Patna, (Bihar Times): Keeping in mind the huge
potential the National Institute of Technology (Patna)
has been advised by the Bihar State Hydel Power
Corporation to introduce in its syllabus a course on
Hydro Power. There is one such course in IIT-Roorkee.
The idea was floated by L P Sinha, the Managing
Director of the Corporation to a delegation of 22
professors from different universities of the country,
who were in Patna to attend the 13-day workshop on
sustainable water resources development and
management. The workshop organized by the Union
ministry of human resources development started on
June 16 and would continue till June 29.
Sinha briefed the delegation about the hydel power
projects going on in Bihar and gave special emphasis
to the role of civil engineers in it. The delegation
had in fact visited some of the sites of the hydel
power such as Barun in Aurangabad district, Tejpura,
Agnoor, Arwal, Walidad and Belsar. All these sites are
situated on the eastern side of Sone river.
