Odisha Guv lauds IIT, IISER Tirupati for a decade of excellence & innovation
Tirupati: Governor of Odisha Dr Kambhampati Hari Babu visited Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Tirupati and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Tirupati on Monday. The visit marked a moment of reflection on the progress of two premier institutions that have emerged as academic and research leaders over the past decade. At IIT Tirupati, Dr Hari Babu was welcomed by Director Prof KN Satyanarayana, who presented a detailed overview of the institute's growth through a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation. The Governor interacted with Deans and Heads of Departments, acknowledging the strides made by the institute in academics, research, and infrastructure. Reflecting on his role in the establishment of these institutions during his tenure as a Member of Parliament, Dr Hari Babu expressed his satisfaction, saying that it was heartening to see the institutions that were sanctioned during his tenure now thriving and contributing meaningfully to the country's higher education landscape. He offered several valuable suggestions to further strengthen the institute's impact, including the effective implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, timely resolution of cases under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace (POSH), introduction of more industry-aligned skill development courses, and promotion of environmental sustainability. Joint Collector of Tirupati District, Shubham Bansal, and other officials were also present during the visit. Later in the day, the Governor proceeded to IISER Tirupati, where he was welcomed by Director Prof Santanu Bhattacharya and incharge Registrar Inderpreet Singh Kohli. A detailed presentation highlighted the institute's decade-long journey, emphasising its research milestones, educational innovation, and eco-friendly infrastructure. In his address, the Governor applauded IISER Tirupati's commitment to scientific excellence and sustainability. He expressed his profound appreciation for the institute's state-of-the-art infrastructure and particularly commended the sustainable features integrated into the campus, recognising them as a benchmark for modern educational institutions. The Governor's visit to these institutions is part of a broader initiative to assess and understand the evolution of higher education across the country.

IIT Guwahati Researchers develop contactless voice recognition sensor for individuals with voice disabilities
Guwahati: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, in collaboration with Ohio State University, USA, have developed an underwater vibration sensor that enables automated and contactless voice recognition. It is indicated that this technology could offer an alternative communication method for individuals with voice disabilities who are unable to use conventional voice-based systems. The research findings have been published in Advanced Functional Materials, co-authored by Prof. Uttam Manna (Department of Chemistry), research scholars Debasmita Sarkar, Rajan Singh, Anirban Phukan, Priyam Mondal, and Prof. Roy P. Paily (Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering) at IIT Guwahati, along with Prof. Xiaoguang Wang and Ufuoma I. Kara from The Ohio State University. According to the team, voice recognition technologies are widely used in smart devices today, yet they remain inaccessible to people with voice disorders. Recent studies suggest a considerable percentage of children and young adults between the ages of 3 and 21 experience some form of voice disability, highlighting the need for more inclusive communication tools . To address this gap, the researchers focused on the air expelled through the mouth during attempted speech. It is stated that even when sound is not produced, this exhaled air can disturb a water surface, creating subtle waves. The team's sensor, positioned just below the air-water interface, detects these minute vibrations and translates them into electrical signals. The sensor is made from a conductive, chemically reactive porous sponge and uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to interpret the signal patterns. This AI-powered system allows for the recognition of attempted speech without sound, enabling hands-free communication with devices. It is noted that the prototype developed in the lab costs approximately ₹3,000, with ongoing research aimed at reducing costs through potential industry collaboration. According to the researchers, the device has shown durability in extended underwater use and could have broader applications, including in exercise tracking, movement detection, and underwater sensing. As a next step, the team intends to pursue clinical validation and expand their dataset by collecting samples from individuals with voice disabilities. This is expected to help refine the model to recognise specific words or phrases necessary for operating smart devices. Speaking about the developed sensor, Prof. Uttam Manna, Department of Chemistry, IIT Guwahati, said, 'It is one of the rare designs of material allowing to recognize voice based on monitoring the water wave formed at air/water interface because of exhaling air from mouth. This approach is likely to provide a viable solution for communication with those individuals with partially or entirely damaged vocal cords.'
