*In a unique program of MHRD of Indian Government, the virtual laboratory is created online with an objective to provide remote-access to Labs in various disciplines of Science and Engineering. This facilitated learning of a large number of students through remote experimentation, which are otherwise available to limited number of users, due to constraints on time and geographical distances, around the world.
