1. Director’s Report
Prof. Pramod Kumar Jain
Director, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (BHU), VARANASI

The Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) owes its existence to Bharat Ratna Mahamana Pandit
Madan Mohan Malviya, the founder of the first residential University of modern India, Banaras Hindu University (BHU),
who could foresee the vital role of technical education in strengthening independent India. Engineering education in
BHU started in 1919 with the establishment of Banaras Engineering College (BENCO). The next stage of development
saw the establishment of College of Technology (TECHNO) and College of Mining & Metallurgy (MINMET). In 1968,
the erstwhile engineering colleges of BHU, namely BENCO, MINMET, and TECHNO, were merged to form the Institute
of Technology (IT-BHU). IT-BHU has been admitting students through the JEE conducted by the IITs since 1972. The
erstwhile IT-BHU was ranked consistently amongst the top engineering institutions of the country. IT-BHU became IIT
(BHU) on June 29, 2012, by an Act of Parliament. Following conversion to IIT, the Institute engaged itself in taking up
the mammoth task of putting many of the procedures and practices similar to those of IITs.

Centenary Celebration Closing Function

The centenary celebrations started from Basant Panchami day of 2018 (22 February 2018) to commemorate the glorious
journey of 100 Golden years of the institute and was continued up to the Basant Panchami day of 2020. On this occasion
of the closing function of the centenary celebration, in the beginning of the program, Professor Pramod Kumar Jain,
Director and Alumni of Golden Jubilee batch of 1970 batch reached Malviya Bhavan and laid wreath at the statue of
Mahamana Madan Mohan Malaviya ji.
The Center for Integrated Teaching and Learning and the reconstructed BENCO Chimney were inaugurated by the
Director, Professor Pramod Kumar Jain. While Inaugurating this building, Director Professor Pramod Kumar Jain
addressed the gathering there and said that with these facilities, the teachers of the institute will get new technology
training in the changing education system, so that they will be able to give better education to the students.
The BENCO Chimney was built in 1930 and about 1000 kilowatts of electricity used to be produced. This chimney was
damaged over a period of time. The initiative was taken by Professor P. Ramaji Agarwal, President of the Banaras Alumni
Association of IITs (BHU) and 1982 batch metallurgical engineering graduate Mr. P. Ramachandran, Director, Banco
Thermal Technology Property Limited, Chennai, rebuilt the chimney for a cost of about Rs. 70 lakhs.

(iv) Activities by the Film & Media Council

IIT Bombay organized the Cultural Meet in December 2019 where the contingent won several prizes, including the
1st Prize in Rebranding Event, 2nd prize in News App Design Event, 2nd position in Street Photography. Overall, the
contingent secured 1st position in Design and Digital Art Category. The Film and Media Council (FMC) has taken
upon several initiatives and has come up with new ideas to help promote and support the growth of digital art among
the students in the ongoing online semester. These include having live online sessions from prominent personalities
in their fields, a series featuring inspiring stories of successful people, and regular posts displaying & appreciating the
student’s works in photography, animation, visual effects, etc.

(v) Social Service

The institute believes that the inherent humane qualities and the spirit of volunteerism already existent in every
individual needs to be nurtured and further developed, thereby blooming out with the full potential to benefit the
society as a whole. Nourishing these values and skills will foster an all-pervasive sense of social service amongst the
student fraternity, catering to our society’s needs and challenges. The Social Service Council, IIT (BHU), manifests
this through four student clubs. Students visited the children in bastis once a week to carry out various activities,
including assisting in academic and training for the Navodaya entrance examination. Last academic session, Kashi
Utkarsh conducted Sangyaan, a science exhibition, to develop scientific temper and a sense of curiosity in children
of the bastis. During this crisis, volunteers are staying connected with the children, providing worksheets. Many
activities like Sports Day and Daan Utsav wherein a craft activities and skill-sharing session named Arpan, an
orphanage visit event called Milan, and a Book collection drive - for the library was held. After this, Gram Mela
was held in Tikri, for sub-events like family planning, science exhibition, parent-teacher-meeting, and scholarship
awareness. Aarohan - The Social Conclave, NGOs were contacted for learning about their work process, was a big
success even in this lockdown situation, and held online. Social Projects’ Club represented IIT (BHU) in the Smart
India Hackathon’20 semifinals and Hult Campus’19 finals by presenting an idea of centralizing household waste
and then selling it to organic farms. It is working on projects like developing an app to translate sign language

to speech and a platform to connect people to solve a particular social problem. The Council also conducted its
annual plantation drive, blood donation camp, and medicine collection drive. The volunteers visited Nasirpur, Patia,
and Kakkarmatta on weekends and educated the residents about health, hygiene, sanitation, disease-prevention,
government schemes, and cleanliness.

(vi) E-cell
E-Cell is a platform for the promotion of entrepreneurship among the students of IIT (BHU) with a vision of “Help
will be given to those who seek it.” It will help in creating a Startup Ecosystem, building relations for promotion
of Startups and Entrepreneurship at IIT (BHU). E-Cell organized several business plan Competitions, workshops,
hackathons and Interactive sessions from high-end speakers and entrepreneurs. It also ran a startup 101 course
where curated online lectures on design thinking, compliance, etc needed for setting up a company were provided.
This year Cell hosted the E-Summit’20 the annual Entrepreneurial festival to celebrate entrepreneurship along with
the aid of our Alumni fraternity.

(vii) Student Alumni Interaction Cell (SAIC)

SAIC has grown multi-fold and remains dedicated to the goal of bringing together the IIT (BHU) fraternity. The cell
has strengthened its online presence tremendously and now coordinates with 50+ city-wise alumni groups. With
the launch of the alumni cell website, the institute has successfully delivered more than 175 documents including
transcript, copy of migration certificates, etc, to alumni across the world. The Alumni bookshelf initiative launched
this year has received 30+ signed copies of books written by our alumni while Alumni Visiting Faculty Program
has brought the Alumni Community closer to the Institute and currently has a total of 6 courses being taught to
students by industry stalwarts. With its motto to connect, engage and celebrate, SAIC had organized the reunion of
the young batch of 2011 and had assisted in the organization of silver jubilee celebration of 1994. The batch of 1994
amassed an amount of Rs. 1.1 crore and had decided to collect an amount of Rs. 3 crore in the coming years. Three
consecutive reunions, namely, reunion of 1981 batch, golden jubilee celebration of 1970 batch and closing ceremony
of centenary celebrations were organised in Jan 2020. In the years to come, SAIC shall continue to grow at the same
rate and endeavor towards the realization of its goal to bring together, the student and alumni fraternity of IIT BHU.
In conclusion, IIT (BHU) is continuously striving for a better future. The new IIT (BHU) emerges from the old,
building on its earlier strengths, and transforming itself to meet the challenges of the future. The major highlights of
this year’s (2019-20) achievements of IIT (BHU) are:

 Total publications were 1186 in 2019-20 in journals of high repute compared to 1036 in the year 2018-19.

6. Architecture, Planning & Design

Year of Establishment: 2019
Head/Coordinator of the Department:Prof K.K. Pathak

1. Introduction of the Department/School:

The program aims to produce qualified architects as per the requirement of registration with the Council of
Architecture (CoA), for license to practice the profession in India. Students gradually learn through practical work
how to evolve an architectural design as a response to at least four, occasionally conflicting, forces that define
the context, namely, historical and cultural antecedents, contemporary social aspirations, climate/geography and
evolving technologies. The aim of the program will be to attain a vanguard position in nurturing thought leaders for
the way we need to build in the future, in India definitely and perhaps all over the world. The pedagogic model shall
strive to consciously move away from the personality driven design practice of the past, towards more inclusive and
collaborative paradigms which are process-oriented rather than result-oriented, targeting truly disruptive, path-
breaking explorations with less weightage given to short-term success or failure.
Although our B.Arch degree is designed in such a way so that it fulfils the educational component of professional
certifying bodies, the upcoming architects should be prepared to realise their social responsibility. Hence, the
program provides an insight into the practical realm through its field-based studio works as well as through study
tours, regular field visits and periodic industry interaction.
This degree covers different areas with primary focus on spatial design, aesthetics and building engineering.
Additional focus areas also cover fields such asarchitectural history, building sustainability, construction
management, material management, advanced technology and evolving technology. Being a part of the prestigious
IIT system, the department will work collectively with other engineering departments to reinforce the techno-
architectural culture among the students.
On the regional level, the Department intends to specifically deal with endemic problems and introduce efficient
solutions for the physical condition of the city of Varanasi and the Purvanchal region, which may be scalable and
adaptable to other geographies, in India and abroad.
Department is spread in an area of 155.69 square meter. Currently, the department has 1 classroom.
Major areas of Research: Architecture, Panning & Design

Head/Coordinator of the Department: Prof. Vijay Laxmi Yadav w.e.f. 01.01.2020

1. Introduction of the Department/School:

Department of Industrial Chemistry was established in 1921 at Banaras Hindu University. Subsequently, it was
renamed as the Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology in 1956. The Department has established
several benchmarks of achievements in teaching and research. It modernizes its programmes to impart education
in upcoming areas of chemical engineering.
The Department presently offers courses leading to B.Tech., M.Tech. and Ph. D. degrees in Chemical Engineering.
The Department also offers courses to IIT(BHU) and Banaras Hindu University. In the new undergraduate
curriculum, the department has been entrusted to offer a number of institute level courses either independently or
jointly with outer departments. The research facilities of the department are utilized not only by other departments
of the institute and BHU but also by other teaching institutions and research laboratories.
The floor area of the department is 4,002 sq. meter. The department has 27 laboratories, one workshop, 7 lecture
theatres, one 250 seat auditorium, one library having over 11,000 volumes of text and reference books and a text
book bank and high speed internet facility. The Department also has a seminar room and a few instruction rooms
and some rooms for faculty members.
The University Grants Commission, New Delhi has granted the Department the Status of Centre of Advanced
Study in Chemical Engineering.
Major areas of Research:
Currently major areas of research in the department are waste water treatment, separation processes, catalysis,
biotechnology, fuel cell, multiphase flow, flow measurement technique, membrane reactor and modelling and
simulation. The department has identified three major thrust areas for future research as energy, environment and
nanotechnology with emphasis on developing affordable solutions for the problems in the country such as drinking
water, energy (harvesting, production and storage) and healthcare.

1. Introduction of the Department/School:

The Department of Electronics Engineering came into existence as an offshoot of Electrical Engineering Department
in the year 1971 with a great effort from Prof. S.S. Banerjee. In the same year the erstwhile Banaras Engineering
College (BENCO), College of Mining and Metallurgy and College of Technology were amalgamated to form the
Institute of Technology-Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU). The Department offers Bachelor, Master and Doctoral
programs in Electronics Engineering with the major thrust areas of Microelectronics, Microwave Engineering,
Digital Techniques & Instrumentations and Communication Systems. The Department has been actively engaged
in research since its inception as evidenced by the research publications. The first major financial support from
the Department of Electronics (DoE), Govt. of India in the tune of Rs.1.0 Crore was received by the Department
in 1980 to carry out research for development of High Power Microwave Tubes. Subsequently, in recognition of
excellent research contribution, the University Grants Commission (UGC) identified the Department to provide
financial support under Special Assistance Program (SAP) in 1983 for five years. During this period, the department
established three independent research centers e.g., Centre of Research in Microwave Tubes (CRMT), Centre for
Research in Microelectronics (CRME) and Centre for Research in Microprocessor Applications (CRMA) supported
by UGC/MHRD. The Department was further recognized as a Centre of Advanced Studies (CAS) by the UGC
in 1989. The Department successfully completed three phases of CAS in the year 2009. The Department is also
one of the DRDO centers for M.Tech. in Electronics Engineering. In addition to this, the Department has been
actively pursuing manpower training and collaborative research programs in specialized areas to meet the national
manpower requirement in R&D laboratories, academic institutions and industries. The Department has a close
interaction with many reputed national R&D laboratories such as DRDO, CSIR, Bharat Electronics Ltd. and leading
software companies as well as foreign Universities.
The floor area of the department is 3561.22 sq. meter. The department has 16 laboratories, 1 lecture hall, and 8
classrooms.
Major areas of Research: Communication System Engineering, Digital Techniques & Instrumentation, Microwave
Engineering, Microelectronics Engineering

14. Metallurgical Engineering

Year of Establishment: 1923
Head/Coordinator of the Department: Prof. N. K. Mukhopadhyay

1. Introduction of the Department/School:

The Department of Metallurgical Engineering, established in the year 1923 has pioneered metallurgical education
and research in the country. The far-sighted vision of Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviyaji has helped
this Department to attain such a distinction. This is now a part of IIT (BHU). The UG programme began in the
year 1923 itself and the first ever undergraduate and doctoral degrees in metallurgy in the country were awarded
by this Department in the years 1927 and 1955 respectively. This is also one of the first two Departments in the
country to confer a postgraduate degree in metallurgy in the year 1959. The undergraduate programme was set on
a firm foundation by the first Head of the Department, Professor Nagardas Purushottam Gandhi. The postgraduate
programme was nurtured by the second Head of the Department, Professor Daya Swarup. Professor Tanjore
Ramachandra Anantharaman, the third Head of the Department, established a fine research school of metallurgy,
firmly rooted in exemplary traditions and ensured all-round growth and high profile image of the Department.
Subsequently, illustrious successive Heads of the Department have continued to do their utmost to enhance the
levels of excellence that the Department is known for. The Department celebrated its Golden Jubilee in the year
1973, Diamond Jubilee in 1983 and Platinum Jubilee in the year 1998 in a befitting manner. The department has 19
laboratories, one workshop, one centre, 3 lecture halls, and 4 classrooms.
Major areas of Research: Microstructural, Structural and Chemical Characterization, Mechanical Behavior,
Deformation Processing and Failure Analysis, Phase Equilibria and Phase Transformation, Non-Equilibrium
Processing of Advanced Materials, Ultra-Fine Grained and Nano-Structured Material, Recycling of Metallurgical
and E-Waste, Design and Development of Advanced Steels, Tribology and Surface Engineering, Thermodynamics
and Kinetics of Metallurgical Processes, Advanced Structural and Functional Materials

15. Mining Engineering

Year of Establishment: 1923
Head/Coordinator of the Department:

1. Introduction of the Department/School:

The oldest Mining Engineering Department in the country, came into existence as early as 1923, as a section of
the Department of Geology, Mining and Metallurgy. Later, in the year 1944, separate departments of Mining
and Metallurgy were constituted under the College of Mining and Metallurgy. The first Ph.D. degree in Mining
Engineering in the country was awarded from this department in the year 1964. This lead was further strengthened
by introducing the First Post- Graduate course in 1966 leading to M.Sc. degree in Mining Engineering, Metal Mining
and Coal Mining, respectively and later the M.Sc. degree in Mine Planning was introduced in 1972. Since, 1995-96
the department offers M.Tech. degree in Mine Environment, Mine Planning and Rock Mechanics. The Department
of Mining Engineering, BHU was one of the first in the country to receive UGC Assistance under COSIST and SAP
Programme in 1984. Subsequently, the Department was upgraded as a Centre of Advanced Study in the area of Rock
Mechanics and Ground Control in 1984. The Department of Mining Engineering, IIT (BHU) occupies a pioneering
position in the field of mining education and research. It has many firsts to its credit. The first Bachelor, Postgraduate
and Doctoral degrees in mining engineering in India have been awarded by this department. Today’s Mineral
Industry is being run by many of its illustrious alumni who are holding key positions within the country and abroad.
Senior faculty members have been recognized by the mining and allied industries as experts in the respective fields
and are members of the important decision making bodies associated with CIMFR, NIRM, UGC, ISMU, NCL, CCL,
SCCL, CIL, HZL, UCIL etc. The Department received generous grants to accelerate its research and developmental
activities. The Department is divided into six divisions with laboratories that are well equipped with the conventional
and modern facilities. Facilities have also been developed for research in collaboration with mining industry to deal
with their practical problems, these laboratories are also equipped to undertake fundamental research in the field
of mining. The Department is also provided with an Underground Experimental Model Mine well equipped for
demonstration, experimental and research purposes particularly in the field of underground mechanised transport
systems, mine ventilation and mine surveying experiments.
The department is spread in an area of 5815.08 m2. The department has 7 laboratories, 1 lecture hall, and 3 classrooms.
Major areas of Research: Rock Mechanics & Ground Control and numerical modelling, Mine Environment, Mine
Ventilation, Mine Safety, Water Soluble Polymer, Mining Geology, Mine Water Management & Environmental
Pollution, Mining Methods, Production and Productivity analysis of Mining Machines, Design of Structure in
Rock, Mine Planning, Reliability Analysis and Slope stability, Environmental Economic, GIS and Remote Sensing,
Operations Research, Mine Surveying, Mine economics, Mine legislation and Computer Applications in Mining,
Mine Safety, Risk Analysis, Reliability and Rock Cutting Technology, Rock Fragmentation Engineering, Drilling and

Year of Establishment: 1932
Head/Coordinator of the Department: Professor Sushant Kumar Shrivastava

1. Introduction of the Department/School:

Department of Pharmaceutical Engineering & Technology is a pioneer in Pharmaceutical education in India
at University level. It was started in July 1932 by Prof.Mahadev Lal Schroff under the auspicious guidance of
Mahamana Madan Mohan Malaviya Ji. Initially, a two-year programme was introduced in 1934 for the degree of
B.Sc. (Pharmaceutical Chemistry). Later, the department has expanded academically by the inception of B.Pharm.
(1937), M.Pharm. (1941), Ph.D. (1945) and integrated dual degree (2006) as its regular programmes. In the year
2014, the UG and IDD programmes were restructured and renamed as 4-year B Tech Programme in Pharmaceutical
Engineering and Technology and 5-year IDD (B Tech & M Tech) programme in Pharmaceutical Engineering and
Technology, respectively.
The Department has produced over 2100 B.Pharm., 1200M.Pharm., 50M.Pharm.(Integrated Dual Degree) and
130 Ph.D. students who enjoy leading positions in industry, academia, drug administration, research institutes and
contemporary pharmacy practice worldwide. The Department has hosted many national and international events
and to name a few are the 17th, 34th & 59th editions of Indian Pharmaceutical Congress in the year 1965, 1982 & 2007
in conjunction with Silver Jubilee, Golden Jubilee and Platinum Jubilee of the Department, respectively.
The department is spread over an area of 5823 m2. The department has 26 laboratories, 2 lecture halls and 6 classrooms.
Major areas of Research: Drug discovery – Identification and optimization of new chemical agents from natural and
synthetic origin for the treatment of diabetes, epilepsy, depression, pain, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, tuberculosis and
other infectious and neurological diseases, Drug formulation design and development – Design and development of
new drug delivery systems with improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles.

Head/Coordinator of the Department: Professor Prasun Kumar Roy, w.e.f. 01-01-2020

1. Introduction of the Department/School:

Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a most interdisciplinary and frontier field of technology, endeavouring to converge
the three uniquely diverge scientific fields: Biology, Engineering and Medicine. The School of Biomedical Engineering
is involved in Teaching, Outreach, Research, Translation and Entrepreneurship, in collaboration with Institute of
Medical Sciences (BHU), Tata Cancer Centre (BHU campus), in-campus Innovation centre, and other Departments
of IIT(BHU). The School has been a pioneer of nation building in the BME sector for about 40 years, being set up by
UGC during the 5th Five Year Plan in 1978, with the appointment of regular faculty in 1985.
The School runs the following programs: (1) a five-year Integrated Dual Degree (IDD) program that conjointly offers
B.Tech in Bioengineering and M.Tech in Biomedical Technology, (2) a two-year M.Tech program in Biomedical
Engineering, (3) a rigorous PhD program, both for young scholars as well as QIP-based engineering college teachers
(4) an intensive research setting for Post-doctoral Fellows and Faculty Fellows (as ‘Inspire’ candidates). The Banaras
Hindu University ecosystem is a seminal paradigm of an Institute of Technology and an Institute of Medical Sciences
thriving in the same campus. This results in excellent collaborative work in Healthcare Technologies and Medically-
oriented product or process development, Incubation of start-ups, and innovative entrepreneurships.

23. Department of Physics

Year of Establishment: 1985
Head/Coordinator of the Department: Dr. Prabhakar Singh w.e.f. 24.08.2017

1. Introduction of the Department:

Department of Physics (formerly Department of Applied Physics, IT, BHU / Applied Physics Section, 1968) established
in 1985, is a center of excellence for quality research and teaching in Physics & Applied Physics. The evolution of
Department of Physics in its present form took over nine decades. Since its inception, physics teaching was both
integral and essential part of the technical education to enable young minds having good grinding in physical sciences.
Therefore, initially all the three colleges (BENCO, TECHNO & MINMET) had their own faculty members in Physics
to do the job. A turning point came in 1968 when BENCO, TECHNO & MINMET were merged under one umbrella
of Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU). This then made it meaningful to have all the physics
teachers from these three colleges to join hands together to form an Applied Physics Section as a part of newly formed
School of Applied Sciences. Finally, we became a Department of Applied Physics of IT-BHU in 1985. At long last,
we became a Department of Physics in 2012 soon after the conversion of IT-BHU into IIT (BHU) on 29 June 2012.
Faculties of the department have been pursuing cutting edge front line research in various areas and in collaboration
with prestigious national and international institutes. The Department currently offers research programmes in the
field of Solar Physics & Space Physics, Astrophysics, Cosmology, High Energy Physics, Nuclear & Particle Physics
Fibre Optics, Photonics & Optoelectronics, Condensed Matter Physics & Materials physics, Microwave Remote
Sensing, Bio-physics and Composite Materials, Energy Studies & Solid State Ionics, Quantum statistical mechanics
and dynamics, Quantum entanglement and quantum information theory etc.

Major areas of Research:

The department has a rich heritage and history of scientific research in space physics including theoretical study of
the planetary atmosphere and solar magnetic field. In the mid 1970s, the whistler wave at low latitude were recorded
for the first time and published in the prestigious “Nature” by the group of our department. (SP)2RG has been
making significant contributions to the theory and modeling of solar plasma in optical, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma-
ray, and in the atomic spectroscopy – especially in the field of diagnostics of electron and proton beams and of the
plasmas they heat. This group has been making seminal contributions in the areas of ‘MHD waves and transients
in the solar atmosphere’ and also in ‘science communication’. Theoretical calculations related to pitch-angle, cross-
sections, scattering are also being carried out. Another group is actively working on the origin of the solar magnetic
field, its dynamics using magnetohydrodynamics and the mysterious solar cycle using a novel theoretical (dynamo)
model. The SP2RG has equipped with VLF-Antenna for upper Earth atmospheric measurements; Advanced Solar
Computation and Analyses Laboratory (ASCAL) to analyse the large-scale solar observational data and model
its magnetic atmosphere. SP2RG has global collaborations (e.g., UK, Poland, Russia, China, Austria, Spain, USA,
Belgium, etc.) as well as participation in international (e.g., Royal Society; Polish National Science Foundation etc.),
and national (e.g., 2m- National Large Solar Telescope; Aditya-I) projects.
The department has now several strong theoretical physics groups (Astrophysics & Astronomy, High Energy Physics,
Nuclear & Particle Physics etc.) who are actively working on Structures and Dynamics of the Interstellar Medium,
Large-scale gas fragmentation and star formation in galaxies, and Gravitational Lensing as an Astrophysical Probe,
Cosmology / Cosmic Microwave background - Statistical Isotropy, Component separation, Low energy QCD at
high precision, flavour physics, phenomenology of top, Higgs, vector-like fermions and singlet scalar fields, and
model building, Nuclear Physics (Gamma Ray Spectroscopy, Nuclear structure model calculations - cranked Nilsson
Strutinsky Model, Shell Model calculations).
The Department carries out a wide range of frontier research activities related to magnetism and superconductivity
and semiconductors, nanostructures, thin films and nano-materials and is backed by many sophisticated equipment
and measurement techniques. Though the main emphasis of these works is on fundamental aspects, many of the
results have a potential for application in industries. In the materials science, we study the electronic, physical,
mechanical, optical, and chemical properties of materials, most often in relation to their structure, and use this
knowledge to understand and optimize their properties and create new, improved materials and devices. Work in

Soft Condensed Matter and Bio-physics is also a front-line research area of the department. “Soft” condensed matter
research explores areas like adhesion, friction, wetting, the movement of fluids in porous media, Modelling self-
assembly and phase separation kinetics in the complex soft materials, understanding recent single molecule force
spectroscopy experiments on biopolymers, Polymers under shear flow, etc. Biophysics and nanotechnology group
aim is to investigate the interaction between 2D, 1D, and 0D materials with proteins and DNA. The main focus of this
group is to develop sustainable technologies using green synthesis method utilizing medicinal plants and biopolymers
for biomedical, energy and environmental applications like biosensors, drug delivery, OLED, bioelectronics and other
nanotechnology applications using various experimental techniques and computational methods. Another theoretical
physics group is also involved in understanding non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many body systems with long
range interaction.
Optics, Photonics and Fiber optics is emerging new field of research in our country. We establish a research lab with
essential facilities to pursue the theoretical, experimental and computations researches in the field of Photonics. We
are engaged in the theoretical analysis of photonic crystals and quasi photonic crystals composed of graded, dispersive
and negative index materials. These works would be useful in study of the photonic crystals having such type of
materials for various applications. It will open new window to design several photonic crystal devices like sensors,
reflectors, switches etc. Research works on the Optical Instrumentation, Non-Destructive Imaging and testing,
Computational Optics and Imaging through random complex media have also been initiated in our department.
Such works has variety of practical applications in underwater imaging, bio-medical optics, space applications etc.
Research on remote sensing is also one of the frontline research areas in the Department. In this field, the growth of
agricultural crops are monitored, classification of crops and the recognition of shape/size of buried objects are done
by scatterometer measurements and satellite image analysis. Such studies are useful in designing of sensors, urban
planning, crop classification, crop-yield and soil moisture estimation for agricultural planning.
Moreover, one of the groups is actively engaged in different types of luminescent materials, particularly inorganic
nanostructures/phosphors having potential applications in the area of energy harvesting, bio-imaging and for advance
lighting applications, etc. Composite material studies are also pursued at the Department and the lab for such studies
is in development.
Research in the field of Green Energy and Solid State Ionics is also carried out in this Department. The energy studies
explore the various fuel cells, materials, etc. to optimize the renewable energy sources. In the Green Energy area,
the work on anode, cathode and electrolyte materials of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) is in focus. Also, preliminary
establishment of lab towards the fabrication and characterization for Solar cells has been done. In addition to it, some
work on hydrogen energy has also been started. Towards Solid State Ionics, the ion dynamics of the structurally
disordered and crystalline materials is being studied. This study is not only restricted to the amorphous materials but
also has been extended to the various materials of SOFC. Also, the work has also been started in the field of materials
for nano piezo- pyro energy harvesters.

33. Main workshop

Introduction.
The vision of the founder of Banaras Hindu University, Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya ji, regarding the engineering education
in this university can be seen in his own Wordings as stated below.
“To advance and diffuse such scientific, technical and professional knowledge combined with necessary practical
training as is best calculated to help in promoting indigenous industries and in developing the material resources of
the country.”
It is with this idea that Malviya ji went for a full scale Workshop in this engineering college, which was christened
as Banaras Engineering College (BENCO).This workshop was used to produce every engineering item that was used
in construction of producing machine tools – such as, Lathe and other product like electric fans, etc. This unit was
providing technical assistance to Martin Burn Electricity Co. and also Diesel Locomotive Works for the maintenance
and fabrication of their several items. It may kindly be noted that for a long time, this unit was a part of teaching
department, i.e., the Mechanical Engineering Department. To make good use of the resources, both in terms of machines
and manpower with the unit, it was providing technical and on the job technical training to less privileged section of the
society. This was making extra manpower available to the University for producing useful products and taking various
kinds of maintenance work, thereby saving enormous amount of money of the University. For example, the whole fleet
of University vehicles was maintained by this workshop.

1. Activities (IIT-main workshop 2019-20 )
