Engineering Entrance , CBSE, State Boards

President Pratibha Patil Saturday buried a 'Time Capsule' on the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur (IIT-K) campus on the occasion of its golden jubilee celebrations and also unveiled a nanosatellite developed by the institute.

The capsule, which is made of a special metal, contains pen-drives, chips, images and several other documents related to the landmark achievements of the IIT-K

Lauding the nanosatellite Jugnu's development team, Patil said it projects the complex nature of tasks that the students there were equipped to handle.

Congratulating IIT-K students and faculty, Patil said that the institute has come a long way in its 50 years of its existence, and also called upon the institute's students and faculty members to develop such devices that can harness energy in efficient ways with minimal negative impact on the environment.

"It (IIT-K) had made an impact on technical education within the country, while its students through their innovations, have played an important role in India, as well as around the world," the president said.

Jugnu, developed by a team of 50 IIT students, will help in collection of information related to floods, drought and other natural calamities. According to IIT-K officials, ISRO, after conducting a series of tests, will launch the nanosatellite from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh.
