‘We are pushing boundaries in AI, cyber security': IIT-Kharagpur director at 71st convocation
IIT-Kharagpur director Suman Chakraborty on Tuesday said the institution was pushing boundaries in the areas of artificial intelligence, cyber security and cloud computing, and it has become a national leader in AI's responsible real-world applications in health care and climate. Speaking during the institute's 71st convocation, Chakraborty said their AI department has started offering BTech, MTech and interdisciplinary dual degree courses. 'Our research spans from virtual accident monitoring to waste water engineering to next-generation wireless communication. We have become a national leader in responsible and explainable AI in real-world applications in health care and climate with an emphasis on human-centric AI,' he said. 'We have taken decisive steps to enhance national defence capabilities through the DRDO Industry Academia Centres of Excellence (DIA-CoEs), IIT Kharagpur, focusing on underwater robotics and cyber physical defence systems. Our healthcare technologies are reaching rural India, AI models are being used for disaster response and precision agriculture,' he added. Tata Steel MD TV Narendran, who is also board of governors chairman at IIT-Kharagpur, said, 'India is on the rise to become a global leader in technology and manufacturing . Our stories are deeply intertwined with that of India's progress. IIT-Kharagpur is keeping pace with change and helping the future.' Former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman S Somanath, was the chief guest on the occasion. Anand Deshpande, founder and chairperson of Persistent Systems and Anuradha Acharya, CEO of Mapmygenome were among those present. As many as 3,731 degrees, including 277 PhD, 18 MS, 956 50 MCP, 142 MBA, 23 EMBA, 58 PGDBA, 5 MMST,28 MHRM, 18, 47 LLM, 31 LLB, 786 Dual Degree, 614 (Hons), 46 (Hons), 151 Four-Year B.S, 260 Five-year 214 Two-Year 3 3 Three-year and 1 CER including the President's Gold Medal, Prime Minister's Gold Medal, and others were awarded to the students. Also, 25 Distinguished Alumnus Awards were bestowed on the alumni for their outstanding contribution to science, academia, education, research and society.

Kaziranga records high diversity of grassland bird species
GUWAHATI Researchers have found a great diversity of grassland bird species in the Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve. In the first such survey of avians conducted between March 18 and May 25, a team of forest officials, bird experts, scientists, and conservationists recorded 43 grassland species across Kaziranga's three wildlife divisions. The survey report was released on Monday (July 14, 2025), marking a milestone in the documentation and protection of grassland-dependent bird species in the Brahmaputra floodplains. They included the critically endangered Bengal florican, the endangered Finn's weaver, and the swamp grass babbler. Among the remaining 40 species, six were in the vulnerable category — the black-breasted parrotbill, marsh babbler, swamp francolin, Jerdon's babbler, slender-billed babbler, and bristled grassbird. Grassland health 'A highlight of this survey is that the Finn's weaver, locally known as tukura chorai, is breeding successfully. This remarkable bird, a master nest-builder atop trees, is a vital indicator of grassland health,' Assam's Environment Minister, Chandra Mohan Patowary, said while releasing the report. The 1,174 sq. km Kaziranga is a mix of grasslands, forestlands, and wetlands. 'The study is significant because wet grasslands are not very well surveyed in India. Kaziranga's grassland bird diversity can, thus, be compared in terms of species richness with the dry grasslands of Gujarat and Rajasthan,' the national park's director, Sonali Ghosh, said. A key highlight of the study was the deployment of passive acoustic recorders, enabling non-invasive and continuous monitoring even in inaccessible or high-risk areas. This approach significantly improved species detection, especially of shy and cryptic birds, enhancing the overall accuracy and depth of the findings. The report identifies several critical grassland habitats within Kaziranga that support significant populations of threatened and endemic species. One such habitat is the park's Kohora Range, where a breeding colony of the Finn's weaver was spotted.

IIT Mandi concludes PRAYAS 3.0, offers STEM training to school students
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi has completed the third edition of its school outreach programme, PRAYAS 3.0. The initiative ran for a month and brought school students to campus for an extended exposure to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).The aim of PRAYAS is to give school students an early experience with labs, lectures, and real-world problem-solving at a leading science from across the region participated in this edition, staying on campus and attending sessions led by IIT Mandi faculty and student LEARNING, ROBO SOCCER, AND EARLY STEM EXPOSURE The programme mixed workshops with lab visits, project-based learning, and team of the standout moments came during the Robo Soccer challenge, an event where students designed and programmed robots to play football matches. For most participants, it was their first time working with robotic systems.'The excitement on their faces as they controlled their robots on the soccer field was priceless,' said a student mentor. 'Most of them had never done anything like this before.'Apart from robotics, the programme introduced participants to basic computer programming, circuit building, and mechanical design. It also included problem-solving exercises and exposure to tools and equipment that are often not available in regular school at the closing ceremony, Dr. Tushar Jain, Head of the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) at IIT Mandi, said, 'PRAYAS is about planting seeds of curiosity. We hope this experience will stay with these students for a long time and influence how they approach learning.'Dr. Jain added that early exposure to STEM fields helps students build confidence and interest. 'The learning and confidence they've gained here—we hope that pushes some of them to take up science or engineering seriously in the future.'The programme ended with a certificate distribution ceremony on campus. For the participating students, the past month offered more than just lessons—it offered a glimpse into a future where science is not just studied, but also built, tested, and played PRAYAS 3.0, IIT Mandi continues its effort to connect scientific institutions with the next generation, one robotics match at a time.- Ends
