‘Generative AI next big leap towards making machines intelligent'
Prayagraj: In the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionised the way we live, work, and think. From predictive analytics and intelligent automation to self-driving vehicles and healthcare innovations, AI transformed several sectors. Today, we stand at a crucial juncture, moving beyond traditional AI to the fascinating world of Generative AI. These views were expressed by IIIT-A director Prof Mukul Sharad Sutaone while inaugurating the six-month AICTE-QIP-PG-certificate programme 2025 at Jhalwa campus on Tuesday. Prof Sutaone said: "Generative AI, as we all know, is not just about analysing data but about creating new content, whether it be text, images, music, or even scientific solutions. It represents the next big leap towards making machines not only intelligent but also creative collaborators." He said the theme reflects collective ambition to equip professionals and educators with cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills that align with global technological advancements. QIP coordinator Satish Kumar Singh said "At IIIT-Allahabad, we always emphasised the importance of interdisciplinary research, innovation-driven learning, and industry-academia collaborations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo This program, supported by AICTE under the quality improvement program, is another step in that direction." Dean academics, Prof Manish Goswami, encouraged all participants to make the most of this opportunity. "Let this programme not just impart technical skills but also inspire each of us to think ethically and responsibly about the technologies we build and deploy," he said.

IIIT-A to build two hostels with advanced amenities, green standards
Prayagraj: The Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Allahabad is preparing to construct two new state-of-the-art hostels to accommodate 1,500 students. Estimated to be constructed at a cost of around Rs 500 crore, these hostels are expected to be completed within the next three years. One of the hostels will house 1,000 boys while the other will be home to 500 girls. Both buildings are planned to be exemplary models of technology, safety and environmental sustainability. According to state officer at IIIT-A, Akhilesh Tiwari, the new hostels will have elevators and ramps designed to be accessible to differently abled students. The elevators will be specially constructed to allow stretchers to be transported in case of emergencies, ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents. The proposal has been approved by the Building and Works Committee (BWC) and is expected to receive final approval from the Board of Governors (BOG) later this year. A major highlight of the project is its commitment to green building standards. The hostels will incorporate energy-saving technologies, natural lighting, ventilation systems and water conservation methods, making them environmentally friendly and sustainable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The design also emphasises disaster resilience, with earthquake-resistant construction to safeguard students in case of emergencies. In addition, the hostels will include modern parking facilities to ensure smooth vehicular movement within the campus while optimising space usage. With a timeline of three years for completion, these hostels are poised to meet the future needs of the growing student population and provide a safe, eco-friendly, and technologically advanced living environment for students at IIIT-A.

IIIT-A scientists develop affordable device to separate plasma from blood in minutes
Prayagraj: In a ground-breaking development that promises to revolutionise healthcare, scientists from the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (IIIT-A) have created a cost-effective device capable of separating plasma from blood within minutes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Presently it takes an average of 10 to 15 minutes to separate plasma from one unit of blood. The device can also remove contamination from water within minutes. The innovation is poised to dramatically reduce both time and cost currently associated with such processes. This indigenous device, developed under a project funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), govt of India, was granted a 20-year patent. The study was also published in the prestigious Royal Society of Chemistry journal in the United Kingdom. Amit Prabhakar from the Department of Applied Sciences at IIIT-A, who led the project, said "The device works on the principle of hydrodynamic techniques, a simple yet highly effective application of general science. It uses micro-channels that allow one drop of purified liquid output per second. It can separate different blood components, be it red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), platelets and plasma, and that too with high precision. Likewise, when it comes to water purification, it efficiently filters out bacteria and suspended particles." Highlighting the cost advantage, Amit said conventional machines for similar tasks can cost several lakhs of rupees, making them inaccessible to small clinics and rural health centres. In contrast, this device is expected to be made available at just Rs 1,000. On scaling up, the cost of water filtration could be reduced further to as low as Rs 50–200 per unit, with a full multi-device setup costing approximately Rs 5,200. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The project saw active participation from MTech students Ankur Jaiswar, Praveen Kumar, and Amar Dhwaj. The project was granted between 2015 and 2020, and after completing it, the team started filing patents. Up till now, they have filed five patents, out of which three were granted while two are under review. Amit said one of the major advantages of this new water purification system is that it does not require a replaceable candle or membrane filter, unlike conventional RO systems. "The device can filter out particles as small as 2 nanometres and as large as 10 micrometres. Additionally, in its 2022 upgrade, the team introduced a method to detect whether water was effectively purified, further improving its practical utility," he said. "The product is still being refined to improve efficiency, but we already achieved success in the first phase, particularly in separating bacteria from water," shared Amit. This innovation is expected to benefit both urban and rural populations, offering a sustainable and affordable alternative for blood processing and clean drinking water. "With continued support, this could mark a major step forward in India's push for self-reliance in healthcare and sanitation technologies," he added.
