This milestone is deeply rooted in visionary research and leadership. 🙏 Deepest gratitude to our Co-Founder and Mentor, Prof. @subimal_ghosh from the @ClimateIITB. His profound guidance and vision have been foundational in shaping JalViks.

@IndiaDST kindly release the first installment of the sanctioned projects of the last call (recommended 2 years back). All our collaborators from different BRICS countries have received their fundings from their Government agencies. Only Indian PIs did not receive the funds.

🌿Understand before you act.☘️ The Living Lab initiative is central to @iitbombay’s vision for sustainability. Prof. Jaideep Joshi and his team are establishing a Living Lab in the Western Ghats to closely study and monitor forest ecosystems. youtu.be/rmE9fzWSqg0

From jungle to savannas: Changing Indian landscapes Ecological bimodality means our environment is balanced between two worlds - dense forest or savannas. Climate change and erratic rainfalls are pushing us toward the latter. However, a new study from @iitbombay, sheds light on the powerful human actions in helping us save our lush ecosystem.

IIT Bombay was pleased to host a high-level delegation from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), USA on 16th February 2026 for the academic engagements aimed at advancing the proposed IITB–UIUC Undergraduate Exchange Programme. The visit featured leadership interactions, curriculum discussions, faculty presentations and the formalisation of the UG Exchange Programme through an MoU signing ceremony. The IITB–UIUC UG Cohort Exchange Programme has been designed to enable students from both institutions to visit each other’s campuses and learn, innovate and grow together through joint academic engagement, shared cohorts, cross-cultural exposure and global professional pathways. The first trial cohort is planned for AY 2026–27, targeting 3rd-year undergraduate students, with opportunities for IIT Bombay students to undertake a two-month internship in the United States after their third year, with earning potential. The pilot phase will commence with six departments — Department of Aerospace Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering and Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science. The programme is envisaged as the foundation of a broader long-term strategic partnership, with future expansion into postgraduate exchanges, joint or integrated degree programmes, cotutelle pathways, collaborative research initiatives and wider global innovation partnerships. This engagement marks an important step towards strengthening IIT Bombay’s global partnerships and building a sustained academic collaboration with UIUC. #IITBombay #UIUC #GlobalPartnerships #StudentExchange #InternationalCollaboration #HigherEducation #GlobalLearning #AcademicExcellence #StudyAbroad #ResearchCollaboration #Innovation #EngineeringEducation
