working.' The ICAR, which marked its 97th Foundation Day in New Delhi on July 16, describes itself as an organisation that 'has been spearheading agricultural research, education and extension activities for productivity enhancement and diversification of Indian agriculture'. Sources said the affected data was mainly related to Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board (ASRB), Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI) and National Academy of Agricultural Research Management (NAARM), all of which function under ICAR. R C Agrawal, the then DDG of ICAR who was also acting director at NAARM, said, 'I am superannuated now. I cannot comment.' IASRI director Rajendra Prasad declined to comment. An official in NAARM said, 'We are aware of this data disruption and are facing problems. But I can't tell you anything else.' According to sources, the security breach was raised during the Annual General Meeting of the ICAR Society, chaired by Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, in Delhi on July 7. Chouhan subsequently directed the formation of the six-member committee to be headed by Dr D K Yadava, DDG (Crop Sciences), ICAR. Yadava did not respond to requests from The Indian Express for comment. A member of the committee said, 'We are yet to hold a meeting as we are busy with several things. But we are planning to have one soon.' Shyamlal Yadav is one of the pioneers of the effective use of RTI for investigative reporting. He is a member of the Investigative Team. His reporting on polluted rivers, foreign travel of public servants, MPs appointing relatives as assistants, fake journals, LIC's lapsed policies, Honorary doctorates conferred to politicians and officials, Bank officials putting their own money into Jan Dhan accounts and more has made a huge impact. He is member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). He has been part of global investigations like Paradise Papers, Fincen Files, Pandora Papers, Uber Files and Hidden Treasures. After his investigation in March 2023 the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York returned 16 antiquities to India. Besides investigative work, he keeps writing on social and political issues. ...

PGI retrieves more than 28,000 medical case records for research, education purposes
The PGIMER, Chandigarh has retrieved approximately 28,585 medical case records and issued the same to residents authorised by consultants from various departments for research, education, and other official purposes. This initiative aims not only to enhance treatment methods but also to improve medical education and clinical research. The case records are helping doctors, resident doctors, and PhD scholars in case-based analysis for studies. These records support clinical trials, retrospective studies, treatment trend analysis, and diagnostic research. Alongside, the digitisation of patient records is ongoing, with the institute building a digital data bank to allow researchers quick and easy access to older patient files. In addition, anonymised files are being shared with resident doctors for medical education and case discussions. The case records department plays a crucial role in this process by coordinating with various departments and ensuring that records are shared securely for research, education, and administrative purposes. The department also maintains data confidentiality and patient privacy. The institute has taken constructive steps to modernise its record management system. Now, the process of requesting, tracking, and returning case files is being done digitally, making the system more transparent. A resident doctor from the Department of Medicine shared, 'earlier, it took time to get patient files, but now the file request process has become much smoother. Utilising such a large patient database for education and research is a valuable resource for doctors and medical students, and it will also help in shaping future health policies.' The diagnosis and treatment records help both research and studies extensively, and thesis and PhD projects can use actual case data, and researchers can look at patient data to compare new treatment protocols, with more availability of baseline data for multi-centre studies. Sanjay Jain, Dean (Research), PGIMER, highlighted the institute's research milestones, including securing Rs 109 crore in funding and executing 915 projects in 2023-2024. Jain noted that the Best Institutional Research Excellence Award 2024 at the DHR-ICMR Health Research Excellence Summit in New Delhi affirmed the PGIMER's leadership in medical innovation.
