Haan ji, the grant is won after a panel of experts reviews the proposal for scientific merit, and then we check if the budget heads—like equipment, JRF salaries, and consumables—are realistic. The March equipment pile-up? That's because of our own financial year closing and purchase rules requiring three quotations, which takes time when everyone is rushing. Watching my daughter's college fees drain my account each semester, I designed the utilisation certificate system to be strict, so every rupee in a grant is accounted for like I account for my own.
