Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

Government initiatives focused on rural technology development are gaining traction, as evidenced by the recent review of RuTAG 2.0 projects held at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. Led by the Principal Scientific Adviser, the meeting assessed progress across seven centers, emphasizing scalable and sustainable technologies that address practical rural challenges while maintaining quality and reliability. A key outcome was the release of a compendium detailing technologies developed by SKUAST-Kashmir, highlighting interventions from 2023-2026. This focus on deepening technology impact and facilitating wider adoption through institutional linkages suggests a growing commitment to translating research into tangible benefits for rural communities.
