The emerging landscape of electric vehicles
2022-11-25 11:00 - 12:30 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
Electric vehicles are the new paradigm of the automobile industry. The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is arranging an invited talk on the Emerging landscape of electric vehicles-The new era of mobility to discuss how India is gearing up for this huge opportunity and the challenges that come along with the new pattern of mobility. Dr Deb Mukherjee, the Managing Director of Omega Seiki Mobility Pvt Ltd, will handle the session.
About the talk
Globally, almost all OEMs have made plans to switch to nonfossil fuel vehicles. Data shows that out of global production of 90 million/annum, 76% will switch to electric vehicles by 2040. In India, this transition has also started in the last five years with Government intervention. In the field of 2 and 3-wheelers, we are seeing a significant switch to Electrics in the previous 5 years. Government is incentivising demand with incentives like FAME2. In addition to this, on the supply side, there are PLI schemes, etc. Moreover, Government is targeting a 30% conversion to electric vehicles by 2030. Given the Indian automotive industry numbers, this will be a massive scale of electric vehicles in the country. Apart from domestic demand, EVs have the potential to become one of the biggest exporters for India, both in vehicles and components. The opportunity size is more than $500Bn.
To prepare for this tremendous opportunity, we need to start large-scale manufacturing of cells, batteries, powertrains, and other electronic components. The supply side challenges are equally enormous as there is a severe lack of materials, technology, and supply chain in the country. The most important question is how India is preparing for this mega opportunity and the challenges in this new paradigm of mobility.

Unravelling the perceptions on Time!
2022-12-10 19:00 | Online event
Humankind has always been enthralled by the ever-intriguing concept of Time and its perceived nature. This complex phenomenon with the scientific deliberation of its absolute or relative nature, has been extensively discussed in literature, creative arts, and scientific academia. The Department of English is organising a webinar titled “Time and Apocalypse” on December 10, 2022. Distinguished writer and physicist Prof. Vandana Singh is the keynote speaker of the session. Dr Soni Wadhwa, Assistant Professor, Department of English, who is teaching the open elective course titled Time Travel Narratives (that includes Prof Singh’s two time travel stories as well) would be engaging Prof Singh in an interaction. The webinar will expound on the tenets of Time and its cultural notions in perceiving modern-day crisis phenomena such as climate change.
Abstract
“Time” is one of the most used words in English, but it is also one of the least understood and most perplexing – as a phenomenon as well as an idea. In this talk, Prof. Vandana Singh will explore the physics of time while focusing on the two extreme views of time, absolute and relative. The view held by Isaac Newton is that time is absolute and it has also taken root in different cultures as the only truth about time. The view held by Albert Einstein is that time is relative, a subject that has inspired much speculative fiction and science fiction films such as those dealing with time travel. Prof Singh will talk about these different views of time as well as alternative cultural conceptions that offer new insights as we confront modern-day apocalypses such as the unfolding horror of climate change.
About the Speaker
Prof. Vandana Singh is an Indian science fiction writer and physicist, and a professor of physics and environment at Framingham State University in the US. While her background is in theoretical particle physics, her current academic work is on a transdisciplinary conceptualization of the climate crisis. She is a 2021 Climate Imagination Fellow at Arizona State’s Center for Science and the Imagination, where, along with three other international science fiction writers, she worked on climate fiction in the lead-up to the UN COP 26 Climate Conference in Glasgow in November 2021. Her book of short stories Ambiguity and Other Machines was a finalist for the 2019 Philip K. Dick Award and the Crossword Book award. She is a winner of the Carl Brandon Parallax Award for her novella Distances. Her work has been published in numerous magazines and anthologies and has frequently been reprinted in Year’s Best anthologies.

Dr Lorenzo Contessi on many-body systems
2022-12-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Online event
International research exposure is a prerequisite to developing an analytical bent of mind and knowledge acquisition. Global exposure help acquaint scholars with the nuances in the recent research domains and methodology. The Department of Physics is organising a Department Research Seminar to promote research discourse with eminent scientists and scholars from all around the world. The seminar will be addressed by Dr Lorenzo Contessi, Postdoctoral Researcher, IJCLabs, on December 14, 2022. In this seminar titled “Many-body systems around universality”, Dr Contessi will discuss various universal systems, especially in the unitarity universality class.
Abstract
Universal systems are quantum mechanical objects that can be described similarly despite having different typical sizes, energies, and degrees of freedom. This is possible because they share identical few-body properties. Unitarity is arguably the most common universality class for low-energy physics and can be found in hadronic, nuclear, and atomic fields. This interconnection between fields is important because it allows for the passage of knowledge from one field to another. This is of special benefit to the fields in which very little is experimentally known since emergent phenomena can be predicted from more widely known sectors of physics. What is the “best” theory to describe the emergent phenomena maintaining interdisciplinarity is not a simple question to be answered. However, effective field theories result is the most natural framework for this search for their systematic improvability and the connection to the underlying physics of the various universal systems.
Join the webinar to learn how to build an effective quantum mechanical theory, how to pass knowledge from one field to others, and what phenomena emerge in many-body systems.

Advertising: A Creative Market of Jingles and Slogans!
2022-12-17 14:00 - 15:00 | Zoom
Advertisement jingles are not just associated with marketing of a product or service, but deeply resonates with nostalgia that brings a chain of childhood memories back to present. The catchy slogans and jingles of old ads of Maggi, Parle G, and Amul, are imprinted on our memories even though some stopped telecasting or has been upgraded with trendier versions. The Department of English organises a webinar on “Advertising: Crazy or Cool?” on December 17, 2022. The session will be addressed by Ms Srinjayi Sengupta, Copy Supervisor at Ogilvy, the Mumbai chapter of the internationally acclaimed advertising agency. Ms Sengupta will provide insight into the advertising world’s complications through an engaging webinar.
Abstract
The funniest definition of advertising is that it’s something that happens on TV when one goes to the bathroom! We’ve all bragged about how annoying ads are. And yet, they are also among our most memorable moments. Think of the old Maggi, Parle G, Amul, or Fevicol ads that have stayed with us as examples of innocent childhood desires or cravings for solutions in adolescence and young adulthood. In the form of catchy slogans and jingles, we remember wondering about the outlandish, yet marvelous treats these ads promised: a colorful candy, a cool image, a yummy snack, a relief for mom from all the drudgery and pain. All this and more! In this interaction, Ms Srinjayi Sengupta would talk about advertising as she has consumed and produced giving us a ride into the world of ideas with all its speedbumps of execution. Come and spend some time listening to how ads are made and unmade, idea by idea.
About the Speaker
Ms Srinjayi Sengupta has been a writer for most of her life and a copywriter for the last seven years. She is currently with the advertising agency Ogilvy in Mumbai and has been working on brands such as Asian Paints, JSW, Delhi Capitals, and Polycab. When she is not writing, she spends her time reading books (sometimes) and memes (most of the time).

Tax Policies and Inconsistencies: Complexity of the GST Act
2022-12-23 11:00 - 12:30 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Department of Economics is organising a special lecture by Prof. R Srinivas on December 23, 2022. The lecture on “Evolving Design of Goods and Services Tax” will highlight the inconsistent buoyancy of the GST tax implemented in India. The Goods and Services Tax was introduced as a harmonised tax system for the taxation of commodities in India in June 2017, covering more than 60% of the commodity transactions in the country. Union and state governments have been concurrently levying this tax and administering it. There are no differences in tax rates, tax bases and administration processes across India. Prof. Srinivas will elucidate why the adopted tax system remains complex and yet to be wholly efficient.
Abstract
The effort to harmonise commodity taxation in India started in 1993 at a conference of state finance ministers resolving to move towards a non-distorting Value Added Tax (VAT) system in India. The earlier arrangement of the levy of Excise Duty on production by the Union government and the levy of sales tax on transactions by the state governments created a complex, economically distorting and non-buoyant tax system. With the adoption of VAT, the existing problem was thought to be resolved.
Though all the states adopted VAT in 2006, the distorting tax system prevailed with differences in tax rates, tax bases and the continuance of old sales tax on inter-state tax. The Union and state governments formed an empowered committee on commodity taxation in the late 1990s, and since then negotiations went on to culminate in the implementation of GST in June 2017.
Though the GST is supposed to be buoyant, it is not consistently buoyant to be considered a reliable source of revenue. The two major commodities, petroleum products and liquor are outside the GST. This continues to distort the commodity tax system. The creation of the GST council to resolve conflicts between states and between union and state governments on issues relating to GST is also seen as another source of political friction by the states who have given up a substantial portion of their tax powers. In terms of tax administration, smaller firms face unsurmountable difficulties in adhering to the regulations of the GST act in terms of filing tax returns and getting refunds of tax credits.
Therefore, with several conflicts remaining unresolved the GST as a system of commodity taxation is still evolving and has yet to reach a level of maturity and stability.
