Radiance of the Sun Clean Energy that Pays for Itself #rscepi #r10EA #IEEE


"Radiance of the Sun: Clean Energy that Pays for Itself" is a one-day workshop exploring solar energy. Led by Prof. J. Ramkumar, Dr. Amandeep Singh, and Shri Diwakar Tiwari from IIT Kanpur, it offers hands-on learning, networking, and policy insights. Organized with IEEE, it aims to champion a sustainable and affordable energy future.


MSME Talk - Resilience in Engineering


Dr. Amandeep gave a talk on Resilence Engineering. Back then, engineers faced the unknown. They built things strong, things that wouldn't break easy. We call this resilient engineering. They used special materials, watched things closely, and made them bendy so they wouldn't snap. Think earthquakes, think weather gone wild! Engineers made the world tougher, ready for anything. Imagine amazing buildings, bridges, machines, all thanks to this resilience. Now, we live in a safer world because of it.

Descriptions on trainings & certifications from international certifying organizations

Projects Undertaken:

1. Ideated, developed & implemented SOPs:
MedTech IIT Kanpur pursues the transformation of the ideas to functional prototypes brought by researchers, students, medical professionals, and business owners. The facility has earned the ISO 13485:2016 certification for its quality management system which defines the strict standards adopted by the lab. In collaboration with their team, Dr. Amandeep Singh has developed a Quality Manual that will be utilised by the Facility (as required by the ISO standard). SOPs were developed in order to fulfil the prerequisites of the regulatory boards and the ISO standards that are necessary for the Quality Management System to be maintained. These are the Standard Operating Procedures, which serve in the capacity of directives for each process. The facility possesses the Engineering and Maintenance processes, the Prototyping Process, the Quality Assurance Process, and the Quality Control Process. The "Medical Device Regulations," the "Good Documentation Practices," the "Good Laboratory Practices," and the "ISO 14971:2009" standards were referred to in order to create the standard operating procedures (SOPs).

2. Visionary leadership facilitated indigenous creations:
Developed a pipeline for networked job acceptance via virtual means. This, reduced errors in record keeping & further increased efficiency due to more transparent job description. Restructured leadership positions on a rolling basis, empowering the teammates & allowing smooth functioning of teams. Strongly motivated team members for self-development, upskilling, & for enrolling in multiple workshops, this facilitated generation of ingenious patents, innovations & inventions. The team built at Imagineering Laboratory could single-handedly overlook a major section of machining activities around the campus, & hence this boosted the efficiency & quality of jobs at Imlab. Thus, the hard-work and teamwork was a testament quality deliverable under various projects under my leadership at Imagineering Laboratory.

3. Focus on revamping Rural Technologies via RuTAG:
RuTAG IIT Kanpur has been pioneering in innovations like Sabjikothi, Bhoomi biocomposter, Solar Dryer to name a few which were applauded by Principal Scientific Advisor to GoI, & further were widely accepted by the rural communities. We focus to innovate a small part of the agricultural sector in India which would further help farmers pan India increase productivity & reduce drudgery in operations. We aimed to achieve this through various vertical. Awareness amongst masses is a precursor for innovations to disrupt the sector, thus people were educated on various economical innovations that could be used to leverage the efficiency and earnings, further workshops demonstrating the working were organized to educate users about them. Educating the youth is a foundational step for making a break-through as this quenches the curiosity of young minds & further brings in a new perspective that allows new innovations to conceive. This was achieved by organizing internships that allowed scholars to develop innovations by careful study of the problems. Further courses were aired online & webinars were conducted to reach audience pan India and across globe (via agMOOCs) to educate people about innovations & further motivate them to innovate indigenously as well. Hence efforts were made wholeheartedly to bring a reform in the current practices in Indian agriculture through means of workshops, internships, webinars and courses to strike innovations.
