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.

Tripura govt focusing on education sector: Manik Saha
'We now have Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), National Forensic Science University (NFSU), National Law University (NLU), National Institute of Technology (NIT) and National Sanskrit University in Tripura,' he said. Saha speaking at a government programme in South Tripura's Sabroom said earlier the state used to have 10-15 medical seats but now it has 400 medical seats including MBBS. Agartala, Jun. 20 (PTI) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Friday said his government is focusing on the education sector so that students from the state don't need to go outside to study. The CM said the state government was spending crores of rupees for building infrastructure for the education sector in the state. He said the state's annual budget has increased to Rs 32,000 crore for 2025-26 FY from Rs 27,000 crore during 2024-25 FY. 'It is a giant leap in the state's budgetary outlay and it has been possible because the Centre is convinced that all round development is taking place in our state. Besides, the World Bank has given Rs 1,400 crore for development of infrastructure,' he said. Saha claimed the quantum of SGST has increased and Tripura has emerged as the second-highest state in terms of per capita income in the northeast.

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.
