Dr. Appu Kuttan K. K. Director MANIT, Bhopal was the Chief Guest and Dr. Peter Walker and Dr. Richard J. Ball from University of Bath were also present on the occasion. Dr. Appu Kuttan K. K. Director MANIT, Bhopal praised the efforts of the department and said that this is just a beginning and the institute shall keep on organizing such international workshops and conferences. In last two days erudite speakers delivered their thought provoking talks on energy efficient building and building materials. The workshop received an overwhelming response and nearly 140 participants attended the workshop. Dr. M. M. Malik Head, Department Physics, appreciated the effort of faculty, research scholars, students and staff member of the department. The convener of the workshop and Indian project lead of UKIERI-II Thematic partnership project Dr. Rajnish Kurchania briefed the audience about the details of the deliberations in the workshop.
