The idea is to develop models for injury prediction.Along with this I am also focussing on development of hand tools, work station and work process as well.<br>
In the area of visual ergonomics I am investigating the area of symbol and icon comprehension level of people in different parts of the country.Research is currently in progress in this area.

Some of these problems are unique in an Indian scenario, whereas many of them are common all over the globe.A recent publication in this regards might be helpful to ergonomists working in real life scenario.

In the Industrial sector and especially software industry ergonomics is being applied at its maximum under the label "usability engineering".<br>
The institutions where ergonomics is being taught and practised are National Institute of Design, Indian Institute of Technology, Calcutta University just to name aa few.Its boom time for ergonomics in India.

Where ever there is human there is ergonomics or human factors as it is also called. In India this applied and multidisciplinary subject is gradually picking up. Whether it is the hand tool of the craftsmen or a complicated medical equipment there is a bit of ergonomics everywhere.
