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 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.
Presented the case of NIFFT before the University Grant Commission for Deemed to be University status. Commission agreed to send an expert team to assess the institute and its proposal (2005).
