With intentions to include this project as a part of its curriculum for research students and faculties, the Head Of Department Mr. PJ Narayanan, addressed this project as a crucial part of development towards the autonomous development in India.
The Institute is working on a project for providing data on the condition of roads in Hyderabad, India to the government agencies, Narayanan said. Under the project, a car fitted with cameras is proposed to be sent on the roads and the cameras would capture images on the condition of roads.
