ISRO team may visit Jadavpur University tomorrow for technical collaboration on campus security

An ISRO delegation is scheduled to visit Jadavpur University on Thursday to explore possibilities of implementing advanced technology for campus security and addressing issues like ragging. The decision comes after Governor CV Anand Bose engaged in discussions with the ISRO Chairman regarding security concerns. Sources indicate that the ISRO team's primary objective will be to assess the feasibility of deploying technologies such as video analytics and target fixing techniques at Jadavpur University.

Radio frequencies will also be a topic of consideration during the ISRO team's visit, as they explore the potential for communication enhancement on campus. It is anticipated that the team will conduct meetings with university officials to discuss the implementation of these technological solutions.

Among the areas of focus for the ISRO team is the issue of ragging, which has been a concern on many educational campuses. The idea of seeking technical assistance from ISRO to combat ragging was initiated by Governor CV Anand Bose. The task of coordinating with ISRO was entrusted to Jadavpur University's Vice-Chancellor, Buddhadeb Sau. A preliminary meeting between the Vice-Chancellor and ISRO took place last Friday, where technical solutions and facilities were deliberated upon.

The forthcoming ISRO team visit aims to explore the installation of CCTV cameras at various points within the campus, enhancing overall security. This collaborative effort underscores the commitment to student welfare and safety within the university premises.
