RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT The institute has witnessed significant growth in its Research and Development activities in diverse fields of Science and Technology during the year 2005-06. The faculty members and research engineers/ scientists of the institute are engaged in executing, at any time, about 500 sponsored projects and about 350 consultancy projects. Last year, the institute received a total research grant of approximately 550 million rupees for sponsored projects and 41 million rupees for consultancy projects, respectively. The institute faculty has filed about 14 patents in India and overseas last year. The institute has also signed several Memorandums of Understanding with international academic/ research institutions and industries, within India and abroad, to strengthen its collaborative research efforts. Some of these organizations are: Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), ISRO, Altera International Limited, Hong- Kong, Cornell University (Cornell), The California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Honda R&D Co. Ltd. Recently the Institute has collaborated with Intel Technology India Pvt. Ltd., (Intel), National Yunlin University of Science & Technology, Taiwan, Neurogen Corporation, USA etc. Over the past few years, the institute has embarked proactively on taking up collaborative product oriented R&D projects involving joint participation of industries, R&D laboratories and government organizations. Setting up of the Samtel Centre for Display Technologies (SCDT) has been one of the most successful efforts in this direction. The SCDT has proposed to develop a prototype of a commercially viable full colour Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display jointly with Samtel Industries. The Prototype Development Unit (PDU), as tripartite collaboration between IIT Kanpur, Samtel and DST, with a mandate to make a prototype of an OLED display came into being in June 2005. The mandate represents a complete display solution in a product form for a cutting edge technology. It is a tripartite collaboration between academia (IIT), industry (Samtel) and the government (Dept. of Science and Technology) and aims towards development of a product that has immediate commercial relevance; interestingly, the targeted user who has been intimately co-opted in the development cycle provides the required personnel right at the start. The project has a band of engineers deployed by Samtel Colour Ltd in SCDT, IIT Kanpur, who are jointly responsible for the execution of this project, along with IIT Kanpur faculty members over a period of three years at an approximate cost of Rs. 16 4 Annual Report 2005-2006 Crore. In the last one year, a Class 1000 clean room has been established in IIT Kanpur and perhaps it is among the very few in the academic institutions of the country. All major equipment has been installed, in accordance with the plan to produce the first prototype display before the end of the year. Moreover, the center has carried forward its research agenda in developing other applications of organic semiconductors such as Organic Solar Cells, Organic Thin Film Transistors and has even achieved significant scientific milestones in their development. A project funded by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) aims to develop large area MgO coatings for 42-inch size TV sets based on plasma display panels (PDP). The MgO coating is a key component that determines the voltage and lifetime as well as the cost of the PDP displays. This is a closely guarded technology, which is of significant economic advantage to the country. The project aims to develop the technology indigenously using reactive magnetron sputtering. IIT Kanpur is one of the eight Institutes chosen by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) for creating a state-of-the-art Nano Science and Technology Unit. The unit has taken up a project, which has a committed funding of about Rs. 12 Crore. It has installed several characterization facilities such as Focused Ion Beam, e-beam Patterning, Maskless Lithography, Micro-Raman, SPMs, NSOM, Laser Ablation, Surface Profilers, Spin Coating, Nano-positioners, etc. The research work carried out by a core team of about 20 faculty members from across the departments will achieve its target using resources on magnetic materials, nano-structuring of soft materials and surfaces for optoelectronics and bulk-nano applications including optical coatings, super hydrophobic coatings, smart adhesives, nano-fluidics, super-batteries and capacitors, carbon MEMS and sensors. The Institute is also setting up a Centre for Nanotechnology somewhat similar to the SCDT and looks forward to building on and extending its achievements in organic electronics. The Centre is ambitious towards making electronics printable through the use of a variety of nanotechnologies. A sum of Rs 12.15 Crore has been sanctioned by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) for this effort including development of a unique multiple source Focused Ion Beam. It will lead to demonstration of printable radio-frequency identification tags as a prototype demonstrator of this rapidly emerging class of applications.

  • January 2013
    January1 of 91. 2013 International affairs: US President Barack Obama on 31 January, has come out with his much-awaited comprehensive immigration reforms, that will pave the way for legalization of more than 11 million undocumented immigrants. The reforms, which also propose to eliminate the annual country caps in the employment category, are expected to benefit large number of Indian technocrats and professionals. In a major policy speech on comprehensive immigration in Las Vegas, Obama urged the Congress to act on his proposals. The other key proposals of his "comprehensive" reform plan include "stapling" a green card to the diplomas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), PhD and Masters Degree graduates from qualified US universities who have found employment in the country. The President also proposed to create a startup visa for job-creating entrepreneurs. The proposal allows foreign entrepreneurs, who attract financing or revenue from American investors and customers, to start and grow their businesses in the US, and to remain permanently if their companies grow further, create jobs for American workers, and strengthen the economy. The proposal removes the backlog for employment-sponsored immigration by eliminating annual country caps and adding additional visas to the system. Outdated legal immigration programs are reformed to meet current and future demands by exempting certain categories from annual visa limitations, the White House said. Obama also proposed to eliminate existing backlogs in the family-sponsored immigration system by recapturing unused visas and temporarily increasing annual visa numbers. The proposal also raises existing annual country caps from seven per cent to 15 per cent for the family-sponsored immigration system.

Bengaluru 562 123. Dedicated to the people of India Foreword It is with pride and satisfaction that I write this foreword to the book on the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs). The idea of having a national institution or a uni- versity dedicated to science was not completely new. Some years ago, in the National Committee for Science and Technology chaired by Shri C. Subramaniam, I had brought up the idea of establishing such institutions for science which would be equivalent to the IITs in engineering. For some reason, it could not happen. I kept repeating this in many places, and the idea was even included in a Planning Commission document during 1989–90. It took the right set of people and circumstances eventually to make this happen. When I was the Chairman of the Science Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, I described the idea of IISERs to the Prime Minister. He thought that it was a very good idea and gladly endorsed establishing them. When I talked to the Education Minister, Shri Arjun Singh, he expressed complete support.
