To bolster research and development across sustainable urbanization<\/a>, healthcare innovation<\/a>, and deep tech entrepreneurship<\/a>, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Research Park Foundation signed three Memorandums of Agreement<\/a> (MoAs).<\/p>\n

These agreements were formalized by Prof. Devendra Jalihal, Director, IIT Guwahati, alongside Maj. Gen (Retd.) L. Padmanabhan, CEO, The Centre for Urbanization, Buildings, and Environment (CUBE), IIT Madras, Dr. Sajal Sen, Chief Operating Officer, The Assam Government<\/a> – IITG Healthcare Foundation, Dr. Shankar Raman, CEO, Pravartak, IIT Madras, a Department of Science and Technology initiative<\/p>\n

Speaking during the event, Prof. Devendra Jalihal, Director, IIT Guwahati, and Chairperson, IIT Guwahati Research Park, said, \u201cWe are excited to develop IIT Guwahati Research Park<\/a> into an innovation hub for the Northeast. Our flagship initiative\u2014a partnership with the Assam Government to create a super-specialty hospital and simulation lab\u2014will unite medical and engineering professionals to tackle pressing healthcare challenges. As the region continues to urbanize, we are also committed to sustainable infrastructure to prevent the issues seen in other urban areas. Through these initiatives, the Research Park is poised to contribute significantly to both regional and national development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about collaboration with IIT Guwahati Research Park, Maj. Gen (Retd.) L. Padmanabhan, Chief Executive Officer, CUBE, said, \u201cWe are excited to collaborate with IIT Guwahati Research Park to address the Northeast\u2019s critical urban challenges. At CUBE, our mission is to provide advanced solutions in sustainable infrastructure, building, environmental planning, and smart cities. With over 250 specialized projects across India, we are committed to leveraging IIT Guwahati\u2019s academic strengths alongside our industry expertise to drive sustainable, affordable development in the region. This partnership enables us to tap into the immense potential within the seven sister states, fostering impactful, multidisciplinary solutions for the built environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In partnership with CUBE, IIT Guwahati aims to develop an advanced urban infrastructure and sustainability hub at the IIT Guwahati Research Park. This facility will serve as a center for interdisciplinary collaboration among engineers, urban planners, environmental scientists, transportation specialists, and policymakers, working to address sustainable urban development, water resource management, and efficient transportation solutions. This initiative underscores a shared commitment to creating sustainable and resilient urban frameworks tailored to the unique needs of Assam and the Northeast region.<\/p>\n


Dr. Sajal Sen, Chief Operating Officer, Assam Government – IITG Healthcare Foundation, remarked, \u201cWe are honoured to partner with IIT Guwahati Research Park in driving India\u2019s healthcare self-reliance. A secure nation depends on robust healthcare, yet much of our medical equipment is imported, creating challenges. Through this initiative, we aim to reduce dependency by developing indigenous technology and fostering collaboration among doctors, engineers, and scientists. Our 400-bed super-specialty hospital and advanced postgraduate programs will drive innovation in biotechnology and medical tech. With IIT Guwahati\u2019s support, we are committed to creating a healthier, more resilient nation.\u201dThrough its partnership with the Assam Government – IITG Healthcare Foundation, IIT Guwahati Research Park will host a corporate office and interim laboratory for the Assam Advanced Healthcare Innovation Institute (AAHII). Set to be a premier \u201cMake in India\u201d center for medical technology, AAHII will specialize in diagnostics and treatment innovations aimed at reducing reliance on imported healthcare technology. The institute will house a postgraduate medical center integrated with a super-specialty hospital and a cutting-edge research wing, bringing doctors and engineers together to drive indigenous healthcare advancements.Dr. Shankar Raman, Chief Executive Officer, IITM-Pravartak, noted, \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with IIT Guwahati Research Park to introduce several key IITM Pravartak initiatives in the Northeast. Our focus includes expanding our evening tuition centers\u2014already supporting thousands of students across the country\u2014to reach rural communities here. Additionally, we aim to cultivate local expertise in semiconductor technology and electronics design, essential for India\u2019s technological growth. Another important area is our specialized training program, designed to equip professionals with the cultural understanding and skills needed to work successfully in the Northeast. Through this collaboration with IIT Guwahati, we are excited to drive impactful programs that foster regional growth and integration.\u201d<\/p>\n

In collaboration with IITM Pravartak, IIT Guwahati Research Park will implement programme focused on skilling, entrepreneurship, and deep tech innovation. Tailored to the Northeast\u2019s needs, with particular emphasis on the semiconductor sector, this partnership seeks to strengthen industry-academia ties and bolster regional engagement in high-tech sectors. The initiative will also align with state government efforts to empower the local workforce with future-ready skills, enabling sustainable economic growth and self-reliance.
