Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar

After independence, development of the rural sector was considered the primary concern of the Government of India. In 1949, with the appointment of the Radhakrishnan University Education Commission, imparting of agricultural education through the setting up of rural universities became the focal point. Later, in 1954 an Indo-American team led by Dr. K.R. Damle, the Vice-President of ICAR, was constituted that arrived at the idea of establishing a Rural University on the land-grant pattern of USA. As a consequence a contract between the Government of India, the Technical Cooperation Mission and some land-grant universities of USA, was signed to promote agricultural education in the country. The US universities included the universities of Tennessee, the Ohio State University, the Kansas State University, The University of Illinois, the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Missouri. The task of assisting Uttar Pradesh in establishing an agricultural university was assigned to the University of Illinois which signed a contract in 1959 to establish an agricultural University in the State. Dean, H.W. Hannah, of the University of Illinois prepared a blueprint for a Rural University to be set up at the Tarai State Farm in the district Nainital, UP. In the initial stage the University of Illinois also offered the services of its scientists and teachers. Thus, in 1960, the first agricultural university of India, UP Agricultural University, came into being by an Act of legislation, UP Act XI-V of 1958. The Act was later amended under UP Universities Re-enactment and Amendment Act 1972 and the University was rechristened as Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology keeping in view the contributions of Pt. Govind Ballabh Pant, the then Chief Minister of UP. The University was dedicated to the Nation by the first Prime Minister of India Pt Jawaharlal Nehru on 17 November 1960. The G.B. Pant University is a symbol of successful partnership between India and the United States. The establishment of this university brought about a revolution in agricultural education, research and extension. It paved the way for setting up of 31 other agricultural universities in the country.

    Comprehensive study of SRAM cell using dual chirality of CNTFET
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2017-07) Arya, Rashmi; Sharma, K.K.
    Noise tolerant, low power and fast SRAM cells are of high interest today. Data stability of SRAM cells has become an important issue with the scaling of CMOS technology. Memory banks are also important sources of leakage since the majority of transistors are utilized for on-chip caches in today’s high performance microprocessors. Rising “nanodevices” promise the possibility of increased integration density. Recently, Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have caught the attentions with promising future to replace silicon-based materials due to its superior electrical properties and characteristics. In this work comparison of distinct SRAM cell topologies have been presented. HSPICE has been used for simulations of SRAMs in 32 nm, 180 nm CMOS technology nodes and CNTFET. Different SRAM cell topologies are characterized for data stability, write voltage margin, write delay, write trip voltage, write trip current, write power and static current noise margin. The CNTFET SRAM cell has been concluded to have better performance in terms of Stability, write delay, static current noise margin and the overall performance in terms of SPR has been observed better for CNTFET SRAM cell.
