In a proud moment, Shri Ram Murti Smarak College of Engineering & Technology (SRMS CET), Bareilly, has added a significant milestone in its academic journey, wherein a groundbreaking project of Dr Sovan Mohanty, Associate Professor & Dean Students Welfare (DSW), ECE Department at SRMS CET on ‘Design & Development of Deep Implantable Dielectric Resonator Antenna for Wireless Body Area Network in Animals’ has been chosen for an exclusive 2-month training cum workshop under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana-Remunerative Approaches for Agriculture & Allied Sector Rejuvenation (RKVY-RAFTAAR) program at IVRI R-ABI, under Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India.
However, this accomplishment in advancing technology for animal welfare, is the result of collaborative efforts of Dr Sovan Mohanty, Project Supervisor & Er Kamran Ashraf, a Research Scholar & M Tech student (Batch 2021) of CET campus.
AGRICULTURAL INNOVATION MEETS ANIMAL SCIENCE
The Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Govt. of India initiated the RKVY-RAFTAAR program with a goal to foster innovation in the animal science sector. Dr Mohanty’s project, featuring a deep implantable dielectric resonator antenna, aligns perfectly with the program’s objectives by offering innovative solutions in the field of animal science.
REVOLUTIONIZING BIOMEDICAL COMMUNICATION
Sharing relevant details of the project, Dr Sovan Mohanty says, “We have designed a miniaturized, low-profile, implantable antenna beyond 6 GHz for next generation Bio-medical Sensing Application, which acts as a front-end telecommunication device in a deeply implanted biosensor for sensing & targeting drug (medication) delivery applications. The ICAR—Indian Veterinary Research Institute through its IVRI- पशु – विज्ञान Incubator, which is one of the India’s premiere Animal Science incubators for development of start-ups is implementing the programme ‘Navodaya’—Agripreneurship Orientation Programme. However, radiofrequency & microwave technologies are the front runners for wireless bio-sensing, imaging, hyperthermia & other clinical applications.”
On achieving this fete, Dr Sovan Mohanty expresses his gratitude to SRMS Engineering Institutes for their unwavering support throughout this project, which reflects a perfect blend of academic excellence and a commitment to enhancing the well-being of animals through cutting-edge technology in the field of biomedical communication.
