Congratulating the faculty and students, Prof Mehta has called upon them to play a role in making India a carbon-neutral by 2070.“We exist, thanks to molecules like ammonia, and as a chemist, we should see what, why and how systems can be adopted in Chemistry to ensure a sustainable future, he suggested.

Director of IIT-H Prof Murty said that the independent building will take up the students to pursue better research besides the department can also grow by introducing new academic programmes.

“With 280 enthusiastic faculty and excellent students, IITH has been doing exceedingly well in academics, and research, which is reflected in terms of various rankings. I am delighted that the construction activity of Phase-II is going well”, he said.
