Gap Sap With Pankaj Trivedi | Biker and Film Maker | S01E10 | Hindi
With over 15 years of experience in the training industry, conducting workshops for over 250 companies, it surprised most people when Pankaj decided to quit the corporate world and follow his heart to do what he loved the most - travel across the country on his bike, and seek adventures that stir his soul. And he got a lot more than what he expected.
Pankaj, a qualified expedition leader having graduated from the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, has trekked some tough terrains, biked across various locales and lived in harsh conditions, just to fuel his passion for adventure. And somewhere along the way, as he met with people from different regions and cultures, he graduated from being a traveler to a story-seeker. His interactions with people gave him a good pulse on how they feel, what they go through, and somewhere deep down; he wanted to make a difference in their lives.
Pankaj at Rosehub's Office during his Varanasi stay.
So he packed his bags, set off on his bike armed with his cameras, raw talent and a heart of gold, in search of stories that needed a happier ending. Join the Journey of Doing Right and help us complete the stories we find along the way, with our Do Righter Pankaj Trivedi. (Quoted from: http://doright.in/pankaj-trivedi/)

Living with a Star | A Lecture by Prof Robert (Erdelyi) von Fay-Siebenburgen
Professor Robert (Erdelyi) von Fay-Siebenburgen has delivered 23rd Institute Lecture of IIT(BHU) on Monday, the 19th September, 2016
About the Speaker:
Prof. Robertus von Fay-Siebenburgen (popularly Prof Robertus Erdelyi, in publication) is a
Professor and Head of Solar Physics and Space Plasma Research Centre in School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sheffield, UK. He is also the Director of Debrecen Observatory in Hungary.
Audience During Lecture at Professor Gopal Tripathi Auditorium, Department of Chemical Engg & Technology
He is a renowned expert in the general field of space plasma physics. The heating processes that generate and sustain the observed high temperature of the solar and stellar atmospheres have so far defied a quantitative understanding despite the multitude of efforts spanning over half a century. The aim of his research is to address these questions through theoretical (both numerical and exact analytical methods) and observational studies (joint ground-based and satellite missions). Particular attention is paid to the solar influence on the magnetosphere and Space Weather. Understanding the subtleties of plasma confinement at high temperatures is also strongly linked to modern fusion
physics. His interdisciplinary research (including e.g. Magnetohydrodynamics computational fluid dynamics [CFD], kinetic theory) has direct applications in the new and rapidly emerging discipline of helioseismology and Space Weather, as well as basic teaching to engineering and science students . Prof. Erdelyi has a wide expertise in teaching and research of space science, plasma physicsn,magetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves, fluid dynamics, analytical & computational techniques. He is one of the world leaders in the field of solar & space plasma research (Citations > 6000, H-Index- 45) with an outstanding track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals (e.g., 02 Nature, 02 Science, 01 Nature Communications, and numerous papers in ApJ, A&A,Solar Physics, MNRAS, Space Science Reviews: The top-most journals in Astronomy and Astrophysics). He is also the scientific advisor in various Indian national projects, e.g., NLST, MAST etc, therefore, has a significant role in Indian Solar Physics.
Abstract of the Lecture (Verbatim as given by the speaker):
“Did you know that more than 98 per cent of material in the Universe is in plasma state? Did you know the atmosphere of stars like the Sun is also in plasma states with temperatures of a few millions of degree K? And, finally, did you also know that the atmosphere of planets in the Solar System strongly interact with plasma flows originating from the Sun causing spectacular phenomena like the Aurora?
In this talk, I will introduce you to the exciting and fascinating world of plasma-astrophysics.
I will demonstrate why the Sun, being the most proxy space plasma laboratory, is so key in this technology-driven world.
I will also address one of the most frightening phenomena that can threaten human civilisation and life in the Solar System: massive energetic storms determining Space Weather. Finally, I will address how the Sun can contribute to solving another great challenge facing the humanity: our endless appetite for clean and green energy.”

Green Homes for India | by Prof Ashok Jhunjhunwala | IIT BHU | English
Padma Shri Professor Ashok Jhunjhunwala
has deliveredthe 24th Institute Lecture of Indian Institute of Technology (BHU)
on
Lecture Title: Decentralized Solar : Can it Help India Get Half its Power by 2030
Ashok Jhunjhunwalais Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras at Chennai, India. After his B.Tech from IITK, he got his MS and PhD from the University of Maine. From 1979 to 1981, he was with Washington State University as faculty. Since 1981, he has been teaching at IIT, Madras.
Dr. Ashok Jhunjhunwala along with Prof. Rajeev Sangal Director, IIT(BHU), Varanasi
Dr. Jhunjhunwala is considered the pioneer in nurturing Industry -Academia interaction in India towards R&D, Innovation and Product Development. He conceived and built the first Research Park (IIT Madras Research Park) in India which houses over 100 R&D companies in its 1.2 million square feet built-up area. TIE conferred him the title of Dronacharya for his contributions to the cause of entrepreneurship, as he incubated and nurtured over 100 companies at IIT Madras. He heads the IITM Incubation Cell and Rural Technology and Business Incubator (RTBI). He founded and had been leading the Telecommunications and Computer Networks group (TeNeT), which has worked closely with industry in the development of a number of products for Indian telecom, banking and power industries.
One of his key focus over the last two decades has been to drive telecom R&D. As a developer of the first Wireless in Local Loop (CorDECT WLL) product in India, he recognizes that in the absence of adequate wire-line infrastructure, India would need to deliver higher and higher bit rate per Hz of available spectrum, but with lower and lower power per bit. 4G and 5G wireless technologies are focused towards this. The R&D tasks in India are to contribute to new fundamental ideas and acquire enough IPR in the area and drive international standards. The first objective would be to get India as a net-royalty inflow nation. At the same time, there has to be a focus on driving telecom design and manufacturing in India, so that its net-imports in telecom goes to zero. Simultaneously, he has been working on using telecom and ICT to make a difference to lives of people in India, especially for its rural people. Using ICT to drive health-care, education, agriculture, livelihood and financial inclusion has been the focus of his work. He was the founder chairman of Mobile Payment Forum of India, which enabled mobile payments in India.
Having made a mark in telecom, over the last couple of years he has focused on power and has come up with innovation to ensure that all homes in India get 24 x 7 power even in situation of extreme power shortage. Using his solar-DC innovation, he is focused on decentralised solar power and believes that by 2030, India should get 50% of its peak power from solar. As a chairman of Technology Advisory Group for Electric Mobility, he believes that 50% of vehicles in 2030 could have electric traction.
He is keen to drive quality into Science and Engineering Higher Education. As a member of Kakodkar committee on IITs and NITs, he has driven that IITs should become primarily research institutions in future, while NITs should become the institutions with highest quality UG education. As a chair of a MHRD committee on “Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education,†and a member of review committee of AICTE, he is targeting both public and private engineering colleges to significantly improve the quality of their education. He believes that ICT can be an important tool to enable this, though strengthening of local faculty is equally important.
As a chairman of a Committee of SAC-PM on water, he has come up with a comprehensive report on different ways that water-shortage, quality and pollution is affecting India and has come up with R&D, Implementation and Policy tasks that India has to undertake to overcome its water problems.
Audience during Lecture at Prof. Gopal Tripathi Auditorium
Dr. Jhunjhunwala has been Chairman and member of various government committees and has been on Boards of several education institutions in the country. At the same time, he has been on the Boards of a number of public and private companies and has driven comprehensive changes, especially in the area of technology, in the companies. He was a Director on the Board of State Bank of India, Bharat Electronics, HTL, NRDC, IDRBT, VSNL and BSNL. Currently he is a Board member of Tata Communications, Mahindra Rewa, Sasken, Tejas Networks, TTML, Intellect and Exicom. He is currently also on the Board of BIRAC and Chairman of Technology Advisory Group of SEBI.
Dr. Jhunjhunwala was conferred Padma Shri in 2002, Shanti-swarup Bhatnagar Award, Vikram Sarabhai Research Award, H. K. Firodia Award, Silicon India Leadership Award, Millenium Medal at Indian Science Congress, UGC Hari Om Ashram Award,Ram Lala Wadhwa Gold Medal, JC Bose fellowship, Bernard Low Humanitarian Award and many more.

They have developed village health care program which has now become a nationally and internationally famous model. It has influenced the health policy in India and globally at least thrice. They first brought to the notice of the world that rural women had a large hidden burden of gynecological diseases. He showed how the pneumonia in children can be managed in villages, and recently, how newborn care can be delivered in villages. Their work has reduced the IMR to 30 in this area. This approach, called the ‘Home-based newborn care’ has been now replicated in several countries, has become a national policy in India, and resulted in the global guidelines (WHO/UNICEF – 2009). They have established the famous community health care and research center ‘Shodhagram’ in the tribal area. They also studied the problem of hidden child mortality in Maharashtra and subsequently launched a programme – Ankur – to reduce child mortality in the State. They have led a compaign against alcohol which led to introduction of prohibition in Gadchiroli district, and influenced the State policy. Recently, he has led a series of studies on tobacco consumption in Gadchiroli, and how to control it in women and children. He has written 2 books of which the one on his ow
n heart disease is extremely popular in Maharashtra. It has received the State literary award. He was a member of the High Level Expert Group to design Universal Health Coverage for India (2010-12), of the National Commission on Population, and of The National Commission on Macro-economics and Health.
