Chitkara University has set up a ‘sustainable smart city research lab’ with the support of the National Science and Technology Council and National Chung Cheng University of Taiwan.

The lab has been established as a part of a four-year project with the objective to develop “international competence” in terms of artificial intelligence techniques as well as on-site deployment. There is a definitive plan to deploy at least one application for at least one city of India, for which project coordinators have chosen Chandigarh.

One of the important goals of the research lab is to establish a connection with the Chandigarh city administration and try to implement sustainable smart city applications in the city of Chandigarh, including environment pollution detection and smart traffic management.

At the heart of the UN’s shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet are the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all developed and developing countries in a global partnership.

Recently, Chitkara University was ranked 13th globally among universities in the sustainable development goal (SDG) of affordable and clean energy (SDG 7) in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, 2022.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Madhu Chitkara, pro chancellor, Chitkara University reiterated her commitment toward areas of research that benefit humanity.

When the hoopoe rendered a soft, musical hoo-po-po call, it entranced the ear and spawned transcriptions of the vocalisation. Many hoopoe names in cultures across the world take from its idiosyncratic call. However, the bird’s presence has ebbed from one frequently encountered.

    Guest column | Liberty sprinkled with responsibility, a sure-fire recipe for success

    Many a time, a student’s entire outlook and career dimension would undergo sea-change post counselling. Parents, often, with their limited know-how and outmoded ideas are of little help. College life, no doubt, offers students a plethora of choices related to picking up courses, selecting subjects, attending classes, appearing in examinations along with dressing up at their will. Only then we can expect to nurture them as individuals with a strong sense of responsibility.

    Guest column | Civic sense among Indians? A pipe dream

    We talk of becoming a developed nation by 2047, but developing a civic sense will probably take double the time! This year, we are celebrating ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ with great fanfare and there is talk of dreaming big and becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2025. It also means respecting others’ privacy and freedom. Let me quote few prevailing irritants as an example. This ill behoves the citizens of a nation that dreams big.

    It was a cold day in January 1974 when my parents and I entered the portals of Punjab Public School, Nabha, where I was to be enrolled. It was only after all youngsters had had their food would our headmistress, GB Malkani, who had found me lying on the cold floor during her nightly rounds have her meal.
