Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Indri highlighted the importance of research on alternative sources of energy and deacribed it as the need of the hour.

He added that dynamic and thermodynamics mixes are essential in solar material adsorption as they can improve the system by controlling the temperature and humidity in the air.

Engr. Faisal Hassan dilated upon different systems to harness energy from sunlight and introduced a modern honey solar system (Honeycomb Solar Air Heating System) and (E bag/wonder Bag). This system will enable modern types of cooling, he added. He said that solar energy in South Asia, especially in Pakistan, varies from 36 degrees to 82 degrees in winter and summer respectively.

Dr. Sarfraz Hashim, Chairman, Department of Agricultural Engineering, emphasized the promotion of clean energy and said that it would be further improved in the future.

Dr. Shazia said that with the help of e-bags, basic daily meals could be cooked and their use can be further enhanced in the future. On this occasion, Dr. Alamgir Akhtar, Engr. Farrukh Ehsan, Dr. Umair Sultan, Dr. Mohsin Khan and other scientists and faculty members participated.
