Mission REACH
Today’s liberalized economic order is witnessing silent competitions for sustenance and excellence in almost every sector of the economy. Focusing on such competition at both national and global levels, Technology Information Forecasting & Assessment Council (TIFAC), department of science and technology, Govt. of India launched Mission REACH (Relevance and Excellence in Achieving new heights in educational institutions) in the year 2000 – a mission embedded in Technology Vision -2020, Govt. of India. Under the Mission REACH program, institutions of proven potential are being selected for creating Centers of Relevance and Excellence (CORE).
These TIFAC-COREs are mandated for excelling in focused areas. The prime objective of establishing the COREs is to mobilize human resources of international standards by imparting quality education and involving them in frontier research in diverse disciplines that are of immediate and high relevance to the Indian industry and the society. These COREs leverage the synergy of a triangular linkage among world class centers which will be the leaders in their respective fields. Through these centers, technology generation and skill upgradation of work force is to be done on a continuous basis. One such TIFACECORE in the area of Fiber Optics and Optical Communication has been established in Delhi College of Engineering (DCE), Delhi.
The VISION of this advanced R&D center is: “To establish a word class knowledge centre providing education in the area of Fiber Optics and Optical Communication System that promotes research and development leading to innovative applications of Fiber Optics, fostering institute-industry linkages and entrepreneurial culture encompassing all aspects of interaction of light and matter for the betterment of the society.”
The centre has following OBJECTIVES:
• Development of Laboratories in the area of Fiber Optics and Optical Communication to support on –going program at B.E. / M.Sc / M.E. level.
• Starting new academic program
• Offering special courses related to Fiber Optics and Optical Communication at BE/ME/MSc/Ph.D catering to the emerging needs of the industry.
• PhD programs supported by experiments and simulation work in the field related to Fiber Optics, Optical Communication Systems and Networks.
• Undertaking joint R&D projects in collaboration with industrial partner and other academic/scientific organizations
• Exploring & establishing international collaborations.
• To conduct workshops, short term training programs, organize seminars and conferences related to the general area of optics and telecommunication sytems.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPEMENT
• Multiple accesses techniques in Optical Fiber Communication Sys tems and Networks
• Design and Development of Optical Fiber sensors and Opto Transceivers.
• Nano - Photonic and Nano- optoelectronic devices.
• Theory and Experiments on Photonic Crystal Fibers and on Photonic Bandgap Devices. The chief coordinator of the project is Prof. R.K. Sinha email id - dr_rk_sinha@yahoo.com, rksinha@dce.edu.

DELEGATION VISITS D C E
A delegation of University from Taiwan led by Prof. S.C. Lee, PhD (Standford University) and President of National Taiwan University (NTU) visited DCE on 24th march 2009, to establish a collaboration between DCE and NTU. It is expected that collaboration wil be formalized for summer internship of DCE undergraduate students and PhD level research work wil be done including exchange of research scholars. Japanese delegation visited DCE (18th – 24th march 2009) for a collaborated project between India and Japan. This INDO-JAPANESE project is based on conducting helical materials and development of Field Effect Transistors (FET’s). It was started in 2007 and involves exchange of faculty (Research Scholars and Professors). The delegation also delivered a scientific talk for applied chemistry department on 19th march . Dr. H.M.Cho, Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, Kongju National University, South Korea visited Delhi College of Engineering in second week of January 2009. Dr. Cho visited Center for Advanced Studies & Research in Automotive Engineering and interacted with the faculty and researchers of DCE. Dr. Cho’s visit to DCE was to strengthen the relations between the two organizations and to explore the possibility of execution of a joint research project.

Aglasem - a hit with DCE’s Undergrdates
DCE Times brings you the reviews of AGLASEM.com –an initiative of 2nd and 3rd year students.
Aglasem is blessing to DCites .I firmly believe that it should not be limited only to DCE.An interactive platform should be created where students can share notes and assignment. It should be diversified in a way to extend the traffics , limited now only to exam time.
Samrat malik, IT, 3rd year
According to me aglasem is an out of the box idea. It has a very user friendly interface with a lot to explore. The blog also let us to communicate with the Aglasem team. I got motivated to see Aglasem that I have decided to bring out a same kind of site for ME students.
MD Akhtar, Mechanical, ME
Aglasem is a good initiative. It has reduced the fatigue of standing in long queues at the Xerox shops. I think an uploading facility should be provided so that students can exchange the stuff. I extend my wishes to Aglasem team.
Aakash Abrol, CE, 2nd year
“Aglasem.com” The name says it all.The LONG wait for a hub of previous yrs papers of all branches n subjcts is a full stop! catering to the crucial “11th hour “ needs of DCEites... somebody has heard the inner voice well...and given it a soul A nice initiative and a commendable job!! Thankfully,it’ll save us all lota coins and papers!!
