RONO HILLS, Mar 7: As initiated by Prof Saket Kushwaha, Vice Chancellor, RGU would be collaborating with University of California, Berkely, USA to create scalable and sustainable smart village prototypes.
Eight students of Departmentof Masters of Social Works (MSW), RGU have been identified to work on eight different projects such as Primary Education, Health care, Rainwater harvesting, Farming and Agriculture, Water and Sanitation, Energy and Connectivity, Logistics and Transportation under the Coordinator of Prof. Sumpam Tangjang, Dean Student Welfare.
The Coordinator and all eight students had a direct conversation with Prof Solomon Darwin in University of California, Berkeley through Zoom on Saturday and he explained the benefit of the project to the students of Synod College, Meghalaya, IIT Guwahati and RGU in detail.
University of California, Berkeley and Smart Village Movement (SVM) team in India firmly believe that engaging with Indian varsities will help the movement by bringing together the best of ignited young minds in the country to work in the domain of innovations and rural development.
Though the collaboration between the two Universities, would be mutual exchange of knowledge and resources that benefits both the parties. Most importantly this collaboration would surely have way for the development of scalable models that benefit to Rural Markets and support the state Government in its development activities.
