Dear Reader,

 

IIT-Kharagpur has developed a 'painless microneedle', which is thinner than a human hair, for vaccine and drug delivery. Researchers with the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering have developed the micropump and microneedle, which are integral parts of transdermal drug delivery systems capable of administering large and viscous drug molecules in a painless way. Read more about the novel system in the below newsletter.

 

                                                                                                                    

Director V.K. Tewari posted a Facebook update on the COVID-19 ration distributions this past weekend.

"IIT Kharagpur has started the 4th phase of COVID relief distribution this week. Supported by the alumni, this initiative will span over the last week of August and the first week of September to distribute essential items to the underprivileged community who have been affected by the pandemic. The Institute has been distributing relief materials to about 150-200 persons daily keeping in mind the issues related to community spread of #COVID19, social distancing, the safety of the security personnel managing the activity, and the relief recipients. Added to this is the monsoon which is at full blow at this time of the year. I am sharing the experience and views of our Registrar and Security Officer."
