West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose has initiated a dialogue with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to explore possibilities of the use of high-end technology to prevent the menace of ragging within campuses of state-run universities.
The initiative has been mooted in the backdrop of the ragging-related death of a fresher of Kolkata’s iconic Jadavpur University (JU) on August 10.
Raj Bhavan sources said that late Thursday evening the Governor had dialogues with a couple of top officials of ISRO through the use of high- technologies like image matching, remote sensing technology, automatic target recognition and video analysis, among others. Sources further said that the Governor has initiated similar dialogues with other reputed educational institutes of the country on this count.
