IIT-G course to help people in combatting flood devastation

1 2 Guwahati: Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT-G) will now train manpower to aid affected people during the annual devastation caused by floods in Assam. It aims to equip people with scientific water resources management techniques. The institute announced on Tuesday the launch of a new MTech programme in Flood and Water Resources Management, tailored for working professionals and graduates. Backed by the World Bank under a broader initiative led by the Assam Flood and River Erosion Management Agency (FREMAA), IIT-G said the project aims to equip over 200 engineers in the next 10 years with the advanced tools and expertise needed to build a flood-resilient Assam. The department of civil engineering of IIT-G will deliver this course in a hybrid format, combining online lectures with on-campus laboratory sessions and final examinations. "The programme is designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and applied skills to address complex challenges related to water scarcity, climate variability, and sustainable development," IIT-G said in a statement, adding that the application portal for the inaugural batch is now open. The programme does not require a GATE score for admission. Selection will be based on departmental written tests and interviews. IIT Guwahati online education and skilling dean Prof. Hemant B Kaushik said, "As climate risks intensify, flood events become more frequent, and water resources face mounting stress, the demand for skilled professionals in this domain has never been greater. This programme is designed to help tackle these challenges."

Govt to invite private investors for IIT-B solar power centre

Mumbai: The high-efficiency, low-cost Silicon-Perovskite Tandem solar cells developed at IIT-Bombay is a game-changer for the country's solar energy future, said union minister Pralhad Joshi during his visit to the institute on Monday. While the ministry for new and renewable energy (MNRE) has so far provided Rs 200 crore to IIT-Bombay's National Centre for Photovoltaic Research and Education (NCPRE) for research and development in solar cells, power electronics and batteries, among other things, the govt now plans to rope in private investors to scale the technology commercially. Researchers at the IIT-Bombay-incubated start-up, Advanced Renewable Tandem-Photovoltaics India (ART-PV India), in a major breakthrough, have developed the Silicon-Perovskite solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of almost 30%, surpassing the usual 22-23% achieved in conventional solar photovoltaic cells. "This is a national milestone and one of the highest performance levels ever achieved in India and needs commercial production," the minister said during a media interaction. The technology has been patented and published in a journal, and there is optimism about scaling it up for commercial use, he added. The new solar cell follows a four-terminal configuration, where the perovskite and silicon layers are stacked non-monolithically, allowing the independent optimisation of each sub-cell. The top-layer of perovskite absorbs the high-energy sunlight, and the rest is absorbed by the silicon layer, helping in increased efficiency of the cell.

Kabra said that the meeting on Tuesday was centered around scaling the technology through public-private partnerships and that the team is keen on using indigenous equipment, that are manufactured locally, in their laboratories. The ART-PV is planning the commercial roll out by Dec 2027. The MNRE is also supporting ART-PV India with a grant of Rs 83 crore for establishing a state-of-the-art pilot manufacturing facility on the Powai campus, in line with the commitment to nurturing domestic intellectual property, and ensuring Indian innovation reaches global markets. The ministry will continue to provide policy and financial support to ensure India's renewable energy sector thrives on innovation and self-reliance, said Joshi. He urged the ART-PV team to commercially demonstrate the fact that these solar cells are not only scalable but also profitable. He mentioned the need for policy decisions to encourage private sector involvement and faster commercialisation of such technologies.

City school students thrilled to track splashdown live

1 2 3 4 Kolkata: The return of the Crew Dragon Grace Spacecraft capsule, which made a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, California, around 3.01 pm (IST) on Tuesday, brought excitement to the faces of students across the city. Around 200 school students turned up at the Birla Industrial and Technological Museum (BITM) to witness the historic moment virtually as the return of the Axiom Mission 4 was live-streamed there. As the clock ticked closer to the landing, the excitement was at its peak among the youngsters accompanied by their teachers. Raj Routh, a Class VI student of Mitra Institution (Main), said, "It is a happy moment for all Indians as Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and the crew touched down on the planet." After 20 days since the launch on June 25 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and docking to the International Space Station (ISS) the next day, Shukla and the three crew members successfully completed the Axiom Mission 4.

Holding the Indian national flag high, the students cheered "Jai Hind, Jai Bharat" as the crew made a splashdown, and the auditorium at BITM broke into applause. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo Another Class VIII student, Rudra Roy, said, "I am proud and happy that India could achieve the space mission. It is the first time that I am witnessing something like this, so my excitement knows no bounds." Along with the screening of the splashdown, the BITM also arranged an open house quiz on spaceflight missions and an interactive science demonstration of rocket science of Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon Grace Spacecraft. Teachers were equally thrilled to be there. Mitali Chakraborty Saha, a teacher, said, "The students are very happy to be here, to witness something like this together. It would be impossible to experience this at home as they would not be together." Another teacher, Tuhina Chatterjee, showing similar enthusiasm, said that "we were eagerly looking forward to the crew's homecoming." Arnab Chatterjee, director of BITM, said, "It is a moment of pride that Shukla has travelled to space 41 years after Rakesh Sharma's mission. We found excitement on the faces of the students who came for the live-streaming despite rain. This event not only aims at educating the kids about space science but also makes us believe that it may inspire some of these students to be astronauts in the days to come." Four months ago, on March 18, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore also made a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida after being retrieved by the SpaceX Dragon capsule. The BITM live-streamed that event as well.
