Chandigarh, May 13

A seven-student team from the UIET has been given Rs 4 lakh by the MHRD for developing motion-sensing gloves.

The UIET is the only team from North India to have been funded out of the 17 nominated from across the country. Prof Renu Vig, president, Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC)-Panjab University inspired the team — Jannat, Sahil, Vastvikta, Rashi, Varun, and Poojita — under the mentorship of faculty members — Dr Prashant Jindal, Dr Rakesh Tuli and Dr Mamta Juneja — to develop the innovative product. The device has been going through various design upgrades over the past one year in the Medical Devices & Restorative Technologies lab at the DIC, UIET. The team competed through multiple elimination rounds to identify as the most innovative and useful proof of concepts (PoCs) developed by engineering students. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
