It is sponsored by Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt of India. The value of this project is Rs 26 crores (4.3 Million USD). It is a three years duration project (2014-2017). Center of Excellence on E-Business (Role: Principal Investigator) ● The center is developed to support logistics and manufacturing, decision making and operation analytics. It is conceptualized to foster research and develop decision support models with view to resolve complexities in the area of loading/unloading of vehicles, market analysis, procurement, supplier selection, manufacturing planning and scheduling, etc. It is sponsored by Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India, providing a competitive project grant of Rs 4.5 crores. Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP) ● To develop the institute and modernize the laboratories, I took the lead and prepared comprehensive project documents. After presentation and scrutiny, National Project Implementation Unit (NPIU), a body responsible to implement World Bank project, considered NIFFT in the category of Lead Institutions. Under this project, institute received a grant of Rs. 14 Crore (US $3.04 Million) and I was acting as its coordinator of the project till July 2007. Campus wide Networking (CWN) ● ● This project was of worth Rs 1.5 Crore (US $ 0.32 Million). Its proposal was prepared by me and under the plan grant of the institute. The project was sanctioned by Board of Governors and controlling Ministry (year 2002). I was convener of the project. Here, main task was to prepare the specifications of networking components and other hardwares and softwares by involving experts from premier institutions like IIT s. I have coordinated each and every activity, right from selection of networking experts, procurement consultant, floating the advertisement, evaluation of tenders, installation and commissioning, and finally certification. This project was success fully completed and institute was fully connected with internet. As a coordinator, I prepared the documents and supervised the visit of National Board of Accreditation (NBA) team deputed by AICTE. It was a massive coordinated efforts from 35 various agencies and departments and all the six programs got accredited by the team in 2004.
