In a strategic collaboration, the Rockefeller Foundation is extending support to the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT-D) for the establishment of the Climate Sciences and Technology Chair. This initiative is poised to cultivate advancements in climate technology interventions, steering toward the resolution of pressing global climate challenges.

He anticipates that this partnership will significantly contribute to research-driven climate action both within and beyond the institutional boundaries of IIT Delhi.
