Chitkara University, Solan, Himachal Pradesh

In October 2007, Government of Himachal Pradesh issued a Letter of Intent to the Chitkara Educational Trust for the establishment of Chitkara University. The Legislature of Himachal Pradesh passed Chit-kara University (Establishment and Regulation) Act, 2008 (Act No. 2 of 2009) that was notified in the Himachal Pradesh Gazette on January 28, 2009.

Chitkara University, Himachal Pradesh is a NAAC accredited State Private University established in 2008 in the state of Himachal Pradesh and has the right to confer degrees as per the Sections 2(f) and 22(1) of the UGC Act, 1956. It has been established and managed by passionate academicians with the sole mission of making each student “Industry-ready”. Our Founders, Dr. Ashok K Chit-kara and Dr. Madhu Chitkara have been passionate teachers for more than four decades.

It has stood indomitable and audacious throughout the years and proved itself in every aspect, with a vision of enlightening its students to think out of the box and push their boundaries in the field of educa-tion. Chitkara University is a brand in the academic sector and is known for its commit-ment, quality of education and comprehensive re-search in multiple sectors. Chitkara has grown tre-mendously and has attained a leadership position in North India which speaks volumes about its endur-ing commitment, outstanding faculty, and a rich learning environment.

The University offers under graduate, post graduate and Doctoral level programmes in engineering & sciences.

Geoinformatics and Building Technology Re-

search Centre, (GBTRC) Department of Civil

Engineering

The primary objective of the department is to pre-pare the graduates to be capable to solve the current civil engineering problems with the ability to adapt to problems of the future. The Department offers BE, ME and Ph.D. programmes in civil engineering.

Twenty faculty members are working in different fields of civil engineering; especially five faculty members are working dedicatedly in the field of Geoinformatics. There are ten well established labs in civil engineering department.

The GBTRC within the department of Civil Engi-neering is a Research Centre under the aegis of CURIN. The key mission of the GBTRC is to con-duct applied research in Geo-Informatics, Civil and Environmental Engineering. The major goal is to

use the latest tools and technologies to produce in-novative designs that can benefit our way of work. In this perspective, research in advance engineering and technology, such as the use of Geographical In-formation System (GIS) and Remote Sensing know-how, Water Resources Research, Building Technol-ogy and new Building Material Research in particu-lar is of utmost importance.

The centre provides an opportunity to pursue ex-ploratory projects in diverse areas of engineering and brings together a team of dedicated researchers who push the limits to achieve the goal.

Infrastrucutre at the GBTRC

GBTRC has the various facilities such as Arc View Lab kit version 10.2 (31 User Pack), STAAD Pro, Microstation + MX Road + Water GEMS + Sewer GEMS and QGIS, SAGA GIS, ILWIS, GEO5, Ge-oSlope, Total Station, GPS, Mirror Stereoscope along with Parallax Bar, Direct Shear apparatus, Triaxial Shear apparatus, Vane Shear apparatus, UTM, CTM and HP -A0 Size Scanner cum Printer.

Lodging Facilities

The University has it own guest house with AC/non-AC rooms and has 24x7 wi-fi facility across the campus. The number of the rooms are sufficient to accommodate 100 participants and resource persons at a time.
