among the researchers, industrial practitioners
and buyers. Both these test rigs are unique in the
world for characterizing fabric filter media used
for particulate emission control in industries.
These test rigs, have been developed through a
project
supported
by
Instrumentation
Development
Programme
(IDP)
under
Department of Science & Technology (DST),
Government of India. Recently NIT Jalandhar
(Project PI: A Mukhopadhyay, Co-Investigator:
A K Choudhary) has transferred the right of
manufacturing of test rigs to Kanwal Enterprises,
Gurgaon, (Hr.) on December 15, 2014.
Two test rigs, viz. a viz. pulse-jet filtration test rig
and industrial filtration rig (Project PI: A
Mukhopadhyay,
Co-Investigator:
A
K
Choudhary).have been developed through a
project
supported
by
Instrumentation
Development
Programme
(IDP)
under
Department of Science & Technology (DST),
Government of India. Pulse-jet Filtration
Instrument can be used for the assessment of
filtration performance of filter media (in flat form)
challenged with aerosol; whereas Standardized
Industrial test rig can be used for the assessment
of filtration performance of filter media in tubular
form similar to industrial set up maintaining clean
air requirement. The cost involved of this
research project was Rs 52.28 lacs and
completed successfully on March 2015.
Dr Harleen Dahiya, Assistant Professor,
Department of Physics has been nominated as
Distinguished Young Scientist (among young
researchers) recognised for her contribution in

Technology”. She is invited to participate in “IndoAmerican Frontiers of Science Symposium” at
Arnold and Mabel Beckman Centre in Irvine,
California, USA from 9-12 August, 2015.
Following research paper authored by Dr Gurbir
Kaur, Dr S P Singh and Professor S K Kaushik
has been awarded the Thomas Howard Medal for
