Annual Progress Presentations of NewGen IEDC Projects

During January 28 – 30, 2021, Chitkara University NewGen IEDC conducted annual progress presentations of 18 projects that have received prototyping funding from NewGen IEDC in the year 2020. Student applicants of each of these projects along with their mentors discussed current status of their projects, challenges, future plans and timeline of completion. These sessions were chaired by Dr. Archana Mantri – Vice Chancellor, Chitkara University, Punjab and Chief Coordinator, Chitkara University, NewGen IEDC. The evaluation committee that comprised of faculty members from different departments of the university included Dr. Harvinder Singh (Asst.

The other objective which was to ensure that applicants meet the timeline of their projects was also achieved in these presentations.
