2.9 Preparation of Database
The data/information regarding R&D
work in power sector being carried out by
various agencies/organizations in Private as well
as Government Sectors in India was obtained
and compiled in the form of a Directory and
is available on CEA Website in form of a
directory.
2.10 CEA Chairs at Indian Institute of
Technology, Delhi
An MoU exists between CEA and the
Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi under
which two CEA Chair Professorships, one in
the Center for Energy Studies alternatively
Department of Mechanical Engineering and the
other in Electrical Engineering Department, has
been established, to fulfill following objectives:
• To take part in the academic programs of
IIT, Delhi, as full time professors/faculty in
the Center for Energy Studies alternatively
Department of Mechanical Engineering
and Electrical Engineering Department and
coordinate HRD programs in the frontier
areas of Power Management;
• To develop R&D programs relevant to the
needs of CEA and in areas defined in the
appendix to the MoU; and
• To initiate and develop HRD programs
relevant to the needs of CEA and to
coordinate courses for any batch of students
from the CEA.
