OBJECTIVE OF THIS PRESENTATION

NOT to Promote any Organisation / Individual, but ONLY a Case Study on How to Promote a new Course / Program in a compelete new area ?

It is NOT just developing a Curriculum, but to ensure that Students are developed to take up the challenging assignments and become successful in their career

NEED OF LIGHTING EDUCATION

(A) LACK OF AWARENESS(i) Energy Efficient Light Sources / Controls(ii) Light Pollution(iii) Depletion of Natural Resources(iv) Pollution due to use of Inefficient Light Sources

(B) INDUSTRY REQUIREMENT(C) EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES –

Socio-Economic Impact

POLLUTION DUE TO LIGHT • What is Light Pollution ?• CONSEQUENCES OF LIGHT POLLUTION• Energy Waste• Effects on Human Health &

Psychology • Disruption of Eco Systems• Loss of Safety• Effect on Astronomy• REDUCING LIGHT POLLUTION

• Mr.S.Chakraborti, Sr.General Manager – Bajaj Electricals• Mr. Anil Valia – Educationalist• Prof.B.K.Dash – Eminent Scientist & Inventor from USA• Dr.Avinash Kulkarni – Ex. President : ELCOMA• Dr.V.D.Karad – Educationalist, Executive President &

Director General – MAEER, Pune• Mr.H.S.Mamak, Vice-President – Board of Management -

CIE• Mr.P.K.Bandyopadhyay – Director, CIE – India• Mr.Prakash Barjatia – Chairman, ISLE-MSC

CONCLUSIONS• Wide gap between demand and supply of

Lighting Professionals• Illumination Engg. is being taught hardly at 3 or 4

Institutes as one of the Electives at BE Level• Only PG in India on Illumination Technology at

MIT,Manipal / Jadavpur• Nowhere Lighting Technology is taught• Need for systematic study on requirement of

Industry for Professionals at different levels

INTERACTION WITH ELCOMA• MIT was invited by ELCOMA to make a

presentation on the proposed Course in GB Meeting held on 23.06.2006 at New Delhi

• Presentation was made by Late Prof.P.D.Chidgupkr and Mr.Prakash Barjatia

• The Initiative was appreciated by all the members present

LIGHTING v/s ILLUMINATION

General Perception – Lighting = IlluminationIs it so ? NO –Illumination i.e. visible light is only a tiny

fraction (400-700nm) of total electromagnetic radiation spectrum.

UV ( Ultra Violet ) – Less than 400 nm IR ( Infra Red ) – More than 700 nm

APPLICATIONS OF UV LIGHT• Analysis of Minerals and Metals• Pest Control• Spectrophotometry• Bio-chemistry• Photolithography• Sterilization• Disinfecting Drinking Water• Food Processing• Fire Detection • Telecommunication• Industrial Applications• Agriculture, Biotech, Biomedical, • Defense from biological, chemical, attacks etc.• Communication, industrial control and computers• Tanning
