Driving India's technological leadership through interdisciplinary innovation
The Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) is the country's oldest multi-disciplinary engineering institute, which has dedicated itself to the nation for the last 100 years. IIT(BHU)'s mandates are to identify new and emerging areas in the context of national development goals.
The area of Data Analytics and Predictive Technologies (DAPT) has been identified as one of the emerging fields whose progress will add significant impact on multiple verticals of the economy:
The activities envisioned under this mission will provide a great fillip to Indian manufacturing and societal betterment, via the development of new protocols, inventions of novel products/processes and services.
The endeavour shall catalyse the creation of skilled young engineers, researchers, technicians, and entrepreneurs, together with human resource at all levels, besides become a key contributor to realizing the vision of:
Harnessing IIT(BHU)'s interdisciplinary strengths for national development
IIT(BHU) has traditional strengths in the development of smart sensors and systems (SSS), development and Information and Communications Technology (ICT).
Expertise in Materials science, Pharmaceutics and Bio Medical engineering enables diversified application areas of interdisciplinary academic and research.
Focus on Power, Manufacturing, Smart City, Mobility, Intelligent Networking, Armed forces response, and Healthy Wellbeing for smart societal management.
The technological foundation of DAPT systems
The development of DAPT technologies requires fundamental scientific and mathematical advances in understanding of the system models, learning algorithms, wide variety of simple to deep networks, along with infrastructural components.
Although the practical DAPT arena of the near future will be built on standard digital electronics, rapid advances are happening in:
Revolutionary processing power
Biological computation
Neural interfaces
Emotion recognition
Structured approach to national mission execution
Research and innovation in academic institutions and industry for DAPT technologies.
Establish CoEs across the country with industrial collaborations.
Generate advanced skilled HR to meet emerging sector demands.
Nurture entrepreneurship and innovation through venture support.
Building blocks of the NM-DAPT mission
Development and deployment of smart systems-of-systems will require skilled human resources and faculty re-training at all levels, in technologies such as:
Research collaborations with international academic & research institutions for the advancement of interdisciplinary approaches in DAPT and associated research in the country.
The NM-DAPT is proposed to be implemented over five years with measurable milestones and outcomes.
