IIT Bombay’s annual student technology festival Techfest is
one of the largest of such festivals in Asia.
The 29th edition of
this festival was organized during December 22-24, 2025,
which attracted about 2 lakh students from all over the India
and globally. As a part of its outreach programme, NCPRE
participates in all such events to inform young students
about the importance of solar energy and the R&D work
being done at NCPRE.
TechConnect is a part of Techfest, and
serves as a dynamic knowledge-exchange platform that
bridges academia, industry, and innovation. Through
workshops, competitions, and expert interactions, the event
promotes technological excellence, collaboration, and
future-ready skills among participants. This year too, NCPRE
participated in the TechConnect and was visited by many
students, and also academicians and industry persons.
