NIT Srinagar delegation hosts key meeting with ‘Bagh-I-Ali Mardan Khan’ unit holders

November 09, 2024 | BK News Service

The delegation from Mechanical Engineering Department and senior students of Electrical Engineering Department  of National Institute of Technology (NIT) on Saturday held a meeting with the office bearers of the Industrial Union of Baghe Ali Mardan Khan regarding the 100% solar rooftop installation.

The meeting was attended by several unit holders of the industrial area to discuss the development of the area as a model industrial zone for 100% solar rooftop installation.

It was initiated by the MED, NIT Srinagar, represented by Dr. Saad Parvez, with Ex M.D and CE KPDCL Er. Bashir Ahmad Dar also graced the occasion.

During the meeting, a proposal was presented by a group of NIT students who had conducted a detailed survey of the industrial area,under the supervision of Dr Saad Parvez,  Director and PI Greenovator Incubation Foundation,  NIT Srinagar, estimating the potential for solar power generation, cost analysis, and return on investment.

 The proposal was thoroughly discussed, and it was decided to finalize the Detailed Project Report (DPR) within the next week for submission to higher authorities, including Director Industries.

This initiative began on 17th September of last year when Er Bashir Ahmad,  who is also a startup at GIF-NIT  and Dr. Saad Parvez gave a presentation on the scope of solar rooftops in Jammu and Kashmir.

The students from Electrical engineering department who were present at the occasion later formulated a consultancy firm,to conduct a survey and cost estimation for solar rooftop installation first at NIT Srinagar, and later at the industrial estate BAMK. The survey found a potential of 3MW (3000 kW) of solar generation capacity on the NIT campus.

Following the success of the NIT project, the department then assigned the students to prepare a similar proposal for the Baghe Ali Mardan Khan Industrial Area.

The students surveyed every unit in the area and successfully drafted a proposal for the saturation of solar rooftops in the industrial area.

Baghe Ali Mardan Khan Industrial Area, located in Downtown Srinagar, is an ideal location for implementing solar rooftop technology, not only to promote solar power usage within industries but also to extend its benefits to the broader Shahri Khas area.

A key immediate outcome of this initiative is that six senior NIT students are now set to become consultants for small-scale solar plants, pending some field exposure.

Additionally, the unit holders of the industrial area have gained valuable insights into the benefits of solar rooftops and are now more informed about the potential of solar energy.

Dr. Saad Parvez said that immediate achievement is that 6 senior students of NIT are all set to become consultants for small solar plants, of course after some field exposure and unit holders have also become aware about benefits of Solar Roof Top.

“The potential of solar energy is limitless, and together, we will illuminate a brighter, greener tomorrow,” he said.

The report would be pushed to Govt for policy formulation and implementation to obtain  solar roof top installation subsidy and promotion for sustainability and Green  Kashmir initiative.
