Many Congratulations to Prof. Dharmendra Singh & Team https://t.co/363Oesjb1Q
The 24th Conference on E-Governance (NCeG) 2021 was organised during January 7-8 by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, in association with the Telangana State Government.
The awards were presented by Dr. Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Earth Sciences, Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministers of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
“This development has applications in both civilian and military domains. We hope it will contribute towards the goal of Aaatmanirbhar Bharat in the area of defence technology,” said Professor Ajit Kumar Chaturvedi, Director, IIT Roorkee, while praising the enriching work of the research team.
Speciality of IIT Roorkee Innovation
Among IIT Roorkee’s humongous amount of research work and innovation, this research work is considered to be special for multiple reasons. Radar Absorbing Materials or RAMs are indispensably required to control EM pollution and for advanced engineering requirements in military stealth applications.
“Considering the different applications of Microwave Absorbing Materials (MAMs) in the civil and defence sector, there is a vital need for cost-effective synthesis and fabrication of effective microwave absorbers using low-cost raw materials and less complex fabrication techniques”, as stated by Professor Dharmendra Singh while shedding light on the specific technology of this material and its application.
“Thereby, the proposed solution is to provide an alternative option to develop wideband (frequency: 1-18 GHz) MAMs using e-waste having the properties defined by the end users”, he further added.
As per the research team, a considerable amount of resources such as materials, time, manpower, cost, etc. will be saved with the development of this technique.
This will surely enable the development of end user-defined stealth solutions and products such as camouflage nets using e-waste and radar absorbing materials and paints for EMI shielding and suppression of harmful mobile phone radiation.
