Mandate

To carryout teaching, research and extension on renewable energy sources and to develop

gadgets and devices for the stakeholders in order to substitute/complement the conventional energy sources by renewable sources with a view to conserve the presently used fossil fuels. In order to carryout the above mandate, programmes have been charted out for offering courses, carryout research and extension activities.Teaching the specific objective in education is to impart knowledge on the various aspects of renewable energy. The chief aim in education is taken care of by suitable formulation of courses, fine-tuning of course contents according to the need and development of the technology. Courses include all aspects of renewable energy conversion, conservation and management including practical experiments at Masters and Doctoral level. Research and Extension the specific and key objectives in research and extension are to identify the need and gap in present day renewable energy utilisation in various spheres, to formulate research programmes and extend the results, employ the developed gadgets for substituting/ complementing conventional sources of energy. In formulating research programmes, relative priorities are given to small, medium and large-scale agro-industries and allied utilities. Priorities are given to home, farm and agro-industries in view of the prospects of renewable energy technology applications in these sectors.
