The Ranbir and Chitra Gupta School of Infrastructure and Design and Management helps IIT Kharagpur develop a SMART campus
Keeping up with the Government of India's call to develop Smart cities, the Ranbir and Chitra Gupta School of Infrastructure Design and Management (RCGSIDM) is not only developing the necessary expertise, knowhow and testing facilities, but new facilities set up in the School will help IIT Kharagpur itself develop a Smart campus.
Two new laboratories were recently inaugurated at the School--the Infrastructure Monitoring and Analytics Lab and the Infrastructure Evaluation Lab.
