Research Evaluation & Development Wing:

RED Wing has built up expertise and specialist facilities in a very broad range of technological and scientific fields which very few organizations in the country can match. The expertise and facilities are mainly used to fulfill the primary objectives of research and development, however, industrial interaction has been given special emphasis for close interaction of the faculty with industry being a prime necessity for technological growth. Towards this goal, interaction with industries is canalized through the following activities:

• Need based and time-bound result-oriented research;
• Industrial consultancy;
• Dissemination / transfer of know-how in the forms usable by the manufacturing industries; and
• Special need based training courses for serving industrial personnel.

RED Wing has been set up with the specific objective of developing inter-action with the industry. This inter-action has been continually growing over the years. With a view to achieving a quantum jump in the present level of collaboration and interaction with industry, RED Wing has set up a foundation for innovation and technology transfer to fulfill the following objectives:

• Commercialization of basic and applied research of RED Wing, through prototype and pilot plant development.
• Catering to the specific needs of industry for product / process development both at industrial premises and at RED Wing.
