Annexure – E
The Proposal is submitted under De-novo category as we are devoted to
innovative teaching and intent to start PG Course and research in unique and
emerging areas of knowledge. Our main goal is to enhance core activities
including research and teaching and dissemination and sharing of knowledge
We are planning to undertake a wide range of knowledge generation and
accumulation, knowledge sharing and transfer as well as knowledge
application. As per the demand and requirement of new technologies in
various industries globally, emphasis is given on collaborations with industries
and tie-up with leading universities.
In order to maintain a high level of quality and to meet recent challenges and
requirement, we emphasize user-focus high impact research and teaching.
We have identified and selected specific areas in emerging field to strengthen
our resources and at the same time broaden our knowledge accumulation in
these areas. The selected areas are:
1. Nanotechnology:
Nanotechnology is an emerging multidisciplinary technology and has a
high potential to affect every aspect of life. It is an enabling technology to
develop novel materials in the nano scale range and can generate new
capabilities, products and markets. It has major application in the field of
medical science, information technology advance materials,
textiles,
chemical and pharmaceutical industries etc. A few universities/institute
offers four year B.Tech and five years integrated M.Tech courses in nano
technology. Delhi University BHU and IISc Bangalore etc. have research
facilities in nano technology. We are planning to introduce M.Tech. in
Nanotechnology giving emphasis on industrial applications of nonmaterial.

2. Radio frequency:
Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting for WSN is one of the critical
research topics to enhance the lifetime of the WSN. Recently, prolonging
the lifetime of a wireless network through energy harvesting has received
significant
attention.
There
are
various
energy
harvesting
techniques apart from the conventional energy harvesting methods, such
as solar, wind, vibration, thermoelectric effects or other physical
phenomena, a new emerging solution is to avail ambient radio-frequency
(RF) signals. Though, replacing or recharging batteries can avoid energy
harvesting, it incurs a high cost and can be inconvenient or hazardous
(e.g., in a toxic environments), or highly undesirable (e.g., for sensors
embedded in building structures or inside the human body). The solution
for such problem is RF EH WSN. The advantage of RF EHWSN provides
Energy-on-Demand. Moreover, in some deployments, owing to the sensor
location, battery replacement may be both practically and economically
infeasible, or may involve significant risks to human life. An application of
wireless sensor network which is used for environmental event analysis is
known as environmental monitoring.
3. Cloud Computing :
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a
product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are
provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity
grid) over a network (typically the Internet). Clouds can be classified as
public, private or hybrid. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to

achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the
electricity grid) over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is the
broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services. Cloud
computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on
maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources
are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically
reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users.
For example, a cloud computer facility that serves European users during
European business hours with a specific application (e.g., email) may
reallocate the same resources to serve North American users during North
America's business hours with a different application (e.g., a web server).
With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve
and
update
their data
without
purchasing licenses for different
applications.
Benefits of Cloud Computing
1. Achieve economies of scale – increase volume output or productivity with
fewer people. Your cost per unit, project or product plummets.
2. Reduce spending on technology infrastructure. Maintain easy access to
your information with minimal upfront spending. Pay as you go (weekly,
quarterly or yearly), based on demand.
3. Globalize your workforce on the cheap. People worldwide can access the
cloud, provided they have an Internet connection.
4. Streamline processes. Get more work done in less time with less people.
5. Reduce capital costs. There’s no need to spend big money on hardware,
software or licensing fees.

6. Improve accessibility. You have access anytime, anywhere, making your
life so much easier!
7. Monitor projects more effectively. Stay within budget and ahead of
completion cycle times.
8. Less personnel training is needed. It takes fewer people to do more work
on a cloud, with a minimal learning curve on hardware and software
issues.
9. Minimize licensing new software. Stretch and grow without the need to buy
expensive software licenses or programs.
10. Improve flexibility. You can change direction without serious “people” or
“financial” issues at stake.
