Institutional Development Project

Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP)
To develop the institute and modernize the laboratories, I took the lead and prepared
comprehensive project documents. After presentation and scrutiny, National Project
Implementation Unit (NPIU), a body responsible to implement World Bank project,
considered NIFFT in the category of Lead Institutions. Under this project, institute received
a grant of Rs. 14 Crore (US $3.04 Million) and I am acting as a coordinator of the project.

Campus wide Networking (CWN)
This project was of worth Rs 1.5 Crore (US $ 0.32 Million). Its proposal was prepared by me
and under the plan grant of the institute. The project was sanctioned by Board of Governors
and controlling Ministry (year 2002). I was convener of the project. Here, main task was to
prepare the specifications of networking components and other hardwares and softwares by
20
involving experts from premier institutions like IIT’s. I have coordinated each and every
activity, right from selection of networking experts, procurement consultant, floating of the
advertisement, evaluation of tenders, installation and commissioning, and finally certification.
Now project has been completed and each and every segment of the institute is connected
with internet.

As a coordinator, I prepared the documents and supervised the visit of National Board of
Accreditation (NBA) team deputed by AICTE. It was a massive coordinated effort from
various agencies and departments and all the six programs got accredited by the team in
2004.
