Chitkara reiterates commitment to areas of research for humanity
Chitkara University in northern India has established a ‘Sustainable Smart City Research Lab’ with support from National Science and Technology Council and National Chung Cheng University of Taiwan to develop competence in AI techniques.
“The lab has been established as a part of a 4-year project with the objective to develop an “International Competence” in terms of both AI techniques as well as on-site deployment,” Chitkara said on 2 Sept 2022 of the Indo-Taiwan partnership.
“There is a definitive plan to deploy at least one application to at least one city in India for which project coordinators have chosen Chandigarh (to start with),” it said.
One of the important goals of the research lab is to establish a connection with the Chandigarh City administration and try to implement Sustainable Smart City Applications in the City of Chandigarh, including Environment Pollution Detection and Smart Traffic Management.
At the heart of the UN’s shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an urgent call for action by all developed and developing countries in a global partnership.
It has been extremely important for all organisations to work toward achieving 17 Sustainable Development goals. Chitkara University has been diligently contributing toward achieving these goals and has been awarded numerous times.
Recently, the Chitkara University was awarded the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7) in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2022.
Besides that, Chitkara University had also achieved the overall position of 201-300 in the rankings and was ranked in the top 100 in SDG 12 that is – Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 13 Climate Action.
Besides that, Chitkara University had secured a rank of 101-200 in SDG 6 – Clean Water & Sanitation.
This is a noteworthy point of consideration that only 13 projects were granted by the Ministry in Taiwan out of 48 applications, said Chitkara University.
