About the Department

Reliable supply of energy is a key issue of this century. With the aim to achieve this need of human life, Centre for Non-Conventional Energy Resources was established in the year 2000. The aim of the centre is to work for Green power. The UGC has sanctioned an innovative one year M.Phil. degree course in Energy. This course deals with the issues of alternative energy sources and sustainable development. The aim is to perform an objective cost-benefit analysis on each form of alternative energy to determine large and small scale application. Particular attention is on the efficiency and limitations in terms of usable energy. This course provides a chance to students to work for energy problems of our country by providing them training in both theoretical and experimental aspects.
