The department of Renewable energy engineering facilitates and stimulates research and capacity development activities, relating to a vibrant and viable renewable and sustainable energy sector, in the country.The Department has developed two laboratories in various specialized area like biomass energy, solar thermal and PV technology, wind energy etc.
The mandate of the department of Renewable Energy Engineering is to carryout teaching, research and extension on renewable energy sources and to develop gadgets and devices for the stakeholders to meet the present energy crisis by substituting/complementing the conventional energy sources by renewable sources and to conserve the presently used fossil fuels. PG and Ph.D. Program in the department will be started very soon.
