RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

 
 

Today, the scientific community increasingly recognizes that environmental degradation is having a significant impact on human development. Notably, it is the poor who are disproportionately affected by the degradation of their land, air, water and biological resources, with many lacking access to clean and affordable water and energy services.


Ensuring environmental sustainability and access to energy services is key to achieving all of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – the eight goals that represent a global commitment to make rapid progress on key development issues. There is a “Centre for Energy and Sustainable Resources” in R.M.K.Engineering College involved in projects pertaining to Energy,Water and Environment. It is headed by Dr.A.Jagadeesh.

The Projects are:
