On the occasion of the 74th Founder’s Day, the Centre of Excellence for Solar PV Skills was inaugurated at #Manav Rachna campus by Dr. Ashwini K Aggarwal, Director- Government Affairs, Applied Materials India. The centre is a Joint Initiative of Electronics Skill Sector Council of India (#ESSCI), Manav Rachna and Applied Materials.

The objective of the centre is to impart high-quality training for Solar Roof Top design wherein participants will be exposed to the solar design software for planning and assembling the entire structure from scratch.

A training program will be introduced that will involve active participation and guidance of Solar Experts from ESSCI and Applied Materials. 3KW Solar System has been assigned for carrying out experimental work during the training program.

This was followed by the launch of the book titled ‘The Internet of Things using NODE MCU- A Practical Approach to Master IoT’ authored by Dr. Umesh Dutta; Nilansh Khurana, VIII Sem B.Tech CST MRU Student; and Devdutt, MR Alumni (Batch 2015-19, B.Tech ECE) and Research Associate with MRIIC. The book provides hands-on experience to the readers thereby enabling them to deploy NODEMCU Board in IoT Systems.
