(Dr. Rajendra S. Varma)
Dr. Rajendra S. Varma from Sustainable Technology Division, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Visited School of Materials Science and Technology and delivered a seminar on " Greener Synthesis of Organics and Nanomaterials and Sustainable Applications of Nano-Catalysts" on 2nd January, in SMST Seminar Room. He visited our institute on the invitation of Dr. R. Prakash.
His presentation summarizes the recent activity in chemical synthesis involving benign alternatives, such as the use of supported reagents, and greener reaction medium in aqueous or solvent-free conditions. The synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, coupling reactions, and a variety of name reactions are the primary beneficiaries as exemplified by the synthesis of several organic compounds, in aqueous media in conjunction with microwave (MW) irradiation.
He emphasized the role of vitamins B1, B2, C, and tea and wine polyphenols which function both as reducing and capping agents, in providing extremely simple, one-pot, green synthetic methods to bulk quantities of nanomaterials in water. Shape-controlled synthesis of noble nanostructures via MW-assisted spontaneous reduction of noble metal salts using sugars had also been presented.
A general method had been discussed which accomplishes the cross-linking reaction of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with metallic systems such as Pt, Cu, and In; bimetallic systems, namely Pt-In, Ag-Pt, Pt-Fe, Cu-Pd, Pt-Pd and Pd-Fe;and SWNT, MWNT, and C-60.
The strategy is extended to the formation of biodegradable carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) composite films with noble nanometals; such metal decoration and alignment of carbon nanotubes in CMC is possible using MW approach which also enables the shape-controlled bulk synthesis of Ag and Fe nanorods in poly (ethylene glycol). MW hydrothermal process delivers magnetic nano ferrites and micro-pine structured catalysts can also be obtainable in water from readily available metal salts, were another emphasis of his presentation. Finally the sustainable generation of nano particles using polyphenols from waste and their applications in catalysis and environmental remediation had been highlighted.
A brief detail and a list of relevant publication can be found at his web page.

The seminar was concluded with a extensive academic discussion, faculty and student interaction and followed Lab visit.
It may be mentioned that he accepted the invitation to visit the Institute at a very short notice and made a lot of efforts to come to Varanasi.

The literary competition for the first yearites was held on 8-9 January, 2010 at Entrepreneurship Hall, Department of Chemical Engineering. The event drew tremendous response from the freshers and shed light on budding talent in the college. Students debated on humorous topics, racked their grey cells in the Quiz and stumbled along in Extempore and JAM (Just A Minute) conducted by Mr. Neeraj Soni (4th year, Engineering Physics). The enthusiastic response has resulted in the inclusion of Hindi events in Samvaad- the literary event of Kashiyatra ’10 to be held from 22-25 January, 2010.
The highlight of the Quiz was the J-Buzzer circuit introduced for the very first time in IT-BHU which proved an instant hit with the quizzers. J. Krishna Teja and Karthikeya D. (1st year Mechanical) emerged victorious in the fast-paced quiz conducted by quizmaster Raunak Kalra (3rd year Mining). Dheeraj Kumar (1st year Civil) and Ayush Somani (1st year Electrical) won the English and Hindi JAMs respectively. In the English debate judged by Ankit Khanna (5th year Engineering Physics) and Deep Jariwala (4th year Metallurgy), the first position was bagged by Manoj Kumar and Rishav Goel (1st year, Electrical). Nitish Saxena (1st year, Metallurgy), Sarmishta Dutta (1st year, Comp. Sci) and Samriddhi Khurana (1st year, Mathematics and Computing) were adjudged best speakers.
The Literary team deserves a special mention for pulling off the event spectacularly. We hope this momentum carries on till Kashiyatra and the fest is a huge success!

Robotics club, IT-Gymkhana organized first workshop, in a series of workshops to be organized for students of first year, on 10th December. More than 500 students from first year attended the workshop in two sessions.
First year was divided in two groups, in first; Rajputana hostel was covered in 10-12am session and in second; Limbdi hostel was covered in 2-4pm session. Workshop started with introduction of club and Magnum Opus’10. Core team of Magnum Opus briefed students about different activities and workshops planned for students. In workshop students were taught basics of electronics and mechanics. More emphasis was given to application part rather than theoretical aspect of the subject. To make workshops more interesting quizzes and informal talks were carried out in between.
These workshops provide first yearites a common platform where they can discuss, share ideas and participate in technical competitions. With this very motive a new “robotics club” have been formed to prime technical activities in college Robotics club in association with MO’10 (Magnum Opus) team is going to conduct workshops, events and guest lectures throughout the year. Robotics club has planned to conduct about 10-12 workshops this year for first year students (all workshops are free of cost), along with society projects in coming days.
Freshers are very enthusiastic about technical activities in institute and are looking forward for future workshops.
(Interested students in technical activities are urged to join official Google group of Robotics club at: http://groups.google.co.in/group/robotics-club-it-bhu)
