A year and a half ago, honourable Director Prof. Rajeev Sangal, during an interview with the team of Institute Newsletter, had announced the initiative of installing Solar Panels having a capacity of 1.5 MW on the roofs of various buildings in the Institute. Since then, this task has been carried forward by completing the installation on almost all the hostels and many of the departments in the institute. Having had said that, in this edition, we would like to carry out a more detailed analysis of this project.

In Talks: Vivifying your careerProfessor Incharge, Training and Placement Cell, IIT BHU

Message for the studentsI would suggest that the students maintain a balance between the academics and co-curricular activities. Do well in academics and do try to make a good use of the opportunities available beyond the class. Attend your classes, complete your assignments and take your projects very seriously. Join the language classes, become part of a society or student gymkhana. It is not necessary for you to be part of a formal organization made for students. You can volunteer for a good cause as well. These societies and groups, where you get yourself attached to the people, take you to a very different platform which gives you a lot of maturity and understanding which you can't get just by reading your textbooks.
