A team of students from Delhi Technological University (DTU) secured second place at the prestigious Rajasthan Green Innovation Challenge, held at Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur, for developing an AI-powered bio-solar panel. The team received a cash prize of Rs 15 lakh and was felicitated by Bhajan Lal Sharma.

The team, led by students Shubhika and Pradeep Patel under the guidance of Jai Gopal Sharma from DTU’s Department of Biotechnology, developed the sustainable energy solution using organic waste-based technology. The innovation aims to enhance solar power generation while promoting environmental sustainability. Prateek Sharma, Vice-Chancellor of DTU, said, “The AI-powered bio-solar panel developed by our students is an inspiring example of how technology and environmental responsibility can come together to address global challenges. India must demonstrate to the world, particularly the Global South, that development goals can be achieved without compromising sustainability.”
