Launched in 2004, RuTAG Phase 1 established centers at seven selected Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs):
- Indian Institute of Technology Madras (2004)
- Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati(2005)
- Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (2008)
- Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2009)
- Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (2009)
- Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (2010)
- Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (2013)
RuTAG Phase 1 fostered strong partnerships with approximately 752 NGOs and engaged in 388 projects. This extensive network facilitated the successful dissemination of these technologies across diverse geographical regions.
The final review meeting for RuTAG Phase-1 projects took place on December 22nd, 2023, chaired by Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India. Principal Investigators (PIs) and Co-PIs from the seven RuTAG Centers (IIT Bombay, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Madras, Delhi, Kanpur, and Guwahati) presented their progress reports, highlighting the program's most successful technological advancements. These technologies were evaluated for their potential for wider dissemination and application across various regions of the country.
The thirty-four (34) technologies from RuTAG Phase-1 have been selected for wider dissemination and scale-up. The descriptions of these technologies can be found in this link.
