About the Event:
Preamble: - The new era of science - Nanoscience is still in its infancy and there are significant challenges in science which need to be addressed for the benefit of humanity. This is the main driving force for organizing scientific events on this emerging area of science in this part of the country. The International Conference on Nanotechnology for Better Living series is being organized after every two years with a unique aim to provide a platform for the young scientists for stimulating deliberations which culminate into collaborative research atmosphere mutually beneficial to all of us. These collaborations in turn will boost not only economic strength but also prosperity of the country. Every time we are making our best efforts to bring together eminent scientists, researchers, academicians and policy makers from across globe to exchange ideas, advance knowledge and discuss key issues.
So far so, we have been able to organize eight editions, the 9th edition of NBL-25 is being organized in Collaboration with IIT Hyderabad from 07 to 11 Sep 2025. It is pertinent to mention that the event is being organized in the backdrop of NBL series, which were marvelous and memorable joint events between IITs and NIT Srinagar. The prominent supporters were Late Prof K L Chopra, Former Director IIT Kharagpur, Dr. M J Zarabi, Chairman, Board of Governors, Prof Rajat Gupta, then Director and Vice Chancellor Veltech, Prof. Rakesh Sehgal, Former Director and many visionaries including Prof K K Kar, IIT Kanpur and Prof P Banerji, IIT Kharagpur. Now the event will be organized under the Patronship of Prof B K Kanaujia, Director NIT Srinagar and B S Murty, Director IIT Hyderabad with the prominent teams from both institutions, including the colleagues from other departments and organizations.
During this convention, we will make arrangements for the pre-conference tutorials and special lectures on crucial area for our bright UG/PG students who are supposed to work on innovative projects and discuss/ address the solutions for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Smart India Hackathon (SIH). A group of college students shall take part and dedicated sessions, "Nurturing young minds for a better world" shall be conducted during the conclave, thus handing over this multidisciplinary science to our young and smart generation. Bringing together more than 500 researchers and scientists with research interests in diverse areas is expected to enhance scientific collaborations which may take the nanotechnology a step closer to realizing its enormous potential for the betterment of mankind. The impact of this scientific gathering will provide an ample opportunity to young students to learn about new inventions in this new and interdisciplinary field. In addition, the endeavor will put the state of Jammu and Kashmir into scientific map of the country and beyond. In the vicinity of natural paradise of the God and on the lap of Zabarwan hills and the famous Dal Lake, we will make NBL-25 a memorable event!
