Suzlon Energy Limited, the world’s fifth leading wind turbine maker, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with TERI University for setting up and offering an MTech programme in renewable energy engineering and management. This MoU will facilitate Suzlon Energy to contribute to the programme through exchange of ideas and expertise, and guest faculty.

The aim of this degree programme is to produce engineering graduates who have a strong grounding in the renewable energy-engineering subject, and also equip them with a good understanding of the social and economic aspects of energy policy. Backed by an advisory committee constituting of a senior Suzlon executive, this programme will enable them to provide inputs to the curriculum, monitor the quality of the programme, determine and facilitate access to experimental facilities, equipment, etc and oversee the proper conduct.

Speaking about this initiative Tulsi Tanti, CMD, Suzlon Energy Ltd. said, “By joining hands with TERI University we clearly demonstrate our vision and commitment towards green energy. We are proud to extend our support to this course that will give birth to a young dynamic generation of engineers who will inherit the challenge of creating a sustainable future.”

Dr RK Pachauri, chancellor TERI University and director general, The Energy and Resources Institute said, “We believe the graduates of the TERI University who benefit from support being provided by Suzlon Energy will help take the world towards a sustainable energy future.”
