| Non-Conventional Energy System (PG Diploma Course) |
| |
| To integrate the emerging technologies in energy sector in the courses of conventional science education so as to develop new ideas in search of new Energy Sources which is more safe, cheaper easily available and harmless to environment.
The main objective of this course is to educate people regarding the need of alternative energy source, which are safer, cheaper and locally available. This Diploma course is to provide basic infrastructure to develop research this field and to create awareness of the importance and need of new energy sources. If the students complete this course, that they can manage the new source of Energy locally, regionally and globally. |
