R Systems has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-Delhi) to further its commitment to AI.
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi is one of the 23 IITs created to be National Centres of Excellence for training, research and development in science, engineering, and technology in India. Established as the College of Engineering in 1961, the Institute was later declared as an Institution of National Importance under the "Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963" and was renamed as "Indian Institute of Technology Delhi'. Since its inception, more than 58,000 students have graduated from IIT Delhi in various disciplines including Engineering, Physical Sciences, Management, and Humanities & Social Sciences. Of these, 6,660 students graduated with Ph.D. degree and 19,387 students graduated with B.Tech. degree. The rest obtained Master’s Degree in Engineering, Sciences and Business Administration. In 2018, IIT Delhi received the special status of Institution of Eminence (IoE) from the Govt. of India, giving it greater autonomy in various matters, including hiring foreign faculty and starting collaborations with foreign institutions.
Under this programme, it is proposed to setup a Centre of Excellence (CoE) on Applied AI for Sustainable Systems at IIT Delhi, which will include a cutting-edge research lab, the creation of an endowed faculty chair position, and the initiation of merit-based student scholarships. This initiative underscores the strategic priority of R Systems to promote innovation, enhance new-age skills, and develop deep tech through CSR Funding of the Company.
The CoE will focus on advancing knowledge, promoting research and innovation, and nurturing future leaders in the field of technology, which consequently facilitate execution of multiple joint projects/ activities with R Systems as a corporate partner under one umbrella thereby enabling high level of sustained focus and commitment for social benefit. This initiative would prove to be a collaborative platform that will brings together industry experts, academicians and researchers to address critical challenges in the technology domain. The CoE may undertake research projects to develop innovative solutions and technologies, address pressing issues and support research and innovation.
