Final Draft for Mail to be sent to different colleges
puneet batra
Some time back parth, rushil and tarun had prepared a very goo email to be sent to the colleges to call for nominations for Ambassadors. I have edited the same email a bit and also used our previous write ups to make this draft. Please go through this once and pour in the final suggestions. We have to do this quickly so that we can start sending mails to the colleges for mass publicity. If required we can attach a detailed write up, like I have attached here, to give details of initiative. It will be if necessary only. I haven't edited the writeup yet. Here is the final mail.
Dear all,
Technology and Information Forecasting Assessment Council (TIFAC) of Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India is organizing Technology Vision 2035 for our country. This is the second such exercise of TIFAC and is follow-up to the exercise carried out in early nineties under Dr. Kalam (Technology Vision 2020). The program comprises of 11 different themes such as Agriculture, Health Care, Manufacturing, ICT, Energy Technologies, etc. Under each branch there are expert committees which come up with a report to aid the government in policy-making in those areas.
TIFAC and the Energy Technology Advisory committee thought of a parallel student initiative for the same as the students in the age-groups of 18-30 will be decision makers around 2035. And thus, Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC), Govt. of India is providing us the opportunity to contribute our share in defining the Energy future of India. This is the first time that a student initiative at this scale has been proposed.
Here are the objectives of this one of a kind initiative:
- Identifying the trends in energy needs of our people by 2035
- Identifying the appropriate mix of technologies to fulfill those needs
- Identifying the investments in energy R&D, energy related infrastructure and energy education/ training
The Objectives of the present project:
- Aid in the fulfillment of the above objectives
- Reaching out to the students all over the world
- Creating awareness and capturing ideas
- Starting the thinking process of the future decision-makers
- Research Collaborations that should go on forever
- National Integration
The student community, as a whole, is expected to prepare a report in an organized format of good quality by taking inputs from students from all over the nation/world by October 2012. The student report will be available on the web to be used by the government and a gist of what that report contains will be included in the main report.
A team of 15 students from IIT Bombay has created a basic framework to take this project to the next level. Now, to carry it forward to the whole world, we would like a lot more students and youth experts to join us and make it successful.
Come be a part of Energy Technologies Vision 2035 at www.etvision2035.in .
