IIT-Patna conclave discusses rural transformation

Patna: Policymakers, technologists, domain experts and grassroots change-makers deliberated on innovative and sustainable solutions for rural development at a national conclave, aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047, hosted by Foundation for Innovators in Science and Technology (Fist) at IIT-Patna on Thursday. Inaugurating the conclave, IIT-P director T N Singh expressed his appreciation for the multidisciplinary approach of the conclave and reaffirmed the institution's commitment to research and innovation geared toward rural transformation. He called upon the stakeholders to work hard to ensure the complete transformation of rural India with a view to making the country developed. Introducing the central theme of the conclave, Fist's chief executive officer Praveen Kumar underscored the critical need for technological innovations in addressing the industrial challenges in rural sectors. He highlighted ongoing initiatives at Fist that bridge the gap between research findings and their on-ground application, particularly through entrepreneurship and technology incubation. The chairman of the Viksit Bharat Project - Mission 2047 presented an overview of its objectives and emphasised the shared responsibilities of the govt, academia, startups and civil society in transforming India's villages into engines of inclusive growth and innovation. Prominent among those who participated in the deliberations were HSPC director Afsar Imam, Gujarat-based TS University's Jeena Madan, Hostage India's Chairman Sandeep Gupta and ILCS' general manager Prem Sharma.

IIT Delhi researchers develop compact, energy efficient computing device using 2D materials tech

New Delhi: A team of researchers at IIT Delhi developed a compact, energy-efficient computing device using 2D materials technology. 2D materials technology involves the use of materials that are just one or a few atoms thick, offering unique electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Unlike conventional computers that rely on traditional semiconductor materials and bulky designs, often resulting in high power consumption, this innovation promises to make future computers significantly smaller, faster, and more power-efficient. The team, which includes Dr Manoj Kumar and Kritika Bhattacharya and is led by Dr Samaresh Das, head of centre for applied research in electronics at IIT Delhi, named the device MOD-PC (Multifunctional Optoelectronic Device for Processing Circuits). Optoelectronic signal processing means handling signals that involve both light (optical) and electricity (electronic). In regular computers, most signals are processed electronically (using electrical currents). However, optoelectronic devices can process signals using both light and electricity. This allows for much faster data transmission, lower energy loss, and the ability to handle huge amounts of data quickly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo The new computing cell, called MOD-PC, is built using light-sensitive tungsten diselenide (WSe2), a 2D material that holds great promise for creating next-generation, deeply scaled computing chips. Kumar, the lead author of the study, explained that the computing unit draws inspiration from the visual cortex of the human brain. This allows it to learn from optical light signals, mimic synaptic plasticity, and store data for long-term use. The device can also perform digital, analogue, and mixed-signal operations within a single unit, helping to overcome the traditional memory and power limitations faced by conventional computing systems, he added. Bhattacharya, a senior research fellow at IIT Delhi, led the fabrication and implementation of the MOD-PC chips. She shared that producing semiconductor chips from WSe2, which measure only a few nanometres in thickness and size, was challenging. However, with persistent efforts and advanced fabrication techniques, the team successfully achieved this breakthrough. Speaking about its real-world impact, Das, principal investigator of the project, said that the development of the MOD-PC device could transform neuro-vision computing hardware, with significant applications in artificial intelligence and neuro-robotics.

QS world University Rankings 2026: IIT Kharagpur ranks 4th in India, 215th globally

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur has been ranked 4th in India and 215th globally in the latest QS World University Rankings 2026, the institute said in a statement on Friday. The institute jumped seven places from its position in the 2025 rankings. The QS World University Rankings 2026 evaluated 8,467 institutions worldwide and featured 1,501 universities in the final list. IIT Delhi is the best-ranked Indian institution in the rankings, climbing more than 70 places in two years to secure the 123rd spot in the coveted list. IIT Kharagpur has performed well in parameters like sustainability, employer reputation, citations per faculty and international research network, the statement noted. "This global recognition is a testament to our collective pursuit of excellence in knowledge creation, dissemination, and societal impact. We remain committed to fostering innovation and interdisciplinary learning at a global level," said Prof. Amit Patra on the latest rankings before handing over the charge to his successor, the newly appointed director Prof. Suman Chakraborty. The official handing-over of charge is scheduled to take place next week. Patra has been serving as acting director since January 1, following the completion of tenure of Director Prof. VK Tewari on December 31.
